This study presents a systematic meta-analysis of the chemical profiles of high-value seed oils derived from flax, sunflower, and chia seeds. Utilizing data synthesized from recent peer-reviewed literature (2021-2025) via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), we compare how different extraction techniques impact the concentration of fatty acids. Our findings highlight that while sunflower oil is best suited for biofuel due to its moderate saturation, chia and flax oils offer superior nutritional value due to their high Omega-3 content.
