  1. Percentage (%) of mean compliance was subjected to all 37 subjects and p-value was based on paired sample t-test
  2. aCompliance % (as days consumed of test oil) = [(no. of days with treatment oil– no. of days without treatment oil)/ No of days with treatment oil] x 100%
  3. bCompliance % (as energy % from test oil) = [Average daily energy intake from test oil (%)* / Minimum percentage of recommended energy from test oil ( or 10%)] x 100%
  4. *Average percentage of daily energy intake from test oil (%) = [Average daily energy intake from test oil (kcal)# /Average total daily energy intake from the complete diet (kcal)] x100%
  5. #Average daily energy intake from test oil (kcal) = {Total volume of oil consumed for treatment period (mL)/ [(no. of days x number of members consumed per day)]} x 0.92 × 9 kcal/g
  6. Abbreviation: FFQ- food frequency questionnaire; SD- standard deviation
