Seven kinds of trial margarines which were hardened by mixing corn oil with wholly hydrogenated tallow, monoglyceride and sorbitanmonostearate were taken 60g per day for a week by seven groups each group consisting of 4 girls.
The seven kinds of the margarines were made from:
No. 1. Corn oil 90% & wholly hydrogenated tallow 10%
No. 2. Corn oil 80% & wholly hydrogenated tallow 20%
No. 3. Corn oil 75% & wholly hydrogenated tallow 25%
No. 4. Corn oil 90% & monoglyceride 10%
No. 5. Corn oil 80% & monoglyceride 20%
No. 6. Corn oil 75% & monoglyceride 25%
No. 7. Corn oil 75% & sorbitanmonostearate 25%
Results obtained showed that the serum cholesterol lowering effects of the margarines which contain monoglyceride and sorbitanmonostearate were much more than those of triglyceride.
