LCF:SMCF and Peroxidative Index of various food oils

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Here is a Excel comparison I have just finished looking at various food oils

based on two factors:

 

1) The ratio of the total of long chain fats (LCF) (14 and longer) to the total

of short and medium chain fats (SMCF)

(12 and shorter). Fatty acids 12 chain length and shorter do not need

lipoprotein / cholesterol for transport around

the body, don't need carnitine for transport across cell membranes and are not

stored as body fat. Lauric (12:0) also

is strongly anti-bacterial and anti-viral.

 

2) The Peroxidative Index of various oils based on the number of double bonds

and the ease these double bonds can be

oxidized / attacked by free radicals.
