- Amaranth oil is extracted from the seeds of two species of the genus Amaranthus — A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus — that are called, collectively, amaranth grain. Amaranth oil is a light-to-medium-colored, clear liquid that is pourable at low temperatures. It is a source of fatty acids, with oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid having the highest proportions. The oil is valued for its ability to add temperature stability at both high and low temperatures. Commercial uses of amaranth oil include foods, cosmetics, shampoos, and intermediates for manufacture of lubricants, pharmaceuticals, rubber chemicals, aromatics, and surface active agents. As a food oil, amaranth oil has a delicate taste. The oil content of the actual amaranth grain ranges from 4.8 to 8.1%, which is relatively low compared to other sources of seed oil. The melting point of amaranth oil is −27 °C (−17 °F). Chemically, the major constituents of amaranth oil are: (en)
- El aceite de amaranto se extrae de las semillas de varias especies del género Amaranthus, como A. cruentus y A. hypochondriacus. Es un aceite comestible de sabor agradable que se mantiene fluido a temperaturas bajas; su punto de fusión es de -27 °C. Se ha estudiado su utilidad como sustituto de otras grasas comestibles para reducir el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, debido a que contiene escualeno que interfiere en la síntesis del colesterol. El rendimiento en aceite de la semilla de amaranto varía de 5 a 8 %, del peso de la semilla, muy bajo si se compara con otras fuentes de aceite. Ello es debido a que el aceite se encuentra sólo en el germen. (es)
