Hello Abdullah black seed oil is a really good oil. The product you intend to use is also an oil that oxidizes very quickly. It should be used immediately after the seed oil is removed. Before using black seed oil, you can minimize oxidation by blending it with maltodextrin and bonding it. Try using it in the biscuit dough after this process. This will prevent the repellent odor caused by peroxide degradation. If you want more details, you can reach at argemeyna@hotmail.com.
