Summary
California Valencia orange seeds contain a fairly high percentage of oil, the recovery of which by conventional methods of pressing appears to present no unusual problems. When refined, bleached, and deodorized the oil would be quite acceptable as a food oil. It contains a very small proportion of linolenic acid but is otherwise similar to other seed oils of like iodine value.
