Throughout the centuries-old history of its existence, mustard is a well-known spice in many countries, not only because of its excellent taste, but also because of its amazing medicinal properties. Bearing in the ancient Indian language the name "destroying leprosy", "warming", mustard already in the first millennia of our era was widely used in the folk medicine of Ancient Greece and Rome (the first mention of the miraculous properties of wild mustard dates back to the 1st century BC .)

Eastern China is considered to be the homeland of gray (Sarepta) mustard, from which this spice first came to India, and then from there it "migrated" to other countries of Asia and southern Europe. In Russia, gray mustard first appeared as a weed, accidentally brought to the Lower Volga region from Asian countries along with imported millet and flax.

Back in the 8th century, mustard oil, produced from the seeds of the best varieties of mustard, was supplied from England to the table of Catherine II, and was one of the favorite imperial delicacies. It was precisely in connection with this special gourmand addiction of the Empress that soon (at the end of the 18th - the beginning of the 19th century) more than 250 years of history of the cultivation of gray mustard and industrial production of mustard oil from its seeds began in Russia.

In 1765, by order of Catherine II in the south of the Saratov province, the settlement of Sarepta was founded - a colony of German settlers invited by the empress for intensive agricultural development of the Volga steppes. One of the inhabitants of this German colony, Konrad Neitz, as a result of many years of selection experiments, managed to bring out a special variety of gray mustard, distinguished by excellent taste. This variety, first obtained by the German doctor Neitz from the settlement of Sarepta, subsequently received the name that has survived to our times - "Sarepta mustard". And in 1801, Konrad Neitz first made a spicy mustard seasoning and mustard oil at a hand mill from the seeds of "Sarepta mustard", the original and unique taste of which was already appreciated by Emperor Alexander in 1810. It is in 1810, when the manual production of mustard oil was first technically improved and put on an industrial basis, that is traditionally considered the beginning of the history of industrial production of mustard oil in Russia. And "Sarepta mustard", successfully grown today in Russia mainly for export abroad, is still considered the best variety of mustard for the production of mustard oil in the world.

Mustard oil is successfully and variedly used in cooking, home cosmetologists, and folk medicine.... This mustard seed processing product is also widely used in the canning industry, bakery and confectionery industries, in the industrial production of solid edible fats, lubricants and cooling liquids, glycerin, fatty acids, and cosmetic creams. Mustard oil is also a part of various medicinal preparations (the cake remaining as a result of the production of mustard oil is used to make mustard powder used in the production of mustard plasters). And besides, mustard oil is in a number of countries a very popular remedy for relaxing massage needed by athletes after intense training.

The use of mustard oil in cooking

Considerably superior in dietary properties, taste and aromatic qualities to the sunflower oil so popular among Russians, mustard oil is currently not a fairly widespread food product in Russia (this is mainly due to the fact that most of the mustard oil produced in Russia is exported to other country).

The French, who appreciated the piquant taste and original aroma of mustard oil, have long found various culinary uses for this most useful product. In French cuisine, mustard oil, both in pure form and in combination with other vegetable oils, is added to various salads, soups, and is used to make homemade baked goods.

In Asian countries, mustard oil has long been used for stewing vegetables, preparing various meat and fish dishes (after all, this oil does not add bitterness, does not "smoke" when heated, but only gently and piquantly emphasizes the natural taste of the ingredients of a culinary dish).

Mustard oil goes well with herbs and fresh vegetables, which are part of all kinds of summer and spring salads, as well as adds sophistication to vinaigrette, porridge, cereal garnish.

Homemade baked goods made from dough with the addition of mustard oil, acquires pomp, pleasant aroma and golden hue, does not lend itself to staling for a long time.

Pancakes, fritters, potatoes or fish fried in mustard oil, acquire a particularly pleasant, unique taste.

