Acer Truncatum Bunge Seed Oil

Acer truncatum Seed Oil is derived from the seeds of Acer truncatum Bunge by cold expression and filtration. Native to northern China, Acer truncatum has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Its seeds, rich in unique bioactive compounds, are now valued for their oil, which is primarily produced in China and South Korea. In accordance with the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and the Administrative Measures for New Resource Foods, China’s Ministry of Health officially approved Acer truncatum Seed Oil as a new resource food via Announcement No. 9 of 2011.

Acer truncatum seed oil is notable for its high content of nervonic acid, a 24-carbon fatty acid with one double bond, critical for nerve cell myelination and brain health. Nervonic acid is rare in plants, found in trace amounts in Lunaria and certain fish oils, but Acer truncatum oil contains 3.0-6.5% nervonic acid—uniquely high among plant sources. Modern research highlights its potential for supporting cognitive function and neuroprotection.
