Fatty Acid Composition of Grape Seed Oil from Native American and Hybrid

Grape Varieties
L. R. Mattick 1 and A. C. Rice 2

1 Department of Food Science and Technology, New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Cornell University, Geneva, New York 14456
2 Taylor Wine Company, Hammondsport, New York 14840.

The grape seed oil concentration of native American and hybrid grapes ranged from 13 to 18.4% with a weighted mean of 14.72%. These concentrations were found to be in the same range as the seed oil content in Vitis vinifera grapes. The predominant fatty acid was linoleic acid, which represented over 71.5% of the fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of the grape seed oil is relatively constant in composition, regardless of species or variety.
