Abstract

AbstractGLA safflower oil is a new commercial source of gamma‐linolenic acid (GLA), an important dietary omega‐6 fatty acid with properties similar and complementary to those of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). In its native form, GLA safflower oil contains 60–70+% GLA. It is one of the first dietary supplements developed using modern biotechnology methods and is the first of a new generation of genetically modified (GM) plant oil ingredients developed solely for improvement of human health and nutrition.
