Comparison of Composition and Structure of Palm Oil with Lard

Abstract:

In order to confirm the substitutability of palm oil for lard, the fatty acid composition and their distribution at the Sn-2 position of triglycerides in three kinds of palm oil products and five kinds of lard products were investigated. The results obtained were as follows. Palm oil has similar saturated fatty acids composition (C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2) with lard, and has slightly lower unsaturated fatty acids content than lard. The Sn-2 position of palm oil is mainly distributed with unsaturated fatty acids (C18:1, C18:2), while the Sn-2 position of lard is mainly distributed with saturated fatty acids (C16:0, C18:0), which is maybe the cause why palm oil is easier to be digested and absorbed than lard.
