Contact SupplierPine nut oil, also called pine seed oil or cedar nut oil, is a vegetable oil, extracted from the edible seeds of several species of pine.
Pine nut oil is composed of 90% unsaturated fatty acids, 50% of which are PUFAs, 40% MUFAs, and 10% SFAs (Ryan et al., 2006). Linoleic acid (all-cis-9-,12-18:2) is the most abundant fatty acid in pine nut oil (PNO), and oleic acid (cis-9-18:1) is the second most abundant fatty acid in PNO.
In addition to its being a potent satiety promoter and digestive aid, extra virgin pine nut oil is also successfully used in naturopathic medicine to treat peptic ulcers, gastritis, and other gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular, inflammatory, and autoimmune disorders.
