The nutritional value of the oil is higher than that of olive oil, which is really compared with Acer Truncatum Seed Oil， Olive oil is considered a high-end edible oil in the ranks of woody oils, and it has always been the representative of healthy edible oil.
What qualifications does Acer Truncatum Seed Oil have to compare with the industry leaders? Next, we will compare the main nutrients that are beneficial to the human body.
The fatty acid composition of Acer Truncatum Seed Oil is between peanut oil and rapeseed oil, and the unsaturated fatty acid content reaches 90%.
Essential fatty acid (linoleic acid) content is higher than imported olive and palm oil.
The high content of vitamin E (125mg/100g) in Acer Truncatum Seed Oil is three times that of olive oil and palm oil, and twice that of peanut oil.
In addition to the above main nutrients, Acer Truncatum Seed Oil is the world-recognized main source of nervonic acid needed to treat and prevent nerve pathway damage, and it is also a plant material that can achieve mass production of nervonic acid!
The function of nervonic acid
Recent studies have concluded that nervonic acid is implicated as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of nerve cell myelin.
It is an important member of the group of cerebrosides, which are fatty acids of the glycosphingolipids group, important components of the muscles and the central nervous system, and peripheral. Indeed, it is one of the major fatty acids in brain sphingolipids, normally accounting for approximately 40% of the total fatty acids in sphingolipids.
Nervonic acid is an essential nutrient for the growth and maintenance of the brain. This acid can speed development in infants. It is the reason why it is recommended for pregnant and nursing women.
Nervonic acid is a regulator of the Ca2+ ion channel in the cell membrane of nerve tissues, so it plays an important role in the control of the levels of calcium in the cytosol.
Nervonic acid can regulate the function of brain cell membranes and have a neuroprotective effect which is important to high-level training adults or athletes.
Moreover, due to its function as an intermediate in myelin biosynthesis, dietary therapy with nervonic acid-containing fats has been studied: nervonic acid appears to be beneficial for the treatment of genetic disorders of lipid metabolism, such as Zellweger syndrome.
