Cannabis plants could be the source of future biofuels and cooking oils

 Oil from the new line was almost 80 per cent oleic acid, compared with typical values of less than 10 per cent in the standard hemp line. This high mono-unsaturated/low poly-unsaturated fatty acid profile increases the oil’s thermal stability and oil from the new line was shown to have around five times the stability of standard hemp oil.

This not only makes the oil more valuable as a cooking oil but also increases its usefulness for high temperature industrial processes.
