Epidemiological researches have demonstrated that many these possess anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, antitumor, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial, antiviral activities to greater lesser extent. Thus, researchers recently focused on new seed nutraceutical effects. black cumin, sesame, flax, nettle, pomegranate, grape, pumpkin most common oil used alternative folk medicine prevent some chronic diseases also improve immune function. Extraction method is key factor obtain high-quality preserving biologically active Today, much novel, clean, promising techniques extract including higher concentration bio-compounds overcoming limitations conventional extraction methods. This chapter summarizes oils, properties, well novel
