Coefficient of true digestibility of refined groundnut oil in rats, fed a diet containing 4% Hawk and Oser's salt mixture which is stoichiometrically equivalent to Osbonu-Mmdcfs salt mixture and which provides 473.4 mg calcium and 71.6 mg magnesium per 100 gdiet was found to be 96.6. Corresponding figure with a similar diet but containing 2 O/o salt mixture-351 of Hubbcl ef al. providing 4342 mg calcium and 20.9 mg magnesium per 100 g diet was only 90.0. Higher digestibility of the oil with the Huwk-Oser's salt mixturewasduetolesserexcretionofsoap(inthemain) andneutralfat,compared to that obtained with the diet containing the other salt mixture. In Hawk and Oser's salt mixture, the sources of calcium are citrate, hydrogen phosphate and carbonate of calcium whereas in the other salt mixture, it is exclusively derived from calcium carbonate. It seems that source of calcium in a diet has profound effect on the digestibility of a fat.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the interaction e β ect of starch and fat of such products over blood parameters (cholesterol, triglycerides), and to evaluate starch and fat digestibility. Experiments were carried out in eight groups of Sprague-Dawley rats that were under the follow
