CNO, refined CNO (RCNO), rice bran oil, (RBO), soyabean oil (SBO), palm oil (PO), mustard oil (MO), groundnut oil (GNO), sesame oil (SESO), sunflower oil (SFO) and safflower oil (SAFFO) used were for blending. The tocopherol and phytosterol contents were determined. The tocopherol contents of the starting oil ranged from 1.7 to 153.3 mg%. SBO and PO had the highest tocopherol contents at 153.3 mg% and 96.1 mg%, respectively. The tocopherol content of blends for CNO consumers ranged from 11.7-96.5 mg% while those for non-CNO consumers ranged from 45.1-103.5 mg%. The phytosterol content of the blends prepared for CNO consumers ranged from 165 to 375 mg%. The phytosterol content of the blends prepared for non-CNO consumers ranged from 190 to 425 mg%. Results show that CNO has low amounts of phytosterols and tocopherols. The blends prepared may provide the health benefits of medium chain fatty acids along with tocopherols and phytosterols to non-CNO consumers. 收起
