  • How is walnut oil extracted?
  • Walnut oil can be extracted using traditional as well as new and green technologies. It is low in saturated fatty acids and high in unsaturated fatty acids (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids) as well as being high in other vital nutrients (e.g., selenium, phosphorus, and zinc).
  • What is walnut oil based on?
  • Huaying Song and Zhufeng Cong contributed equally to this work. Walnut oil is extracted from walnut kernels ( Juglans regia Linne) or iron walnut kernels ( Juhlans sigillata Dode). The percentage of oil in walnuts is 52%–70%. The main constituents in oil are fatty acids, phenols, sterols, squalene, melatonin, vitamins, and minerals.
  • Is walnut oil healthy?
  • Walnut oil is extremely nutrient dense. It has plenty of oil and is high in fatty acids, which have positive biological properties and have a favorable impact on blood lipids and lipoproteins. Walnut oil is low in saturated fatty acids and high in unsaturated fatty acids as well as being high in other vital nutrients.
  • Is walnut oil high in fatty acids?
  • It is low in saturated fatty acids and high in unsaturated fatty acids (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids) as well as being high in other vital nutrients (e.g., selenium, phosphorus, and zinc). Walnut oil can be extracted using traditional as well as new and green technologies.
  • How is walnut oil different from other tree nut oils?
  • Walnut oil is different from other tree nut oils for its high content of linoleic acid (49–63%). It also has a considerable amount of α-linolenic acid (8–15.5%) and a high content of phenolics and antioxidants (Savage et al., 1999 ). The tocopherol content of walnut oil ranges from 268 mg/kg to 436 mg/kg.
  • Can walnuts be used as a plant based product?
  • Progress in research on the application of walnuts as a plant-based has been advanced, solving the problem of wasted resources and environmental pollution caused by the fact that walnut residue, a product of walnuts after oil extraction, is often thrown away as waste, or becomes animal feed or compost.
