Abstract

Abstract for “Present and Potential Markets for Safflower Oil”: The most important use of safflower oil is in food products, particularly margarine and salad and cooking oils. Future demand may depend upon whether consumers, concerned about the possible effect of saturated fat foods on coronary heart disease, prefer the very high unsaturation that safflower oil contributes to food fat products. The only industrial market for safflower oil is drying oil uses and this market is declining because of competition from synthetic resins, especially in latex paint. Safflower oil has the advantage of contributing non-yellowing properties to oil paints, printing ink, etc. Abstract for “Present and Potential Markets for Safflower Meal”: Regular safflower meal's major use is in dairy and beef cattle feed in the California – Arizona area where produced. Partially hulled safflower meal is preferred over cottonseed meal for use in laying rations and also finds use in other poultry rations. Future safflower meal demand will have modest growth because of the fewer feeding restrictions it has compared to nonprotein nitrogen and the technological advantages of partially hulled safflower meal over cottonseed meal. Additional markets for safflower hulls need to be developed.
