Abstract

This article describes the relevance and importance of the production of promising oilseeds, including safflower oil, which is one of the main directions for the development of the agro-industrial industry in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the usefulness of safflower oil with the results of scientific research and increase its popularity among manufacturers and consumers. The results of the study revealed the benefits of safflower oil for human health, and also described the benefits of growing safflower for the country's economy. Qualitative indicators of safflower oil are based on modern physico-chemical and analytical research methods. According to the results of the study, it was found that safflower oil contains α-tocopherols and phylloquinones, omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids in the amount of 74.82% and many minerals. It is reported about the therapeutic and preventive effects on the human body of fatty acids and vitamins contained in safflower oil. The data and research results presented in the article can become the basis for future scientific work and help in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Currently, due to the growth of safflower cultivation areas in Kazakhstan, the prospects for the efficiency of consumption and exportation of safflower are shown not as a raw material, but as a product with full medicinal properties.
