摘要

Improvements introduced in main patent No. 9902552, Ethiopian mustard seed oil with high oleic acid content. The present invention relates to an Ethiopian mustard seed oil (scientific name Brassica carinata A.Braun) lacking erucic acid (less than 0.5% by weight with respect to the total fatty acid content of the oil) and with an oleic acid content between 80% and 90% by weight of the total fatty acids. This type of oil is not produced in nature by Ethiopian mustard plants and has been obtained through a biotechnological procedure. The Ethiopian mustard oil, object of the present invention, is always produced independently of the growing conditions, and the lack of erucic acid and the high oleic acid content of this oil constitute heritable characteristics.
