Average composition of tocopherols and fatty acids of some of the commercialized oils do not fulfill the basic requirement established according the Peruvian Technical Regulation (NTP)
| Tocopherols (mg/kg) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Total tocopherol | γ-Tocopherol | δ-Tocopherol | |
| IP001, IP006, IP007, IP020 and IP024 | < 1900 | ||
| IP003, IP009, IP012, IP024 and IP026 | 850 | 1017 | |
| Equation and correlation coefficient between γ-tocopherol versus δ-tocopherol | δ-toc = 79.2846 + 0.6554298 *γ-toc; r = 0.7272 | ||
| Fatty acids (mol%) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Palmitic | Oleic | Linoleic | α-Linolenic | L/Ln | |
| IP001, IP006, IP007, IP011, IP014, IP016, IP019 and IP020 | 7.84 | 17.61 | 42.02 | 28.16 | 2.21 |
According to the NTP (2018): α-tocopherol (60–70 mg/kg), β-tocopherol (18–29 mg/kg), γ-tocopherol (1108–1367 mg/kg), δ-tocopherol (641–856 mg/kg), palmitic acid (between 3.70 and 4.40%), oleic acid (greater than 8.5%), linoleic acid (greater than 32%) and α-linolenic acid (greater than 42%)
