FAQs about Carotino Salad and Cooking Oil

1. Why is the oil red in color?
The red color is due to the presence of natural carotenes (beta about 55% and alpha about 35%) in the red palm oil. The beta and alpha carotenes make up about 90% of the total carotenoid content. Other carotenes are lycopene, phytoene and zeacarotene. Carotenoids are believe to promote pro-Vitamin A activity. They are best absorbed in the presence of fact which acts as a carrier.

Red palm oil contains the full spectrum of carotenoids and is considered the richest source with concentrations of 700 - 1000 ppm. That's 30 times more than is contained in carrots!

Carotino Salad and Cooking Oil is also packed with Vitamin E consisting of tocopherols and tocotrienols. Together they are beleived to be super-antioxidants.

2. Why is Carotino Salad and Cooking Oil a blend with canola oil?
Carotino Salad and Cooking Oil is made from the finest blend of red palm oil and non-GMO canola oil so it retains its rich source of carotenes, natural Vitamin E and co-enzyme Q10. Canola is an oil low in saturated fats and high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. By blending Canola with red palm oil, the saturated fat content is reduced to 2 g per tablespoon or about 14%. This blend also helps to maintain the liquid state of Carotino. If Carotino was 100% red palm oil, it turns solid in cool temperatures due to its high saturated fat content.

3. Will the carotenes and Vitamin E get destroyed while cooking?
In almost all forms of household cooking, carotenes and Vitamin E remain stable when used in cooking. You can also benefit from the natural nutrients in Carotino, by using it in salads.

4. Do carotenes or Vitamin E have any harmful effect if taken in excess?
According to the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine, the upper safety limit for many vitamins is 1,000 mg daily (in food or as a supplement) for adults.

5. Will the food cooked with Carotino Salad and Cooking Oil turn red?
Carotino is naturally red in color. There is no red color formed when used in cooking. For example light colored foods such as pasta tossed with Carotino will be slightly colored and will leave a non-staining golden yellow on the plate. Dark colored dishes do not show as much color. The golden yellow is due to the presence of natural carotenes (like carrots).

6. Can I use Carotino Salad and Cooking Oil in baking?
Yes, Carotino Salad and Cooking Oil is great in cakes (carrot, date, walnut, banana cakes), muffins, even mayonnaise and many other baked goods that use a liquid oil.
