The same non-hydroxylated fatty acids were the major components in both types of extract, but total levels were less in pomace (75 582 mg 100 g1 oil) than in seed alone (90 972 mg 100 g1 oil) and there were less unsaturated fatty acids, including GLA (8653 and 12 625 mg 100 g1 oil, respectively), but long chain n-20:0 – n-30:0 fatty acids (4080 and 437 mg 100 g1 oil, respectively) were greatly increased in pomace. Phytosterols (mainly b-sitosterol), saturated n-20:0 – n-30:0 policosanols, v-hydroxy fatty acids (mainly 16-hydroxy 16:0) and 2-hydroxy fatty acids (mainly 2-hydroxy 24:0) were present at much greater levels in pomace (2496, 2097, 958 and 46 mg 100 g1 oil, respectively) than in seed (553, 108, 161, and 1 mg 100 g1 oil, respectively). The pomace extract is a useful source of fatty acids, phytosterols and policosanols with potential functional properties. Practical applications: The study investigated the lipophilic components in isohexane extra
