Ácido erúcico: Diferenzas entre revisións

In 2003 Food Standards Australia set a Provisional Tolerable Daily Intake (PTDI) of about 500&nbsp;mg/day of erucic acid, based on "the level that is associated with increased myocardial lipidosis in nursling pigs."<ref name=fsa /> "There is a 120-fold safety margin between this level and the level that is associated with increased myocardial lipidosis in nursling pigs. The dietary exposure assessment has concluded that the majority of exposure to erucic acid

by the general population would come from the consumption of [[canola oil]]. The dietary intake of erucic acid by an individual consuming at the average level is well below the PTDI, therefore, there is no cause for concern in terms of public health and safety. However, the individual consuming at a high level has the potential to approach the PTDI. This would be particularly so if the level of erucic acid in canola oil was to exceed 2% of the total fatty acids."<ref name=fsa />