It should be noted that the mustard oil obtained by cold pressing (at 40-50 degrees) not only fully retains in its composition the entire set of substances most useful for the human body, but also has, unlike other vegetable oils, significant resistance to oxidation, which causes a long period storage of this herbal product (the shelf life of mustard oil can be up to 12 months). Due to the slow oxidation of mustard oil, it is often added to other vegetable oils to increase their shelf life.

Possessing powerful bactericidal properties, mustard oil is also an indispensable home preservative.

Mustard oil composition

Mustard oil, which is a valuable edible vegetable oil, has a high content of biologically active substances necessary for the human body every day (vitamins (E, A, D, B3, B6, B4, K, P), polyunsaturated fatty acids (vitamin F), phytosterols, chlorophyll , phytoncides, glycosides, essential mustard oil, etc.).

Mustard oil contains a significant amount of linoleic acid(belonging to the Omega-6 group) and linolenic acid, which is similar in its effect on the human body to the polyunsaturated acids Omega-3 contained in flaxseed oil or fish oil. When combined, these two essential fatty acids contribute to:

  • Well-coordinated work of the cardiovascular system (prevent the development of atherosclerosis, preventing the deposition of cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity and increase the elasticity of blood vessels)
  • normalization of fat metabolism, improvement of the function of the digestive system
  • maintaining normal hormonal balance, improving the functions of the reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems
  • strengthening immunity
  • neutralization of the harmful effects on the human body of toxins, slags, radionuclides, salts of heavy metals

Mustard oil contains the antioxidant vitamin A, which greatly contributes to the strengthening of the immune system and the full development of the human body, and also has a beneficial effect on the state of the organs of vision, improves the functions of the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes.

Of the fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin E also occupies an important place in mustard oil (in terms of its content, mustard oil is several times higher than sunflower oil). Possessing immuno-strengthening, anti-inflammatory, wound healing and rejuvenating properties, vitamin E helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels, normalizes blood clotting (thereby preventing the formation of blood clots), helps to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and capillaries, protects the heart from the consequences associated with a deficiency of magnesium and oxygen.

Vitamin B6 plays an important role in various metabolic processes (fat, carbohydrate, protein, water-salt metabolism), regulates cholesterol and blood sugar, participates in the formation of hemoglobin, improves the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system (vitamin B6 is a natural depressant). And besides, this component of mustard oil, often called the "female" vitamin, helps to maintain normal hormonal balance and has a beneficial effect on the female reproductive system.

This component of mustard oil not only has a beneficial effect on the state of the nervous system and improves the mental abilities of a person, but also participates in the synthesis of phospholipids by the body - substances that prevent fatty liver infiltration.

The composition of mustard oil is also characterized by a high content of biologically active substances of phytosterols ("plant hormones"). Phytosterols have bactericidal and antitumor properties, help to reduce the level of "harmful" cholesterol in the blood, and improve the condition of the skin. In official medicine, "plant hormones" are often used as part of the complex treatment of diseases of the prostate gland, oncological, endocrine, and cardiovascular diseases.

Mustard oil also contains a large amount of phytoncides, chlorophylls, isothiocyanates, synegrin, essential mustard oil - substances with powerful bactericidal and antitumor properties. In a complex combination, these components of mustard oil are the best way to improve the functions of the cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine systems, and the respiratory systems of the human body.

Mustard oil is not the rarest, but also not the most popular among vegetable oils. It has a very spicy taste, and its taste depends on the variety of mustard, from the seeds of which the product is obtained. It is for its taste that gourmets appreciate it, many cooks add it to exquisite dishes, while not knowing that mustard oil is also very useful.

Mustard oil is obtained by cold pressing mustard seeds, which, depending on the variety, contain from 35 to 50% oil. As a result of pressing the seeds of black mustard, a light yellow oil is obtained with a rich mustard smell and taste. Even in ancient Europe, it was widely used not only for food purposes, but also for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. From the seeds of white mustard, an oil of a more intense yellow color with a pungent burning taste is squeezed out. Due to its medicinal properties, this variety of mustard oil was used more in Eastern countries (China, India, etc.).

