Abstract

Palm oil is one of the most widely used vegetable oils by the food industry but there is limited information on actual intake. A detailed intake assessment of palm oil for Spain and Germany was conducted. For Spain, mean palm oil intakes ranged from 2.06 g/day in the elderly to 4.54 g/day in children and adolescents, while high-level intakes ranged from 10.34 g/day in the elderly to 20.88 g/day in toddlers. For Germany, mean palm oil intakes ranged from 3.06 g/day in toddlers to 6.22 g/day in the very elderly, while high-level intakes ranged from 13.61 g/day in toddlers to 30.10 g/day in the elderly. For both countries, the main contributing food categories to mean palm oil intake were biscuits, cakes, bread, breakfast cereal and margarine. In summary, the present paper provides a realistic assessment of the intake of palm oil in two EU countries for different population groups.

摘要

棕榈油是食品行业使用最广泛的植物油之一，但关于实际摄入量的信息有限。对西班牙和德国的棕榈油摄入量进行了详细评估。在西班牙，棕榈油的平均摄入量从老年人的 2.06 克/天到儿童和青少年的 4.54 克/天不等，而高水平的摄入量从老年人的 10.34 克/天到幼儿的 20.88 克/天不等。在德国，棕榈油的平均摄入量从幼儿的 3.06 克/天到老年人的 6.22 克/天不等，而高水平的摄入量从幼儿的 13.61 克/天到老年人的 30.10 克/天不等。对于这两个国家来说，平均棕榈油摄入量的主要食物类别是饼干、蛋糕、面包、早餐麦片和人造黄油。总之，
