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].
