The research has been highlighted in many publications including the Food Chemistry Journal (www.elsevier.com) titled «Comparison of
the phenolic - dependent antioxidant properties of coconut oil extracted under cold and hot conditions» by Prof. Kapila Seneviratne, Chamil D. Hapuarachchi and Sagarika Ekanayake; Food Science and Technology of Sage Publications titled «Antioxidant activities of
the phenolic extraction of seeds and seed hulls of 5 different species»; International Journal of Food Science and Technology of the United Kingdom; and the International Food Research Journal of Malaysia.
Many people are also unaware of what compounds are available in coconut oil as no extensive studies have been conducted as in the case of olive oil which has been established as lowering the risk of coronary heart disease through
the phenolic anti-oxidants it contains.
«We found that coconut oil rich with
phenolic compounds effectively increased the anti-oxidant capacity in blood.
and
phenolic that are extra beneficial, says Dr. Mercola.
Research, meanwhile, also suggests that the non-lipid fraction contains compounds such as
phenolic - antioxidants, which can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
«There is a possibility that hydrogenated or refined oil has been used in these experiments which can lead to varying results,» he says, explaining that
the phenolic - antioxidants maybe getting lost due to the refining process.
«Fortunately, most of
the phenolic anti-oxidants present in coconut oil are also thermally highly stable,» he pointed out, explaining that the reason for a greater composition of anti-oxidants is that simmering for a long time at a high temperature dissolved more anti-oxidants into the oil.
But, he points out, it is important to know which type of oil has been used for research because depending on the extraction method,
the phenolic - antioxidant composition may vary.
Celery is also a high - water, anti-inflammatory veggie (natural diuretic) with
