The Claim
The major triacylglycerols in Locusta migratoria oil are palmitodiolein (14.97%), palmitooleolinolein (12.72%), and dipalmitoolein (11.79%), indicating a specific molecular structure profile dominated by combinations of palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
The primary fat molecules in locust oil consist mainly of three specific triglyceride compounds made from palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids, present in measured proportions of 14.97%, 12.72%, and 11.79% respectively.
See the scientific wording
The major triacylglycerols in Locusta migratoria oil are palmitodiolein (14.97%), palmitooleolinolein (12.72%), and dipalmitoolein (11.79%), indicating a specific molecular structure profile dominated by combinations of palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids.
The insect's body combines palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid into fat molecules in a specific pattern, creating the three most common fat types found in its oil.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that the three main fat molecules in locust oil are exactly the ones the claim says they are, and in the same order of abundance. So the claim is correct based on the science.
