The edible red pepper seed oil which not only abound in unsaturated fatty acid but also suit to Korean`s eating habits and palate was explored. Redpepper seed oil was fractionated to neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids, and each fraction was subjected to silicic acid column chromatography. The contents of neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids in the crude oil were 93.5%, 2.6% and trace, respectively, and the refined oil gave a trace amount of glycolipids and phospholipids. Unsaturated fatty acids in the crude oil were linoleic acid(69.9%), linolenic acid (1.8%). Saturated fatty acid, particulary palmitic acid was abundant in the glycolipid-and phospholipid-fractions of crude oil.
