Resumen

Cultivated cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) has beenrecognised as an energy crop in Mediterranean zones. For energy purposes, the whole aerial biomass produced is harvestedevery year. On the other hand, the cynara seed present interesting oil content (22-29%) and the profile in terms of major fattyacids (10.7% palmitic, 3.7% stearic, 25.0% oleic and 59.7%linoleic), similar to sunflower oil, show the potential of cardoon asoil crop (Curt et al 2002). Cynara oil and common sunflower oilhave been submitted to frying temperature in a domestic fryer.The fatty acids degradation and the aldehydic compounds formation have been assessed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR).1H NMR has showed to be a rapid and effective technique to determine the nutritional composition and the oxidative degradation of oils without any pre-treatment. According to the total oilcontent, the major fatty acids profile and its behaviour againstfrying temperature, cynara oil could be a potential frying edibleoil. AC
