Detailed explanation-2: -Olive oil is the principal source of lipids in the Mediterranean diet, with “extra virgin” olive oil (EVOO) referring to an oil fraction produced via mechanical rather than chemical extraction of olives at temperatures that limit effects on intrinsic properties of the oil [1], [2].
Detailed explanation-3: -The main triacylglycerols found in olive oil are: OOO (40–59%), POO (12–20%), OOL (12.5–20%), POL (5.5–7%), SOO (3–7%) (O = oleic acid, P = palmitic acid, S = stearic acid, L = linoleic acid).
Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein.
