Wheat Germ Oil - Refined

Wheat Germ Oil is solvent-extracted from the kernel of Triticum vulgare, yielding an oil that is notably high in Vitamin E and Linoleic Acid content as well as other nutrients and fatty acids. After the extraction process from the wheat germ plant, this oil goes through a thorough refining process to result in a lightly colored liquid with a bland aroma and flavor profile. Refined wheat germ oil is largely used throughout the food manufacturing and culinary industries, an extremely common oil listed on various ingredient labels of products widespread throughout markets and grocery stores. Due to its low smoke point, refined wheat germ oil is most suitable in food preparations that do not involve exposure to deep frying, such as in dressings, marinades, and baked goods. Wheat germ oil is well-known throughout the nutraceutical industry for the manufacturing of supplements and softgels. In the nutritional realm, wheat germ oil is sought after for its Octocosanol content which is a long chain fatty alcohol that has shown benefits in sports and athletic health. The personal-care and cosmetic industry procure wheat germ oil for a wide range of topical products including facial cleansers, soaps, moisturizers, haircare products, serums, among many other beauty products to promote hydration.
