The present invention includes a food oil composition comprising a blend
of a first oil comprising an LC PUFA and a second oil comprising
substantially no LC PUFA. The first oil can preferably comprise an
omega-3 LC PUFA, an omega-6 LC PUFA or mixtures thereof. The present
invention also provides methods of food preparation, more particularly,
methods for skillet-frying, deep-frying, methods for preparing edible
lipid-containing food sauces, methods for preparing extruded food
products, and methods for enhancing the LC PUFA content of a food
product, particularly previously cooked food products, and food products
prepared in accordance with such methods. Such compositions and methods
are useful, for example, for increasing intake of LC PUFAs.
