Judging from the composition of palm oil, its high solid glycerol content keeps food stable without hydrogenation, which effectively resists oxidation. It is also suitable for hot climate and becomes a good seasoning for cakes and baked products. Palm oil is deeply loved by food manufacturing industry because of its several characteristics.
Disadvantages: Compared with traditional vegetable oil, peanut oil, soybean oil and rapeseed oil, palm oil has higher saturated fatty acids and lower unsaturated fatty acids, so it is not an ideal healthy oil. In some experiments, palm oil does show the function of "regulating blood lipid". But compared with other vegetable oils, it has no advantage. Many studies have also shown that palm oil has adverse effects on cardiovascular indicators.
Extended data:
The results showed that the content of 3- chloropropanol ester in oil processing raw materials and unrefined vegetable oil was extremely low, but the content in refined vegetable oil increased significantly, and its content level was related to the types of crude oil raw materials.
Compared with corn oil, rapeseed oil and soybean oil, vegetable oil with pulp as raw material, such as palm oil, is more likely to produce 3- chloropropanol ester. Optimizing the production process can reduce and control the production of 3- chloropropanol ester and glycidyl ester in vegetable oil refining. Therefore, experts suggest that:
1. Strengthen the analysis and study, and provide scientific basis for whether it is necessary to formulate the limit standards of these two substances.
2. According to the characteristics of different oil raw materials, such as some oils are suitable for cold pressing and some are suitable for hot processing, different processing methods are established. Moderate processing can reduce the formation of harmful substances and avoid the excessive formation of various dangerous factors.
3. Consumers should pay attention to nutrition collocation and food diversification in their daily diet, and eat vegetable oil according to the dietary guidelines of China residents (20 16) to avoid excessive intake.
