In this paper, fatty acid composition of borage oil, extra virgin oliv
e oil and different mixtures of them have been evaluated through gas-c
hromatographic analysis. The borage oils was extracted by different te
chniques (including supercritical Fluids extraction by CO2) and borage
oil-olive oil mixtures used were 59%, 7.5%, 10%, and 15%. Otherwise t
he oxidation induction times were determined by the Rancimat test. The
purpose of this experimental work was to evaluate the influence of th
e different extraction systems on fatty acid composition and on oxidat
ion induction time, and changing in induction times increasing borage
oil quantity in the mixtures.
