Wheat Germ Oil: The Perfect Beauty Agent

Wheat germ oil is extracted from the wheat kernel, which makes up only 2.5% by weight of the kernel.  It is extracted by cold pressing the germ of the wheat kernel. The wheat germ is pressed with high pressure and the oil so obtained is amber to brown with a dense and nutty flavor with the thick consistency. It comprises lecithin, linoleic or omega-6, palmitic, oleic acid, vitamins A, E, D and linolenic or omega3 fatty acid. Since the oil is so thick in texture, it is blended with other oils such as lavender, sandalwood, orange, etc and then used for an application.



Importance

As an embryo is meant to develop a fetus, the same way germ of the wheat is intended to nourish the entire wheat plant. During the process of bread making, the wheat germ is removed along with the kernel when the grain is ground to white flour. And when the oil spoils quickly, it becomes easier for bread manufacturers to remove it before it loses its quality. The bread that we often eat might not contain the functional elements from the wheat germ, especially in case of white bread.  As a result of which, the benefits of wheat germ might not be utilized from the wheat-based products but from the oil itself.
