The nutritionally important long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid are stabilized against oxidation and have better absorption characteristics into the human body when present in a randomly interesterified triacyl glycerol mixture containing less than 5 % long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and at least 80 % medium chain saturated fatty acids. Stabilized lipidic composition comprised of randomly interesterified triacyl glycerol compounds (TAGs) contain, expressed by weight of the fatty acid residues: (a) less than 5 wt. % of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) with 20 C or more and a degree of unsaturation of 4 and more, represented predominantly by arachidonic acid (AA, C20:4, n-6), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6, n-3) or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5, n-3), and (b) at least 80 wt. % of medium chain saturated fatty acids (MC-SFA) with 6-14 C. The TAGs containing the LC-PUFAs are composed practically exclusively of mono-LC-PUFA. |
