Abstract
The present research work was undertaken in District Sangrur with a total of 100
subjects 50 each in rural and urban area so as to study consumption pattern of rice
bran oil. The data regarding dietary fat intake, edible oil consumption, buying
behaviour, anthropometric and clinical parameters were collected. Consumption
pattern of fats and oils of rural and urban male subjects revealed that the intake of total fat
(84 g/day) by the rural subjects was significantly (p≤0.001) higher than the total fat (62
g/day) intake by urban subjects. Similarly, the total fat intake was significantly
(p<0.001) higher in rural female subjects (80 g/day) as compared to urban (64 g/day)
subjects. Desi ghee (42%) and mustard oil (59%) were the most preferred oil for
household consumption once a day in rural and urban subjects. Rice bran oil was
consumed once a day by rural (10%) and urban (14%) subjects. Most of the subjects
(76%) in rural and urban households preferred to consume homemade desi ghee and
butter. Kachhi ghani mustard oil was consumed by majority of the urban subjects
(94%). Females were decision maker for the purchase of edible oil in rural (42%) and
urban (82%) families. Fortune was the most preferred brand of edible oil in the
market by rural (46%) and urban (29%) subjects. The reason behind their brand
purchase was quality, price and past experience of the oils. The classification of Body
Mass Index (BMI) revealed that most of the rural and urban subjects were in the
normal range of BMI (18.50-24.99 kg/m2). Most of the rural subjects (36%) who
consumed the combination of desi ghee + mustard oil had their average BMI of 22.8±0.8
kg/m2. The present study concluded that the majority of the rural (52 and 10%) and
urban (66 and 42%) subjects who consumed desi ghee and mustard oil were having
their BMI in normal category. The percent energy contribution from total fat intake
accounted for 11 and 15 percent of variation in BMI of rural and urban subjects.