In our country, mustard oil appeared at the end of the 18th century, when the cultivation of the mustard variety called Sarepta began. It is believed that the oil obtained from this particular plant variety is the most aromatic and tasty, therefore it gained the greatest popularity in cooking, it is used for baking, making confectionery, preservation and as an additive to many dishes.

You should not consume large quantities of mustard oil; to saturate the body with useful substances, it is quite enough to add 1–1.5 tablespoons of the product to food daily or several times a week. Like other vegetable oils, it is high in calories, so obese people should consider this when planning their diet.

Many people consider mustard oil to be unhealthy due to its erucic acid content. This substance accumulates in the body, causing various disturbances in the work of the cardiovascular, nervous and other systems. However, at present, varieties of mustard have been developed, in which the content of erucic acid does not exceed 1–2% (in Russia, the content of this acid in vegetable oils is up to 5%). The oil obtained from the seeds of such mustard varieties (for example, Sarepta) is harmless to the body.

Storing mustard oil

Mustard oil has another unique property. It has a long shelf life, in a closed dark glass container it can be stored for 2 years or even more, while it does not lose its taste and medicinal properties. Because of this, it is often added to other vegetable oils to increase their shelf life.

Supermarket program about the history and benefits of mustard oil:


Update: December 2018

Vegetable mustard oil is a popular pressing or extraction method from mustard seeds. It is a readily available and inexpensive source of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, has a number of beneficial effects and helps in the treatment of certain diseases. Recommended as a biologically active food supplement.

In folk medicine, oil has long been used to treat colds, rheumatism, joint diseases, pleurisy, urolithiasis, helminthic invasion. It is considered one of the best remedies for strengthening and treating hair.

In addition, the oil is actively used in cooking, soap making, perfumery industries, as well as for technical purposes: for lubricating mechanisms and motors operating at low temperatures.

Popularization of the product

The useful properties and contraindications of mustard oil have been studied for a very long time. Already in the VIII century, this unique product brought from Great Britain was present on the table of Catherine II: it was obtained from the best varieties of the plant, and this delicacy was a favorite of the empress. At the end of the 17th century, blue mustard was grown in Russia, from which the valuable oil was obtained.

In 1765, Catherine II issued a decree, according to which the settlement of Sarepta was founded in the south of the Saratov province, where immigrants from Germany lived, developing the lands of the Volga region. Konrad Neitz, one of the residents, experimentally developed a plant variety with excellent taste - Sarepta mustard. Already in 1801, with the help of a hand mill, he obtained the first mustard oil, the taste of which, after a while, was appreciated by the Emperor Alexander. In 1810, the product began to be produced on an industrial scale.

Today, three types of mustard are most common: white, black and Sarapetian (gray). White has a delicate, piquant taste; black is more astringent and sharp. Gray mustard is the most familiar to Russians - table mustard is obtained from its seeds.

The chemical composition of mustard oil

100 ml of oil contains 898 kcal, 99.8 g of fat and 0.2 g. water.

The oil contains many active substances: vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytoncides, phytosterols, chlorophyll, glycosides. The product also contains up to 12% saturated fat. The percentage composition may vary depending on the variety of mustard, here are the average values:

