   WEST BEND, Wis., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Professor Vermont P. Dia of the University of the Philippines Los Banos recently conducted several tests on samples of Virgin Coconut Oil produced by Mt. Banahaw Health Products Corporation in the Philippines for phenolic acid content. Professor Dia and his students found that the level of phenolic acid in these samples was higher than any other Virgin Coconut Oil they had previously tested. Mt. Banahaw Health Products Corporation's Virgin Coconut Oil is marketed in the US, Europe, and Australia under the brand name "Tropical Traditions," and was the first "Virgin Coconut Oil" exported from the Philippines in 2001. Many local varieties of "Virgin Coconut Oil" have entered the Philippine market in the past 5 years. In 2005 Professor Vermont P. Dia conducted a study with some of his graduate students to analyze various Virgin Coconut Oils produced in different ways.
   ...
   So the company sent samples to Professor Dia to analyze, since the company had never tested antioxidant activity in their oil. Professor Dia and his students were among the first to test for phenolic acid in Virgin Coconut Oil. When they tested the Virgin Coconut Oil of Mt. Banahaw Health Products Corp., the values for phenolic acid were 13.21 to 13.43 micrograms gallic acid per gram of oil. By comparison, the three samples Professor Dia and his students produced in the laboratory for their study published in The Philippine Agricultural Scientist, and the six commercial samples they tested for that study all had a range of 6.29 to 8.38 micrograms gallic acid of phenolic content per gram of oil.
