Abstract:

According to the recommended proportion of edible fatty acids issued by Chinese Nutrition Society in 2000, the ratio of SFA: MUFA: PUFA is 1:1:1 in mass, and the ratio of n-6: n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is (4-6): 1. A mathematical model was established through programming and calculation by Matlab math software. This model was convenient to obtain appropriate ratio of raw materials in cooking oil for frying, rice bran cooking oil, and cooking oil with quality and low price. The proportion of fatty acids in formula met the recommended requirements. Thus, this mathematical model can be effectively applied to explore the formula of nutrition-based cooking oil.

Key words: fatty acid, mathematical model, cooking oil
