Abstract

The diacyl glycerol oil (DAG oil) is a versatile oil/fat which does not accumulate in the body when consumed unlike the normal triacyl glycerol oils/fats (for ex., oils and fats). Diacyl glycerol oils have been prepared by using edible oils or fatty acids and its consumption has been shown to provide antiobesity effect in experimental animals and human volunteers. The level of consumption of DAG oil has been studied upto 10g/day of a 60kg adult to provide antiobesity effect in clinical trials and is reported to be safe and does not impair vitamin absorption. The oil has a future for promoting body weight management.
