Biscuits made with high-oleic sunflower oil have more of a certain healthy fat and vitamin E than those made with palm oil, which could make them nutritionally different.
Scientific Claim
Short dough biscuits formulated with high-oleic sunflower oil or its blends contain higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acids and α-tocopherol compared to those made with palm oil, which may influence their nutritional profile.
Original Statement
“formulations containing high-oleic sunflower oil and its blends exhibited higher monounsaturated fatty acids and α-tocopherol”

Assessment Explanation
The abstract describes observed differences but does not specify experimental controls or statistical validation. Causal or definitive language is inappropriate for an in vitro study without methodological details. 'Exhibited' is descriptive but implies a direct link without verification.
More Accurate Statement
“Short dough biscuits formulated with high-oleic sunflower oil or its blends are associated with higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acids and α-tocopherol compared to those made with palm oil, based on laboratory analysis.”
