Amaranth oil is predominantly an unsaturated oil (76%) and is high in linoleic acid, which is necessary for human nutrition. Yanez E. with coauthors [37] showed that oil extracted from Amaranthus cruentus contained 19% palmitic acid, 3.4% stearic acid, 34% oleic acid and 33% linoleic acid.
Amaranth oil is extracted from the seeds of two species of the genus Amaranthus A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus that are called, collectively, amaranth grain. Amaranth oil is a light to medium colored, clear liquid that is pourable at low temperatures.[citation needed] It is a source of fatty acids, with oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid having the highest proportions. The oil is valued for its ability to add temperature stability at both high and low temperatures. Commercial uses of amaranth oil include foods, cosmetics, shampoos and intermediates for manufacture of lubricants, pharmaceuticals, rubber chemicals, aromatics and surface active agents.[citation needed] As a food oil, amaranth oil has a delicate taste. The oil content of the actual amaranth grain ranges from 4.8 to 8.1%, which is relatively low compared to other sources of seed oil. The melting point of amaranth oil is -27 C. Chemically, the major constituents of amaranth oil are Fatty acid Content Linoleic acid 50% Oleic acid 23% Palmitic acid 19% Stearic acid 3%

Collectively known as lipids, the main functions of lipids are to: supply and transport fatty acids and vitamins, protect vital body organs, insulate warmth and regulate body temperature, assist growth and promote healthy blood, nerves, muscles and skin, transport and breakdown cholesterol, prolong digestion and enhance absorption and flavour, be a source and store of energy.
