“…In hemp seed, the amount of oil is between 28 and 35 g/100 g [4][5][6], depending on the variety, the year of cultivation, the climatic conditions and the location. The oil content is a little bit lower than in rapeseeds with an oil content of about 45 g/ 100 g, which has been deeply improved by breeding research over decades of years, but it is higher than in soybeans with an oil content of about 20 g/100 g.…”

“…Hemp seed oil is unusually high in unsaturated fatty acids and the predominant fatty acids are linoleic acid and a-linolenic acid, which amount to up to 80 g/100 g of the total fatty acids [6][7][8][9]. Figure 1 shows the average variation of the fatty acid composition of the hemp seed varieties given in Table 1.…”

“…Both fatty acids act in the human body as precursors for the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids and of eicosanoids. In the literature, the amount of g-linolenic acid is described as in the range from 0.34 to 6.8 g/100 g, depending on the variety, the growing conditions and the field site [6][7][8]. Higher amounts of this fatty acid are synthesised in evening primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa) (8.5 g/100 g) and borage (Borago officinalis) (16.3 and 20.5 g/100 g, respectively) [10,11].…”

“…The occurrence of stearidonic acid is limited to a few plant families. Mölleken and Theimer [7] and Callaway et al [12] found stearidonic acid in hemp seed oil in amounts up to 2.5 g/100 g, while Matthäus et al [6] specified the amount of stearidonic acid between 0.4 and 1.5 g/100 g in 2000 and 0.5 Table 1). The fatty acid composition was determined according to DGF method C-VI 10a (00) [39].…”

Virgin hemp seed oil is not widespread on the market, although it is characterised by an interesting fatty acid composition with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Linoleic acid is the predominant fatty acid, which comes, together with α‐linolenic acid (18:3n‐3), to approximately 80% of the total fatty acids. From a nutritional point of view, up to 7% γ‐linolenic acid (18:3n‐6) and 2.5% stearidonic acid (18:4n‐3) are very interesting. The total amount of tocopherols is high between 80 and 110 mg/100 g, with γ‐tocopherol as the main tocopherol (85%). Due to the high amount of unsaturated fatty acids, hemp seed oil is very susceptible to oxidative deterioration, which results in a fast impairment of the oil during storage. In addition, the high amounts of chlorophyll in the oil due to harvesting of high amounts of immature seeds require light protection, which is often neglected because of merchandising purposes. The virgin oil is characterised by a nutty taste with a slightly bitter aftertaste. The use of virgin hemp seed oil is recommended during mild processing of food without heat.

The influence of growing conditions in North Dakota on grain yield and seed composition was evaluated for industrial hemp varieties (Cannabis sativa L.) grown in North Dakota, USA. Average grain yield across varieties was 2138 kg ha −1 . Crude protein content of undehulled industrial hemp flour from 10 varieties ranged from 32.7% to 35.9%; and oil content ranged from 24.3% to 28.1%. All industrial hemp flours were excellent natural sources of iron (46.7%), manganese (169.1%), copper (29.0%), zinc (28.2%), phosphorus (41.0%), and magnesium (33.7%) on a per serving basis (30 g per serving) for percent recommended daily intake (% RDI). Oils from most of the varieties differed significantly for the fatty acid (FA) profile. The n6/n3 ratio ranged from 3.2 to 5.1. Principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that CFX-2 and CRS-1 grew well in North Dakota based on grain yield, flour, and oil quality. In this study, the chemical composition of flour was not influenced by crop year; but crop year did effect the nutritional mineral composition. These results may have important implications for the use of industrial hemp in food applications.
