Characteristic of Echinops species is the formation of a quinoline alkaloid (echinorin), which is present in the fruits in contents of 2.0 to 2.3%. The oil is dominated by linoleic acid and is similar to safflower oil in the fatty acid spectrum. Echinops sphaerocephalus seed oil is rich in tocopherol and thus has a high content of free radical scavengers. Also significant is the absence of reactive linolenic acid in the fatty acid spectrum, which, in addition to the high content of tocopherol, has a very favorable effect on the shelf life of the oil and derived products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total tocopherol content: 65-100 mg\/100 g of which approx. 96 % alpha-tocopherol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Active ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Palmitic acid 4-5 %<br>&#8211; Stearic acid 2 &#8211; 3 %<br>&#8211; Oleic acid 15-20 %<br>&#8211; Linoleic acid 70 &#8211; 80 %<br>&#8211; Linolenic acid &lt;0.1 &#8211; 0.2 %<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Effect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protection of the cell membrane against free radicals.
