Abstract
We determined the content of tocopherols, cholesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol in 118 foods and 16 fatty acids in 78 foods with a view to examining the content of nutrients in daily foods related to heart disease, aging, and so on.
Based on the obtained data and daily foods consumption habit in Japan, daily intake of those nutrients was 6.5mg for vitamin E (α-tocopherol equivalent), 300mg for cholesterol, 160mg for β-sitosterol, 6mg for stigmasterol, 46.56g for total fatty acid, 13.15g for saturated fatty acids, 19.11g for menoenoic fatty acids, and 14.30g for polyenoic fatty acids.
