abstract={Refined palm oil (palm olein) is widely used in the diet of C?te d¡¯Ivoire. However, populations traditionally consume oilseeds from spontaneous trees, including the ai¨¦l¨¦. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of ingestion (for 4 weeks) of 15% crude ai¨¦l¨¦ (unrefined), refined palm and combined oil diets on normal growing rats. The physicochemical properties of the oils or oil mixtures were determined by standard methods and their fatty acid profile by gas chromatography after methylation of the fatty acids by Boron trifluoride-methanol (BF3 methanol). In addition, Diets containing 15% of fat were administered to growing Wistar strain rats for 28 days. The results indicated that the SFA, MUFA and PUFA levels of the crude oil of the ai¨¦l¨¦ are respectively 45; 34; 21% to 44; 44; 12 % and 13; 29; 58 % for refined oils of palm and corn. Three main fatty acids have been identified: palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids. Nutritional parameters assessed revealed that the crude oil of the ai¨¦l¨¦ diet is better appreciated than the refined palm oil diet despite the relatively high acid and peroxide values of the oil of the ai¨¦l¨¦. However, the digestibility of its dry matter and lipids are relatively low compared to those of refined palm and corn oil diets. However, the combination of crude oil of ai¨¦l¨¦ with refined oil of palm tends to improve the nutritional performance of the lipids of the diet. Furthermore, no significant differences were reported between blood lipid parameters of the ai¨¦l¨¦ and refined palm oil diets.},
