Edible Oil

[edit]

This section states the important fact that there are two kind of this oil with very different primary fatty acids, and notes that the high-oleic kind is currently the predominant one in the edible oil market. Following this is a table showing fatty acid composition without identifying which kind it is for, which is in fact it is for the non-predominent high-linoleic kind. This is very misleading. I've modified the title of this table with "high-linoleic" and added a table with the rough fatty acid composition of the high-oleic kind. It is not as detailed as the first table, coming from only one source and so not offering a min/max range, and only including the major fatty acid components, but it at least clears up what was previously grossly misleading. It could be improved later. --Ericjs (talk) 01:57, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
