Claim:
A composition of matter comprising a Salvia hispanica L. derived seed oil comprising from 60-88% PUFAs in a ratio of from 3.1:1-3.3:1 of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to linoleic acid (LA), 4-10% of C-18 mono-unsaturated acid, 1-5% of C-18 saturated fatty acid and 4-8% of C-16 saturated fatty acid in a mixed triglyceride form that is stable at room temperature for 12-24 months and comprising a mixture of selected antioxidants, wherein said Salvia hispanica L. derived seed oil is made by subjecting the Salvia hispanica L seed to supercritical fluid CO 2 extraction in the presence of lipophilic and/or hydrophilic antioxidants to produce a seed oil extract; fractionating the resulting seed oil extract in separate pressure step-down stages for collecting light and heavy fractions of seed oil extract; and separating the heavy fraction from the light fraction and any remaining water in the heavy fraction of seed oil extract to form the final seed oil from the heavy fraction.
