FIGURE 2.

The effect of an interesterified (IE) palm stearin/palm kernel (PSt/PK) fat on postprandial [¹³C]palmitic acid recovery in (A) plasma triacyglycerol (TAG) palmitic acid and (B) CO₂ from breath. Data are expressed as mean (SEM), n = 9, hourly percent dose recovery (PDR) of the total [¹³C] palmitic acid consumed as 75 mg [1,1,1]-¹³C glyceryl tripalmitin blended in the test fats used in the study meals. No differences were observed in (A) PDR_Plasma [incremental area under the curve (iAUC)] between IE and non-IE fats over the postprandial period. Non-IE (B) PDR_Breath (iAUC) was higher than IE over the postprandial period (P = 0.017). Data were analyzed using a linear mixed model.
