Summary  We derive a uniform rate of convergence of (1–n‐1x)n to e‐x(x < 0). It provides a uniform rate of convergence for the distribution of the largest order statistic in a sample from an exponential distribution to the "double exponential" extreme value distribution. It likewise provides a rate of convergence for the distribution of the smallest order statistic from a uniform distribution.

Interesterified (IE) fats are used in a wide range of food products and were introduced as a replacement for trans fats, which are known to be detrimental to cardiovascular health. However, the effects of interesterification on metabolism and subsequent effects on cardiovascular health are not understood and previous studies have seldom investigated industrially-relevant IE fats. No legislation currently exists regarding the labelling of IE fats in food products and therefore estimates of average consumption rates in the UK population are currently unavailable. In order to meet the urgent need for a systematic investigation of the health effects of consumer-relevant IE fats, it is essential to estimate current IE fat intakes and to investigate biological mechanisms that might mediate acute and chronic cardiometabolic effects of commercially relevant IE fats.
