A method for obtaining an oil that is rich in hydroxyoctadecadienoic fatty acids (HODE) or esters thereof is described; according to the method of the invention, the controlled oxidation of linoleic acid and / or linolenic acid or esters thereof is carried out in the presence of an oxidation catalyst; The oxidation is terminated when the HODE content or the total ester content is greater than 5% and / or the 9-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HODE) isomer or the ester content is greater than 1.5 % and reduction occurs for hydroperoxides formed during the oxidation reaction by means of a reducer; The invention can be used as a medicament, food supplement or cosmetic supplement. |
