Abstract
AbstractHigh Oleic Sunflower Seed Oil is a monounsaturated oil, containing approximately 80 percent of its fatty acids as oleic acid. This is the highest level of monounsaturate available on the market today. This unusually high level imparts excellent nutritional properties to the oil, especially with respect to cholesterol metabolism. A study conducted to determine this effect has been done. Results indicate decreases in cholesterol and LDL while maintaining levels of beneficial HDL. This study will be discussed. The stability of High Oleic Sunflower Seed Oil was compared to other monounsaturated and polyunsaturated oils. In accelerated oxidation studies it proved to exhibit greater stability than other oils. These results will be discussed.
