| Industry | Application | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Food Industry | As a nutritional supplement and food additive | Borage oil—extracted from borage seeds via cold pressing or solvent extraction—is rich in γ-linolenic acid (GLA) and is used in the production of health foods and functional foods. |
| Cosmetics Industry | For manufacturing skincare products | Due to its high GLA content, borage oil provides moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties and is incorporated into formulations for creams, body lotions, and other skincare products. |
| Pharmaceutical Industry | For drug and dietary supplement manufacturing | As a key ω-6 fatty acid, GLA from borage oil serves as a raw material in pharmaceutical manufacturing for drugs and dietary supplements supporting immune system regulation. |
| Detection Item | Common Analytical Method | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Acid Value | Acid-Base Titration | Neutralization of free fatty acids with standardized KOH solution using phenolphthalein indicator. |
| Peroxide Value | Iodometric Titration | Oxidation of potassium iodide by peroxides to liberate iodine, titrated with sodium thiosulfate. |
| Iodine Value | Wijs Method | Addition of excess Wijs reagent (ICl in glacial acetic acid) to double bonds, followed by iodometric back-titration. |
| Saponification Value | Acid-Base Titration | Hydrolysis of esters with excess KOH, followed by titration of unreacted alkali with HCl. |
| Refractive Index | Refractometry | Measurement of light bending angle at oil-air interface using calibrated refractometer at 20 C. |
| Specific Gravity | Pycnometry | Mass-to-volume ratio determined by weighing a known volume of oil in a calibrated pycnometer. |
| Color (Lovibond) | Lovibond Tintometer | Visual comparison of oil color against standardized red/yellow glass discs under controlled lighting. |
| Moisture Content | Karl Fischer Titration | Electrochemical reaction of water with iodine and sulfur dioxide in pyridine/methanol medium. |
| Unsaponifiable Matter | Solvent Extraction and Gravimetry | Extraction of non-saponifiable lipids with diethyl ether after alkaline hydrolysis, followed by solvent evaporation and weighing. |
| Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg) | ICP-MS | Ionization of sample in plasma, mass separation, and quantification of elemental isotopes by mass spectrometry. |
| Residual Solvents (e.g., hexane) | Gas Chromatography (GC-FID) | Separation of volatile solvents on capillary column, detection and quantification via flame ionization. |
| Fatty Acid Profile | Gas Chromatography (GC-FID) | Methylation of fatty acids followed by separation on polar capillary column and quantification via FID response. |
