Abstract
Abstract Triglyceride cooking/salad oil compositions with fatty acid content balanced for health purposes. The fatty acid composition of the triglycerides comprises by weight: Oleic: 60-92% Linoleic: 5-25% α-Linolenic: 0-15% Saturates: Less than about 3% At least about 20% of the triglycerides are triglycerides of mixed fatty acids.
