鸵鸟油在国际上被誉为“液 体 黄 金”。非洲鸵鸟是世界上最大的鸟类，奔跑时速可达70公里，但是它们没有肌肉拉伤，没有挫伤，在极端的环境下没有风湿病和关节炎。据中国畜牧兽医杂志第33卷第5期题目为《鸵鸟油的化学成分分析及利用》的文章中介绍“鸵鸟油在国上被称为“液 体 黄 金"，浅黄色油状物 ，凝固时呈乳白色膏状，凝固点低，稳定性好，滋润性优，保湿性和渗透性强等特点，是医药、化妆品、化工及食品等行业的优质原料。”
鸵鸟油的组成最显著地特点是烷烃类和醛类成分具有系列性,烷烃类是从正二十烷到正三 十三烷，醛类是从壬醛到二十六醛 ，这些系列的化合物是非极性的小分子，因此决定了鸵鸟油具有很强的渗透性，使它在修复细胞、舒展筋骨、止痛、消炎等方面具有明显的作用 。 鸵鸟油按成分分为烷烃类，占0.04%；醛类，占0.22% ；酮类，占0．98% ；鸵鸟油 的组成 最显著地特点是烷烃类和醛类成分具有系列性，烷烃类是从正二十烷到正三十三烷 ，醛类是从壬醛到二十六醛，这些系列的化合物是非极性的小分子，因此决定了鸵鸟油具有很强的渗 透性，使它在修复细胞、舒展筋骨、止痛、消炎等方面具有明显的作用。鸵鸟油按成分分为烷烃类，占0．04% ；醛类 ，占 0.22 %；酮类 ，占 0.98 %；饱和脂肪酸，占 42.63 %； 不饱和脂肪酸，占 48．57%；组成与含量比较均衡，因此在医药、化工、生化等领域内的应用具有很大的潜力，开发前景非常广泛 。
