Abstract

One of the main sources of biological active components in the diet are the vegetable fats . In Russia, the most popular is the sunflower (vysokolinolevoe) vegetable oil . It has a number of technological shortcomings associated with features of the fatty acid composition . And there are varieties of sunflower hybrids with altered fatty acid composition of the oil. Areas under high oleic sunflower increase year by year . High oleic acid sunflower oil consumption and improves its processing properties . Existing methods to control the content of oleic acid in seed oil and sunflower have significant drawbacks . The result is that sharply raises the question of the development of rapid methods of monitoring the content of oleic acid.
