Grape seed oil

Grape Seed Oil From China Grape seed oil from China is an excellent source of Omega 6 (linoleic acid) the essential acid that aids metabolism and lowers serum cholesterol. Low in saturated fat, grape seed oil is also an excellent source of Vitamin E. How would you like to raise your HDL (high density lipoproteins) and lower your LDL (low density lipoproteins) without any abvious effort. To the best of current scientific knowledge, grape seed oil, a high lineolic product is the only food known to raise HDL and lower LDL. Studies indicate that lineolic is sadly deficient in your diets-Grape seed oil is 76% lineolic acid. Grape seed oil is the oil for the health conscious consumer. Grape seed oil has no cholesterol, it is high in polyunsaturated Vitamin E . Composition Grape seed oil (also called grapeseed oil or grape oil) is a vegetable oil pressed from the seeds of various varieties of Vitis vinifera grapes, an abundant by-product of winemaking. Grape seed oil is used for salad dressings, marinades, deep frying, flavored oils, baking, massage oil, sunburn repair lotion, hair products, body hygiene creams, lip balm and hand creams. Most grape seed oil is produced in Italy, with other producing nations including France, Spain, and Argentina.[citation needed] Although known to Europeans for centuries, grape seed oil was not produced or used on a large scale until the 20th century, largely because grape seeds contain a lower percentage of oil as compared to other oil-producing seeds, nuts, or beans.[citation needed] Grape seed oil composition tableSpecification: Color (25.4mm):≤35;R≤3.5Acid value:≤0.25Moisture(%):≤0.05Impurity(%):≤0.05 (mml/kg)Over oxidize the value:≤10Oleic acid:12-25%Linoieic acid:60-76%Linolenic acid:≤0.5%Dalmatc acid:6.0-8.0%Stearic acid:3.0-6.0% Uses Cooking Grape seed oil is extracted from grape seeds and has a relatively high smoke point,approximately 420 °F (216 °C), so it can be safely used to cook at high temperature. Grape seed oil can be used for stir-fries, sautéing and fondue. In addition to its high smoking point, grape seed oil has other positive attributes in relation to cooking. It has a clean, light taste that has been described as "nutty". Because of its "neutral" taste, grape seed oil is often used as an ingredient in salad dressings or as a base for infusing or flavoring with garlic, rosemary, or other herbs or spices. It is also used as an ingredient in homemade mayonnaise. The metabolic energy density of grape seed oil is comparable to that of other oils: about 120 kcal per tablespoon (34 kJ/ml).[citation needed] However, because less oil is needed for cooking, it can be used within a low-fat diet especially when combined with good frying techniques (such as using enough oil, not overcrowding the pan, and having the oil at the correct temperature) which reduces the amount of absorbed oil. Cosmetics Grape seed oil is a preferred cosmetic ingredient for damaged and stressed tissues, possessing regenerative and restructuring qualities which allow for strong control of skin moisturization. It can help skin retain the normal structure of epithelium cells and nerve cells via supporting the cell membranes.[citation needed] It is noted[weasel words] to be especially effective for repair of the skin around the eyes.[citation needed] Used as an all-over skin moisturizer, grape seed oil is known to reduce the look of stretch marks[citation needed]. A light, thin oil, grape seed oil leaves a glossy film over the skin when used as a carrier oil for essential oils in aromatherapy. It contains more linoleic acid than many other carrier oils. Grape seed oil is also usable as a lubricant for face shaving. Possible medicinal benefits Grape seeds contain several antioxidants, including polyphenols, including proanthocyanidins, which show some health benefits. [1] In particular, sufficiently high amounts of resveratrol occur that it can be extracted commercially. [2] Despite this, these antioxidants are not likely to be present in significant amounts in the cold-pressed grape seed oil itself, [3] since proanthocyanidins are polar molecules and therefore insoluble in lipids. Antioxidants from grape skins and seeds are more concentrated in products such as grape juice and red wine. Grapeseed oil also may cause allergy reaction. Usually patients advised to avoid canola, soy or sunflower oil may be advised to use grapeseed oil, but may they may be allergic to it as well.
