ABSTRACT
The authors studied fatty-acid composition and the content of biologically active components of a new type of vegetable oil prepared from coriander seeds. It has been found that 82% of the total content of fatty acids are monoenic (oleinic and petroselinic acids), the share of petroselinic acid comprising 50-60%. Biological properties of coriander fatty oil were studied in an experiment on growing white rats, the oil was included into the food ration for the animals (25% of calorie value) during 12 days. It has been established that deodorized coriander fatty oil produces no detrimental effect on the growing animal body, however, it has a lower food value as compared to sunflower oil.

Biological properties of grape seed oil, included into the ration of animals in the amount of 25% of calorie value during 11 weeks, were studied in growing male rats. It has been established that deodorized grape seed oil is close to sunflower oil by its chemical and biological properties. The possibility of using grape seed oil as full value food vegetable oil has been validated.

Experiments on growing albino male rats were made to study the food value of the vegetable oils: soybean and rapeseed ones containing different quantities of linolenic acid. These oils were included in the animals' diet in the amount of 25% with respect to caloric value for 12-13 weeks. It has been established that as the content 18:3 omega 3 in the food fat was reduced, the metabolism of fatty acids in the body improved, manifesting in a noticeable rise of the efficacy of food fatty acids metabolization. This process was affected not only by the ratio 18:3 omega 3 and 18:2 omega 6 in the food fat but also by the total balance in it of fatty acids.
