An edible oil composition includes at least a major proportion of an edible bulk oil, and a second oil constituent combined therewith for increased stability. The second oil constituent is a sesame oil, preferably extracted and refined in a manner preserving substantial concentrations of antioxidant factors present therein. The bulk oil is preferably high in monounsaturated content, and is conveniently one of any available oils such as, for example, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, having a monounsaturated fatty acid content in a range of about 70% or greater, and having a maximum of about 10% saturated fatty acids. Advantageously, the linolenic acids content should also not exceed 3%. Optionally, the composition may contain a third oil constituent in a minor proportion, the oil being selected from a group of oils high in DELTA -5 avenasterol, such as, for example rice bran oil or oat oil. The third oil constituent functions to inhibit polymer formation and is believed to neutralize odors and flavors caused by undeodorized sesame oil, permitting the use of higher concentrations thereof. <IMAGE> |
