New Article: Cooking and Health Attributes of Olive Oil Compared with Other Vegetable OilsSavantes covers all aspects of the taste and uses of extra virgin and other olive oils. Often when asking consumers about the use of other vegetable oils in preference to olive oil they justify their choice by repeating advertising claims of well promoted oils such as rice bran oil. Analysis of comparative smoke points and health benefits shows that some of these claims are questionable, if not downright wrong. Cooking and Health Attributes of Olive Oil Compared with Other Vegetable Oils Smoke Point The second issue with regard to selecting which vegetable oil to use in cooking revolves around the health benefits derived from the fatty acid composition. Olive oil has 70-80% oleic acid which is a monounsaturated fat, and 8-10% polyunsaturated fats. On the other hand most other vegetable oils contain less monounsaturated fats and more polyunsaturated fats. Fats derived from animals have a high level of saturated fats. The main saturated fats in olive oil are myristic, palmitic and stearic, The main. monounsaturated fat is oleic and polyunsaturated fats are linoleic and linolenic. The ratio of the different degrees of saturation are important from both a health and cooking perspective. Click here to read the full article... Previous Article: Health Attributes of Olive Oil The Savantes programme, while concentrating on the taste and flavour of olive oil, has important sessions discussing the health attributes. Many of the taste and flavour characteristics are good indicators of the level of the ‘health chemistry’ of extra virgin olive oils. ‘You are what you eat’ goes the saying. Perhaps this is better stated as ‘You are what you ingest’. The human body is a complex organism which is kept alive by what we ingest. Some of this is voluntary through eating and drinking, some of it involuntary like the intake of air and the absorption of the sun’s rays and other compounds through the skin. Pretty well everything we ingest has an impact on our health. Those of us who are involved with olive oil need to know the basics of health benefits of olive oil and how to encourage consumers to gain the benefits by using olive oil. We need this information in a form we can pass on to consumers who in general have less scientific knowledge than we do. Click here to read the full article...
