Safflower oil, with the CAS number 8001-23-8, is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius). It is primarily composed of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid, and oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid. This oil is characterized by its light color and mild flavor, making it a popular choice in culinary applications, especially for salad dressings and frying. Safflower oil has a high smoke point, which enhances its suitability for high-temperature cooking. Additionally, it is known for its potential health benefits, including promoting heart health due to its high unsaturated fat content. Safflower oil is also used in cosmetics and skincare products due to its emollient properties. It is generally considered safe for consumption and is free from trans fats, making it a favorable option in health-conscious diets. However, as with all oils, moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet.
