Description

The reason we developed our own cooking oil is because we weren’t satisfied with what was on the market. So we set out to answer the question of what should and shouldn’t be in cooking and salad oils. First, you want relatively large amounts of the monounsaturated oleic acid. This is because it’s been found that, of the predominant fats in LDL cholesterol (the so-called «bad» cholesterol), oleic acid is a lot more resistant to auto-oxidation than polyunsaturated fat. Polyunsaturated fats are those with two or more double bonds, making them highly susceptible to free-radical damage. Monounsaturated fats are those with one double bond, making them much less a threat.

 

In human epidemiological studies, scientists have found that diets high in oleic acid (such as the famous mediterranean diet) are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than diets with a similar amount of other fats. The oleic acid is less atherogenic than that found in many saturated fats such as palmitic acid or myristic acid. So ideally, what you want in a cooking and salad oil is something that has a lot of oleic acid but has very little saturated fat. But also, you don’t want a lot of the omega-6 polyunsaturates. Most Americans are getting far too much in the way of omega-6 polyunsaturates. (You also need essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as those found in fish oils, borage oil, evening primrose oil and so forth. But that’s not what you get in most of these vegetable oils.)

So, it turns out that some clever genetic engineers modified sunflowers, which normally produce an oil very high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, which are highly subject to free radical auto-oxidation. They modified sunflowers to produce High Oleic Sunflower Oil. They did this by eliminating the genes that turn the oleic acid into linoleic and linolenic acid, which are the polyunsaturated fats usually found in sunflower oil.
