3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Fatty Acids and Triacylglycerols of Red Palm OilsThe fatty acid compositions of each fat sample are presented in Table 1. The most abundant fatty acids in HRPO and NRPO were palmitic acid (C16:0, 34.95–42.96%), oleic acid (C18:1, 38.99–42.27%), and linoleic acid (C18:2, 10.70–11.57%); in addition, the fat contained appreciable quantities of stearic acid (C18:0, 3.87–5.83%). The total unsaturated fatty acids accounted for 49.69–54.40% of the fat.

4. DiscussionDyslipidemia is linked to an increased likelihood of CVD, type-2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and various diseases related to obesity [4]. Several fatty acids used in food for special medical purposes have been exploited to improve blood lipids and prevent CVD and atherosclerosis, such as DHA [52], EPA [53], and medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) [54].

4. DiscussionDyslipidemia, particularly higher concentrations of TC and LDL-C, is significantly correlated with an elevated risk of CVD. Several effective food nutrients have been developed to improve lipid profiles, including the use of fatty acids [63,64]. LA is one of the essential fatty acids and is mainly found in corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, safflower oil and peanut oil. It has been reported that increasing LA consumption exerts no influence on inflammatory markers [65].
