-----------

Good shelf life of 6 months to a year longer if refrigerated and even longer if frozen. Kobashi sensitive Carrier oils are refrigerated and frozen after we purchase.

If applying near eyes as with any vegetable, nut or seed oil it is best to start the dilution at 5% in another carrier such as Kobashi Aloevera gel, Kobashi Lotion or Kobashi Coconut MCT. Do not put on top eye lid as this may run into eyes. Other parts of the body you should be able to use at 100% unless you are sensitive. Although, this is pure Cherry seed oil and I eat it, we do not sell for consumption. Eat at your own risk.

Characterization of White Mahlab (Prunus mahaleb L.) Seed Oil: A Rich Source of a-Eleostearic Acid Hassen Mohamed Sbihi*, Imededdine Arbi Nehdi andSaud Ibrahim Al-Resayes Keywords: a-eleostearic acid;1H-NMR;physicochemical properties;Prunus mahaleb L;tocopherols;thermal analysis Abstract

Seed oils with high polyunsaturated fatty acid content are used in various industries including the food and pharmaceutical industries. White mahlab (Prunus mahaleb L.) seed was found to contain 31% oil. The oil was highly polyunsaturated and abundant in a-eleostearic (38.32%), oleic (31.29%), and linoleic (22.96%) acids, which together comprised 93.91% of the total fatty acids. The a-eleostearic acid was identified and characterized based on 1H-NMR, UV, and FTIR spectroscopy. The oil was characterized by a relatively high quantity of tocopherols with ?-tocopherol as the major tocopherol isomer. The physicochemical characteristics of the white mahlab seed and seed oil were also determined. The thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the oil was thermally stable up to 350 °C and began to decompose at 520 °C. This study demonstrated that these seeds may be reused and their oil incorporated into other food products, a beneficial practice considering that the compounds present in the seeds and oils have positive effects on human health.

Practical Application In this study, mahlab seed oil was found to have potentials to become a new edible oil source as it contained a high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids especially, a-eleostearic acid, which is a conjugated fatty acid rarely found in vegetable oils and has a beneficial effects on human health.

"Cherry seed oil, from the Rosaceae family, prunoid subfamily, is characterized by the existence of about 10% alpha-eleostearic acid. Eleostearic acid was not found in the seeds of previously studied prunoids plum peach, apricot). The main fatty acids found in the seeds of cherry and other prunoids were linoleic (L), oleic (O) and palmitic acids, and the major triacylglycerols were LLO, LOO and OOO. These chemical data support the botanical relationship within the prunoid subfamily and show the proximity of cherry to the Chrysobalanaceae family." https://www.springerlink.com/content/91438046l44650m2/ https://resources.metapress.com/pdf-preview.axd?code=u61k00j732624420&size=largest

Oil characteristics of sweet and sour cherry kernels F. Farrohi, M. Mehran Abstract

Oil content and oil characteristics of sweet and sour cherry kernels from 8 Iranian cultivars were examined. The ranges of values were: 20.5-37.9% for the oil content of the kernels; 0.77-1.19% for unsaponfiable matter; 188.2-191.5 for saponification value; 123.1-127.8 for iodine value (Hanus); and 1.4692-1.4721 for refractive index at 40 C. As to fatty acid composition of the samples, traces of myristic, 6.7-9.9% palmitic, 0.9-4.2% stearic, 0.3-1.1% arachidic, 0.3-0.7% palmitoleic, 38.6-53.2% oleic, 33.9-51.9% linoleic, and 0.2-0.8% linolenic acids were determined by gas chromatographic analysis.

All oils should be kept out of eyes. Do not put on top eye lid as this may run into eyes. You should be able to use at 100% unless you are sensitive.
