Jesus, I Trust In You!
I want to experiment with palm oil as a warm/hot oil treatment. If my hunch is right, I should be reaping a good amount of my EFAs, vit A, D & E plus it is readily accessible at African or international food stores. Palm oil contains an equal proportion of unsaturated acids. ( 40% monounsaturated oleic acids, 44% palmitic acids and oleic acids)
It is a natural source of Vitamin E. (from http://www.shea-butter.com/oils/palm.shtml )
Table 2: Composition of the palm oil (% of total fatty acids)
Fatty acid ----------------- A -------- B --------- Mean
Lauric-----------------0.3 -------------- 1.6--------- 0.95
Myristic ----------------- 1.3 --------- 2.2 --------- 1.75
Palmitic ----------------- 39.3 --------- 36.4 --------- 38.0
Stearic ----------------- 5.9 --------- 8.0 --------- 6.95
Oleic ----------------- 36.8 --------- 34.2 --------- 35.5
Linoleic----------------- 14.5 --------- 14.1 --------- 14.3
Saturated ----------------- 46.4 --------- 49.3 --------- 48.4
Unsaturated ----------------- 52.5 --------- 50.7 --------- 51.6
