Recently, palmitoleic acid has been shown to be a lipokine with many beneficial effects including anti-inflammatory properties, blood glucose and triglyceride levels. Olive oil contains small amounts of palmitoleic acid (0.3% – 3.5%), while avocado oil contains moderate amounts (4% to 13%), but macadamia oil is a good source of palmitoleic acid from 17% to 20%. In addition to the high concentration of monounsaturated fats, the main source of health, nutrition and medicinal properties of these oils are derived from their component components, which are phytosterols, tocopherols (vitamin E), phenols, squalene, carotenoids, etc.
