This article presents the results of qualitative indicators of cedar oils obtained in two different ways from seeds of Siberian pine nuts growing in the eastern region of the country.Cedar oil is a real natural storehouse of nutrients. It includes proteins, carbohydrates, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, phosphatides, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 (PP), E, D, lecithin, essential oils and minerals.Prior to this, studies were conducted on seeds and cake of pine nuts. In the East Kazakhstan region there is a forest covering a large area where Siberian pine nuts grow. However, despite the fact that local pine nuts are natural reserves, the nutritional value of cedar products has not yet been fully studied. To this end, studies were conducted on the yield, organoleptic parameters and fatty acid composition of cedar oil obtained by two different methods.As a result of the study, the yield of cedar oil obtained by thermal extraction was higher than the yield of cedar oil obtained by cold pressing. The content of unsaturated fatty acids in cedar oil obtained by cold pressing showed high rates. The results of the presented study showed that cedar oil obtained from the seeds of Siberian pine nuts growing in our country is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids necessary for the human body.
