Description Kainth fruit, as traditional medicine, has been used in the Himalayan region for its health-promoting properties.
However, the phytochemicals and lipidomes of Kainth Seed Oil (KSO) are still scarce. Here, we investigated the
physicochemical characterization of KSO and its nutraceuticals, antioxidant potentials. Kainth seeds contain
19–20% oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA, 82.22%), particularly linoleic acid (C18:2). Lipidome
analysis of KSO using high-resolution mass spectrometry showed that trilinoleate (C54:6) was the dominant
triacylglycerol (TAG) species. Further, the characteristics of PUFA-rich oil were validated by Fourier transforms
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC). The nutraceuticals profiling of KSO
depicted the presence of tocopherols (86.72 mg) and phytosterols (32.25 mg) in 100 g oil with significant
antioxidant activity. The oil cake contained 19.09% protein and minerals and can be a source for dietary protein.
Collectively these results suggest that KSO will be a suitable source for PUFA and nutraceuticals potential.
