Physicochemical Properties and Sensory Attributes of Cold-Pressed Camelina Oils from the Polish Retail Market

Cold-pressed camelina oil (CPCO) is exceptional seed with a unique fatty acid profile promoting health and wellness. Therefore, this work focused on estimating comparing the physicochemical properties sensory quality of eight CPCO samples available Polish market. All analyzed oils were rich in α-linolenic (ALA = 29.91–36.27%) contained low amounts saturated acids (SAFA 10.61–12.20%). Oxidative stability studied samples, using Rancimat test, ranged between 4.8 6.8 h, while peroxide (PV 0.58–4.61 meq O2/kg) anisidine (AnV 0.15–1.60) values differed significantly. Moreover, water volatile matter contents (WVMC 0.05–0.17%) phosphorus level (P 3.03–13.58 mg/kg) monitored commercial samples. Low concentrations polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants (Σ4PAHs 0.72–7.22 μg/kg) established all oils. A quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) was developed to characterize Six had high overall (OSQ > 4.0), but OSQ < 3.5 an unacceptance for two The lexicon might be used industry monitor product quality, profiling new development, benchmark competitors’
