摘要
The paper gives a short overview about the production and composition of borage (Borago officinalis) and evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) oil considering special aspects of the production as cold-pressed oil. Both oils are characterized by a remarkable amount of gamma-linolenic acid, which has some nutritional advantages. The fatty acid composition of evening primrose oil is dominated by linoleic acid with about 72% and about 13% gamma-linolenic acid, while borage oil consists of twice the amount of gamma-linolenic acid and only 38% linoleic acid. The amount of saturated fatty acids is higher in borage oil. The tocopherol composition of both oils is dominated by gamma-tocopherol, with borage oil containing twice the amount compared to evening primrose oil.
