Enova VS. Olive Oil - 06 February 2005 22:23
from the nutritional label, ENOVA oil seems to be healthier than Extra Virgin Olive Oil. However, ENOVA is relatively new to the market so it is hard to say what its really about. How do you all feel about Enova? Is it as good or better than olive oil?

nah, prefer to avoid things made from soya, supposed to lower testosterene levels. Whatever, I'm happy with olive and flaxoil.

So, the big question is:- Where do excess kcals of diacylglycerols go? Does your liver glow a dull red from oxidising excess kcals of the stuff?
Of course post-prandial TGs are lower, the oil is mostly DGs! I expect that post-prandial DGs go up but what effect does that have on your body?
How much does Enova cost? Where do you get it from? How stable is it to oxidation & trans-fat formation at high temperatures?

Right, had a bit of a look through that, and also a glance around on the net.

My main concerns with it would be this statement from the FAQ's


Enova® brand oil is created from a blend of soy and canola oils. It is processed to contain higher concentrations of a naturally-occurring component of vegetable oil called diacylglycerol (DAG). This patented process is not a cold press process; it is a patented process (which cannot be replicated at home) whereby glycerol and fatty acids from natural soy and canola oil are linked, in the presence of an enzyme (a lipase called Lipozyme RMIM) to produce an oil that is 80% DAGs, which are more likely to be broken down and used for energy rather than stored as fat.


Now, the patented process is simply enzymic degradation of TGs to DGs, which will give a variety of 1,3 and 1,2 DGs - however, what temperature/light/oxygen is at play? Also, what is the start oil used? Doubtlessly a heavily processed one. Regarding Nige's Q about oxidation, etc, I can only assume it is easier to damage than TGs as DGs are more accessible - i.e. less crowded.

However, looking at this - http://www.nutritionj.com/content/6/1/43 - it looks like they weren't doing a smoke and mirrors job on their site, which is at least reassuring (unless they did the study, lol!). I didn't like the conclusiveness of the cancer stuff at the bottom though.

Personally I'd rather stick with olive oil or butter for cooking with unless I was seriously overweight and looking for a new trick, even then damage would be too concerning for me...

Interesting find though, had to go over some stuff I've not read in a long time!!
