| Blending of linseed oil with other edible oils | ||||
| Four years of experimentation on blending of linseed oil with coconut oil, palm olein and rice bran oil in the ratio of 80 (edible oils):20 (linseed oil), was found to improve the ratio of omega-6 to 3 to almost ≤3:1 in all experimental blends (i.e. coconut oil, palm olein and rice bran oil blends with linseed oil). The antioxidant, Asorbyl palmitate (500 mg/1 kg of oil) was found to control lipid peroxidation effective | BVDU, Pune | |||
