The expert assessment of the biological efficiency of the food BAD “Siberian Cedar cone Oil”.

The biological active food additive “Siberian cedar cone oil” is cedar oil obtained from Siberian cedar seeds (Pinus sibirica).

BAD “Siberian Cedar cone Oil” is a natural source of omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The research performed have shown that BADs produced by two manufacturers contain 66.3 – 66. 8% of omega 6 PUFAs. the share of linoleic acid (18:2 omega 6) is 46.31-47%.Ā  Cedar oil contains 20.4-20.9% of oleic acid (18:1). The amount of octadecatrienoic acid with double bonds 5,9,12 (C18:3 omega 6) is 19.87-20.0%. The presence of this linolenoic acid isomer is a specific feature of cedar oil and confirms its authenticity.

Linoleic acid C18:2 6 contained in BAD canā€™t be synthesized inside the human body, its deficiency results in the predisposition to different diseases.Ā  Linoleic acid normalizes the condition of blood vessel walls, increases their plasticity and reduces their permeability, also it makes some antisclerotic effect. Octadecatrienoic acid C 18:3 6 with double bonds 5,9,12 is a biologically active energy component which produces some immunostimulating and generally strengthening effect.
