INNOLIVA defends the excellence of EVOO\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vegetable oil is the substance obtained through fruits or seeds with a high content of fatty acids. However, within this broad definition, there are several types and not all enjoy the same cover letter.<\/p>\n

The main difference between the different types of vegetable oils lies in the type of fats they contain. We are interested in monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, known as \u00abgood fats\u00bb.<\/p>\n

According to the Spanish Heart Foundation, monounsaturated fatty acids \u00abare generally liquid at room temperature\u00bb, which \u00abhave a double bond in their structure\u00bb and whose \u00abmain representative\u00bb is oleic acid, which is found in olive oil. It is also known that this type of oil can lower total cholesterol and LDL. On the other hand, polyunsaturated fatty acids are those that \u00abhave one or two bonds in their structure\u00bb, are \u00abessential components of cell membranes and precursors of prostaglandins\u00bb and are \u00abessential\u00bb because \u00abthey are not synthesized in the body\u00bb . Here, the Omega 6 becomes the protagonist.<\/p>\n

The two types are \u00abgood\u00bb, however, the first one takes some advantage over the second.<\/p>\n

To see this more clearly, let’s take two examples: olive oil and sunflower oil. Taking into account its composition, while the former is characterized by having 74% monounsaturated fats, the latter only presents 23% of them, predominating in the latter polyunsaturated fats (66%).<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if we look at its properties, olive oil has antioxidant power, prevents cardiovascular diseases, is a natural anti-inflammatory and helps control \u00abbad cholesterol\u00bb or diabetes and prevent others such as breast cancer or obesity . Meanwhile, the sunflower is notable for its high content of vitamin E, also with antioxidant effect, prevents cardiovascular and coronary diseases and helps improve the nervous system.<\/p>\n

However, the great difference between the two, as DMedicina account, is that sunflower oil often suffers \u00abaddition of solvents, soda or phosphoric acid before adapting to human consumption\u00bb and, in addition, \u00abin the refining process is lose the vitamins, polyphenols \u00aband many of those beneficial components that we talked about earlier.<\/p>\n

Olive oil also offers good resistance and stability in the face of high temperatures. On the other hand, sunflower does not guarantee that \u00abharmful alterations to the good taste or health of consumers\u00bb can not be produced.<\/p>\n

In addition, as a producer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (AOVE), INNOLIVA recommends betting on this category, where the true excellence of the olive juice is found.<\/p>\n
