Mustard oil (Sarson ka tel) is a vegetable oil and is obtained from seeds of the mustard plant. Large quantity of the mustard oil is used for edible purpose in many states of India namely J&K, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Jharkhand. Crude oil is dark brown in color and contains a large proportion of free fatty acids. The refined oil is bland and light brown in color. (Consumer voice, 2011).
1.2 Production per year:
India's mustard oil production is expected to touch 34 lakh tonnes (LT) by 2020 told by Puri Oil Mills Managing Director Vivek Puri (http://www.business-standard.com).

1.3 Importance of mustard oil in Indian diet:
Mustard oil has importance in Indian kitchens. Mustard oil is the safest oil and as good as any other edible oil for our heart. WHO recommends N3/N6 ratio of 4:5 which was almost nearer to mustard oil. Mustard oil is consider heart-friendly because it is cholesterol- and trans-fat free, low in saturated fats and high in monounsaturated fat (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) (Yadav and Kumari, 2013).
Mustard oil has about 70 % MUFA, 22 % PUFA and 8 % SFAs. Mustard oil also have high levels of omega-3 (10 %) and are a common, cheap, mass-produced vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids (Mishra and Manchanda S.C., 2012).

In the presence of oxygen from either the air or the product, food moisture, and high temperature, oil undergoes mainly three deleterious reactions, Hydrolysis: This occurs mainly due to water evaporating from the food during frying. The high temperature promotes hydrolysis and the resulting formation of diglycerides, monoglycerides, free fatty acids, and glycerol. Oxidation: it involves oxidation of double bonds, the degree of unsaturation. Thermal polymerization: Thermal changes lead to the formation of cyclic monomers, dimers and polymers in a non-radical mechanism (DANA and SAGUY,
Sesame seed oil: This oil is packed with B-complex vitamins, which is essential if you have an autoimmune or chronic disease that could impact the levels of vitamin B in your body. Vitamin B is essential for optimal health. It is also very high in the antioxidant vitamin E, which plays a part in the prevention of heart disease and
The way metabolic syndrome is related to nutrition is because this condition can lead to strokes, heart attacks and more severe conditions that can lead to death if you do not take care of your body. Carbohydrate consumption has been a factor for weight gain, obesity, diabetes, and a number of other diseases. High-fiber diets are also factors that can lead to several metabolic disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, as well as heart disease and colon cancer. Fat is a general term used to refer to oils, and the consumption of unsaturated fats, derived mostly from vegetable oils such as safflower, corn, olive and soybean oil, may be able to prevent serious disorders, such as hypertension a...
Dietary Factors in Preventing Heart Disease As coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the UK, more attention should be paid to preventing the disease. Many patients suffering from heart disease realise that it was mainly caused by their diet. Research has shown that elevated levels of LDL cholesterol are associated with increased risk of heart disease. “ Studies indicate that for every 1% elevation in the bad cholesterol there is a 2% increase in risk of heart disease” (A leaflet on heart disease.)
Besides the accidental spillage affecting severe damage to the environment and then causing harm to humans, there are direct impacts on human health from oil. Problems suc...
...h an upset stomach, menstrual cramps; I was also told that it would help my sleep at night. Another popular oil is tea tree, I have had personal experiences with this and by putting it on my acne I have seen a dramatic effect with my skin and a reduction of acne. Tea tree oil is also good for burns and ear infections. Peppermint oil is also popular for indigestion as well as mint teas. These each have specific parts of the body that they heal and take affect too.
Triglycerides are the main ingredients of vegetable oil. In that case, they are usually more unsaturated. They are also found animal fats. They are typically more saturated in animal fats. Triglycerides are also a major component of human skin oils.
...nerated and replaced by fat. Recently, specific compounds in the oil have been identified, they produce regeneration that is even more amazing than that produced by the oil itself. (Gerras, 1056)
For centuries, soy foods have been consumed by Asian while, they are relatively new to U.S. consumers. Soy foods have been well-known among western vegetarians for many decades, mainly due to their nutrient content and soy foods can be extremely versatile as replacements to meat, dairy products, snack foods, and can even count toward daily servings of vegetables. The quality of soy protein is higher compared to other legumes (protein digestibility corrected amino acid scores for soy protein from different soyfoods ranges from about 0.9 to 1.0) (Rand et al., 2003) and high amounts of the essential omega-3 fatty acid and α-linolenic acid (ALA) can be found in soybeans (Wu et al., 2004). Therefore, soy foods have often been appreciated by vegetarians more for the ease with which they can be incorporated into the diet than their nutrient content.

The omega-3 fatty acids, popularly referred to as fish oil, are considered unsaturated fats. Science differentiates between unsaturated and saturated fats quite clearly. One fact that separates the two is the temperature at which melting occurs. Saturated fats melt at a higher temperature than unsaturated fats. The science behind fatty acids is rather complex; carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains are the building blocks of saturated and unsaturated fats. This is important to the human body for many reasons; one reason being unsaturated fats do not cause plaque build-up in arteries like saturated fats due to their molecular structure in the human blood stream.
According to Reader’s Digest Oxford Complete Wordfinder, an essential oil is “a volatile oil derived from a plant, etc., with its characteristic odor” (492). As defined by Turek and Stintzing, it is “a product obtained from vegetable raw material.” The oil is extracted through distillation by steam or water, dry distillation, or “from the epicarp of citrus fruits by a mechanical
Sunflower oil is largely omega 6 polyunsaturates, so if you use sunflower oil regularly, you need to be sure you're getting enough omega 3s in your diet from other sources to balance it out. Re-using the oil more than a few times for deep-frying could cause the formation of harmful trans fats. There is nothing redeemable about trans fats.
- Cut out all vegetable, hydrogenated and partly-hydrogenated oils including, but not limited to, margarine, soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, canola oil, safflower oil and sunflower oil. Olive oil and avocado oil are fine, but don’t cook with them, use them in salad dressings and to drizzle over food.
Good fats are found in nuts, avocados, olives, seeds and healthy oils like olive oil, flaxseed, and sesame.
