Coconut oil is rich in medium chain @entity1718 , but deficient in @entity1474 ( @entity5204 ). Structured lipids (SL) enriched with omega 6 @entity5204 were synthesized from coconut oil @entity1674 by employing enzymatic acidolysis with free @entity1718 obtained from safflower oil. @entity35 were fed a diet containing coconut oil, coconut oil-safflower oil blend (1:0.7 w/ w) or structured lipid at 10% levels for a period of 60 days. The SL lowered serum @entity165 levels by 10.3 and 10.5% respectively in comparison with those fed coconut oil and blended oil. Similarly the liver @entity165 levels were also decreased by 35.9 and 26.6% respectively in animals fed structured lipids when compared to those fed on coconut oil or the blended oil. Most of the decrease observed in serum @entity165 levels of animals fed structured lipids was found in LDL fraction. The @entity412 levels in serum showed a decrease by 17.5 and 17.4% while in the liver it was reduced by 45.8 and 23.5% in the structured lipids fed animals as compared to those fed coconut oil or blended oil respectively. Differential scanning calorimetric studies indicated that structured lipids had lower melting points and solid fat content when compared to coconut oil or blended oils. These studies indicated that enrichment of coconut oil @entity1674 with omega 6 @entity1718 lowers its solid fat content. The omega 6 @entity5204 enriched structured lipids also exhibited hypolipidemic activity.
