Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test substance was poorly absorbed after dietary administration in rats.
Executive summary:

The oral absorption of the constituent 'glycerides, C16 -18' (as fully hydrogenated soybean oil) was measured in a 15 d feeding study by analysis of fecal unabsorbed fat.

Diet containing 15% of the constituent was fed to 10 Sprague-Dawley rats/sex for 15 d. Control group was fed with 15% soybean oil for same duration. Feces were collected for the final 10 d, and analysed for unabsorbed fat. Low absorption was observed for the test substance (6±4% ) compared to soybean oil (94±2%).

Under the test conditions, the constituent was poorly absorbed after dietary administration in rats (Nolen 1981).
