This study aimed to analyze the physicochemical properties and nutritional quality of oil extracted from the camelina seed genotypes NS Zlatka and NS Slatka, grown in Serbia, using both Soxhlet extraction with n -hexane and the cold-pressing technique. Extraction technique did not have an effect on oil yield. Camelina oils exhibited satisfactory physicochemical characteristics, which were influenced by the extraction methods. The oils were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, with α-linolenic acid being the most abundant. They were characterized by a balanced ω-6 to ω-3 ratio (0.5), low atherogenicity index and thrombogenicity index values, and a relatively high hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratio. Cold-pressed oils contained significantly higher amounts of α- and γ-tocopherols and showed greater oxidative stability at moderate temperatures, as confirmed by the Schaal oven test. Despite this, their oxidative stability decreased at elevated temperatures (Rancimat test) compared to solvent-extracted oils. Conversely, solvent-extracted oils had higher levels of β-carotene and showed superior resistance to high-temperature conditions. Due to its unique characteristics, nutritional properties, and health-promoting attributes, cold-pressed camelina oil presents significant potential for application in food, nutraceutical, feed, and cosmetic industries. |