  • Polyunsaturated (8-12% linolenic (Omega-3), 14-32% linoleic (Omega-6) and monounsaturated Omega-9 fatty acids (22-30% oleic, up to 5-42% erucic) in combination:
    • stabilize the work of blood vessels and heart;
    • prevent the deposition of cholesterol plaques in blood vessels;
    • improve the elasticity of the vascular walls and reduce blood viscosity;
    • normalize fat metabolism;
    • improve the work of the digestive tract;
    • help to remove toxins, radionuclides, heavy metal salts;
    • maintain hormonal balance;
    • normalize the work of the endocrine, nervous and reproductive systems;
    • stimulate brain function, improve vision, memory and hearing;
    • prevent the development of oncology;
    • strengthen the immune system.
  • Vitamin A improves the protective functions of the body, vision, the function of the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes.
  • Vitamins E, the amount of which exceeds the content of tocopherols in sunflower oil, has antioxidant, immuno-strengthening, rejuvenating and regenerating properties.
  • Vitamin D is involved in maintaining the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, macronutrients essential for strong and healthy bones.
  • Vitamin B6 takes part in all metabolic processes, normalizes the functioning of the nervous and genitourinary systems, and has a calming effect on the central nervous system.
  • Vitamin B3 participates in energy metabolism, is indispensable for the proper functioning of the digestive and nervous systems.
  • Choline (B4) has a beneficial effect on the state of the nervous system, takes part in the synthesis of steroid hormones, is part of the phospholipids of cell membranes, stimulates immunity and prevents inflammatory processes in the prostate.
  • Sinigrin glycoside. Natural antibiotic with wound healing, analgesic, immunostimulating, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antiseptic, anthelmintic effects.
  • Phytosterols. Normalize the work of the human endocrine system, in particular. They have an antitumor effect.
  • Essential oil. Possesses the strongest bactericidal effect.
  • Minerals - magnesium, sulfur, iron, sodium, potassium, calcium, involved in the metabolism.

In the 70s of the last century, it was discovered that oil has not only benefits, but also possible harm. The high content of erucic acid in the product not only impairs the nutritional properties, but can also cause diseases of the cardiovascular and digestive systems, in particular, fatty infiltration of heart tissues, cirrhosis of the liver (this has been proven in animal experiments). Acid is not utilized by the enzyme system of mammals, which, roughly speaking, includes humans. Therefore, low-erucous and non-erucous plant varieties were bred.

At the moment, in Russia, the countries of the European Union, it is controlled for the content of erucic acid in oil. According to GOST 8807-94, for a product that is directly used for food, the acid content should not exceed 5%, and for oil that is used for cooking products - no more than 32% acid. But in view of the huge number of manufacturers who want to make money on "medicinal" oil, it is possible that the product you bought is made from cheap mustard varieties and is rich in dangerous fatty acid. It is clear that no one checks every bottle of oil for compliance with GOST. Erucic acid is also found in large quantities in rapeseed and rapeseed oils.

New plant varieties allow to obtain oil with 0.0% erucic acid content, high (up to 46%) content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, up to 45% monounsaturated fatty acids and only 4% saturated fatty acids.

Mustard oil, along with flaxseed oil, is equated to the best natural products for maintaining heart health, preventing coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and their dangerous complications - heart attack, stroke, thrombosis. The product is a unique source of essential fatty acids, which are not produced by the body and come only from the outside. Unfortunately, it is impossible to guarantee that mustard oil does not contain dangerous concentrations of erucic acid.

Production technology

  • At the first stage, the seeds are mechanically cleaned of impurities and bad kernels in special machines.
  • At the second stage, the seeds are cold pressed in oil mills, as a result of which about 65% of the concentrate is extracted. It is a healthy, raw, unrefined mustard oil that has the richest composition.
  • At large enterprises, the production of mustard oil is carried out using the technology of double temperature pressing, the product yield increases to 90%. Primary seed treatment is carried out in a forepress, and the final pressing - in expellers. After processing, about 5% oil remains in the cake.
  • The third stage is extraction: the oil concentrate is dissolved in organic acids (nefras and extraction gasoline). After processing through the membrane of plant cells, the oil is removed to the outside.
  • The final stage is purification, which includes several technological operations: distillation, deodorization, freezing, alkaline refining, hydration, bleaching. The output is a refined concentrate of high purity, odorless, tasteless, colorless and, alas, useful substances.

To obtain unrefined oil, the seed extract is only distilled to distill off the solvent. It is a living, organic product of great biological value - it contains useful fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamins, flavoring and aromatic substances.
