Materials and methods

Objective of study:

absorption

Test guideline

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The absorption of soybean oil was measured in a 15-d feeding study by analysis of unabsorbed fecal fat. The net fat absorption was calculated from dietary intakes and fecal excretion.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the constituent was highly absorbed (94%) after dietary administration in rats.

Executive summary:

The oral absorption of the constituent 'glycerides, C16 -18 and C18 -unsatd.' (as soybean oil) was measured in a 15 d feeding study by analysis of fecal unabsorbed fat. Diet containing 15% of the constituent was fed to 10 male Sprague-Dawley rats for 15 d. For the final 10 d, the feces were collected for unabsorbed fat analysis. The net fat absorption was calculated from dietary intakes and fecal excretion. High (94%) absorption was observed. Under the test conditions, the constituent was highly absorbed after dietary administration in rats (Nolen, 1981 (1)).
