In addition to China, they are nowadays cultivated for food in several European countries, Russia, Canada, the USA, and Japan. Sea buckthorn berries are a rich source of flavonoids, mainly flavonol glycosides and proanthocyanidins. Depending on the genetic background, growth conditions, and ripeness of the berries, vitamin C concentrations up to over 1 g/100 ml juice, have been reported. Sea buckthorn berries contain inositols and methyl inositols, components of messenger molecules in humans. Sea buckthorn seed oil is rich in essential α- linolenic and linoleic acids, whereas the most abundant fatty acids in the berry oil are palmitoleic, palmitic and oleic acids. Other potentially beneficial lipophilic compounds of sea buckthorn seeds and berries include carotenoids, phytosterols, tocopherols and tocotrienols. The effects of sea buckthorn fractions on inflammation, platelet aggregation, oxidation injuries, the liver, skin and mucosa, among others, have been reported. The aim of the thesis work was to investigate the health effects of sea buckthorn berries and oil in humans. The physiological effects of sea buckthorn berries, berry components, and oil have mostly been studied in vitro and in animal models, leaving a demand for more clinical trials. In the first randomized, placebo-controlled trial of this thesis healthy adults consumed 28 g/day of sea buckthorn berries for three months. The main objective was to investigate the effects on the common cold. In addition, effects on other infections,

Industrialization of oil and fats began with the creation of a cotton seed mill, due to higher demand several different plants have been studied to get good and healthy oil and fats. In this research the fixed oil from the berries of Sea Buckthorn was characterized and studied for its fatty acid composition by biochemical tests and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS). The chemical characteristics of oil from seeds showed the saponification value 248.36, iodine value 80.49 and free fatty acid value 11.28%.

    WWW.QNUTRAPHARMA.COM WWW.QNUTRAP SEA BUCKTHORN OIL Omega 7 fatty acid to support skin and eye health Nutritional Information One capsule provides: Sea Buckthorn Oil 500 mg of which: Palmitoleic Acid 150 mg Take two capsules daily with food. Swallow with water. SUMMARY Omega 7 for the health of the mucus A natural source of tocopherols, tocotrinols membranes. and carotenoids. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. DESCRIPTION Sea buckthorn oil is a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) including palmitoleic acid (omega-7), gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6) and alpha linolenic acid (omega 3). Sea buckthorn oil is also a rich source of alpha and beta carotene and vitamin E. It is high in antioxidants and has anti-inammatory properties. Sea buckthorn oil nourishes the delicate mucous membranes particularly in the eye and the vagina, where it reduces post-menopausal vaginal atrophy. Sea buckthorn oil also aids with the skin, and is used therapeutically with atopic dermatitis, ulcers, wounds and burns. HOW DOES SEA BUCKTHORN OIL SUPPORT THE HEALTH OF THE SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES? Sea buckthorn oil is rich in palmitoleic acid, which is also found abundantly in the skin. When taken orally, sea buckthorn oil has multiple therapeutic benets to the skin and mucous membranes2. It is also a rich source of tocopherols3 and carotenoids of which lycopene, carotenes, and zeaxanthin4 which enhances its therapeutic action even further. Anti-inammatory: Multiple studies conrm the signicant anti-inammatory action of sea buckthorn oil5,6,7. Sea buckthorn oil reduces C-reactive protein (inammatory marker) within the human body.

The healthy properties of sea buckthorn have been recognized for centuries. This plant has a high content of bioactive compounds, including antioxidants, phytosterols, essential fatty acids, and amino acids, as well as vitamins C, K, and E. It also has a low content of sugar and a wide spectrum of volatiles, which contribute to its unique aroma. Sea buckthorn shows antimicrobial and antiviral properties, and is a potential nutraceutical or cosmeceutical. It was proven to help treat cardiovascular disease, tumors, and diabetes, as well as gastrointestinal and skin problems. The numerous health benefits of sea buckthorn make it a good candidate for incorporation into novel food products.

  • The Impact of Sea Buckthorn Oil Fatty Acids on Human Health Marta Solà Marsiñach1* and Aleix Pellejero Cuenca2
    Solà Marsiñach and Cuenca Lipids in Health and Disease (2019) 18:145 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12944-019-1065-9 REVIEW Open Access The impact of sea buckthorn oil fatty acids on human health Marta Solà Marsiñach1* and Aleix Pellejero Cuenca2 Abstract The beneficial properties of fatty acids have been undervalued for several years. In contraposition, new studies reveal that fatty acids have an essential role for human health. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the clinical applications of fatty acids present in sea buckthorn oil. The composition of fatty acids found in sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) oil is unique for this species, presenting a vast range of health benefits for humans and therefore it is highly valued by both biomedicine and the cosmetic industry. In this way, we will see the clinical effect of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids that constitute sea buckthorn oil and how they contribute to the correct function of the organism. Despite there being studies that support the positive effects of sea buckthorn fatty acids, they are limited. Hence, most of the results obtained in this review are from studies of isolated fatty acids instead of fatty acids extracted from sea buckthorn oil. These facts permit to demonstrate the effect of sea buckthorn fatty acids separately but we lost the possibility of detecting a synergic effect of all of them. More studies are necessary to certify the clinical application of the fatty acids present in sea buckthorn oil as well as discovering possible synergies between them. Keywords: Fatty acids, Sea buckthorn, Omega-3, Omega-6, Clinical applications, Human health, Plant, Omega-7, Hippophae rhamnoides, Omega-9 Introduction As already mentioned, a number of studies have re- For several decades, the beneficial properties of fatty vealed that fatty acids are very diverse, each type of them acids have been largely ignored.

Due to hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, berries have been used as food and medicine. Sea buckthorn (SB) oil derived from berries is a source of valuable ingredients for cosmeceuticals. The unique combination of SB oil ingredients, in qualitative and quantitative aspects, provides multiple benefits of SB oil for internal and external use. Externally, SB oil can be applied in both healthy and damaged skin (burns or skin damage of different etiology), as it has good wound healing properties. Due to the well-balanced content of fatty acids, carotenoids, and vitamins, SB oil may be incorporated in cosmeceuticals for dry, flaky, burned, irritated, or rapidly ageing skin. There have been more than 100 ingredients identified in SB oil, some of which are rare in the plant kingdom (e.g., the ratio of palmitoleic to γ-linolenic acid).

This study presents enzyme-assisted extraction method for oil extraction from Sea Buckthorn berries. Parameters for enzyme-assisted extraction of oil with pectinase were optimized through single-factor. Pectinase dose of 0.5%, extraction time 120 minutes, hydrolysis temperature 55°C were found optimum, and maximum oil yield of 5.0-5.1% was achieved under these conditions, and the recovery of the optimized extraction process was calculated to 95.7–98.0 % based on 5.2% theoretical oil content of Sea Buckthorn berries. This study presents physico-chemical characteristics of pulp oil, extracted from Sea buckthorn berries by enzymatic process. Physico-chemical analysis of pulp oil gave: refractive index (1.470 ), density (0.92 g/cm3), acid value (7.8 mg KOH/g, iodine value (132.0 g J2 /100g), peroxide value (2.0 meq/kg), total carotenoid (325.0 mg/100g), and total tocopherol (220.0 mg/100g), respectively.
