Influence of seed roasting process on the changes in composition and quality of sesame (Sesame indicum) oil

The composition and quality changes of sesame oils prepared at different roasting temperatures (180–260°C) from sesame seed were evaluated and compared with an unroasted oil sample. There were no apparent differences in characteristics, such as acid value, iodine value, saponification value and refractive index, of sesame oils prepared at a roasting temperature between 180 and 220°C. The colour units and total polar content of oils increased in relation to an increase in roasting temperature. The phospholipid content was reduced from 690 mg kg^?1 in unroasted oil to 0 mg kg^?1 in the oil prepared using a 260°C roasting temperature. The fatty acid content of the oil was reduced markedly, especially in oleic and linoleic acids, when the roasting temperature was over 220°C. The amounts of chlorophyll and sesamolin decreased with increasing roasting temperature. However, the highest level of sesamol and γ-tocopherol was found in oils prepared with a 200–220°C roasting temperature. The sesame oil prepared at a 200°C roasting temperature had the best flavour score when compared with the other samples.     

Effects of Roasting Conditions on the Changes of Stable Carbon Isotope Ratios (δ13C) in Sesame Oil and Usefulness of δ13C to Differentiate Blended Sesame Oil from Corn Oil

Abstract: Differentiating blended sesame oils from authentic sesame oil (SO) is a critical step in protecting consumer rights. Stable carbon isotope ratios (δ¹³C), color, fluorescence intensity, and fatty acid profiles were analyzed in SO prepared from sesame seeds with different roasting conditions and in corn oil blended with SO. Sesame seeds were roasted at 175, 200, 225, or 250 °C for 15 or 30 min at each temperature. SO was mixed with corn oil at varying ratios. Roasting conditions ranging from175 to 250 °C at the 30 min time point did not result in significant changes in δ¹³C (P > 0.05). Values of δ¹³C in corn oil and SO from sesame seeds roasted at 250 °C for 15 min were −17.55 and −32.13 ‰, respectively. Fatty acid ratios, including (O + L)/(P × Ln) and (L × L)/O, where O, L, P, and Ln were oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and linolenic acids, respectively, showed good discriminating abilities among the SO blended with corn oil. Therefore, using different combinations of stable carbon isotope ratios and some fatty acid ratios can allow successful differentiation of authentic SO from SO blended with corn oil. Practical Application: Adulteration of sesame oil with less expensive oils such as corn oil or soybean oil to reduce cost is a common unethical practice in Korea. Due to the unique and strong flavor of sesame oils that may mask other weaker flavors, however, differentiating authentic sesame oils from blended oils is difficult. This study showed that the roasting process did not significantly affect the ratios of the stable carbon isotope (δ¹³C) in sesame oils. δ¹³C was confirmed to be a reliable parameter. Moreover, some fatty acid ratios were designed to discriminate between blended sesame oil with corn oil and authentic sesame oil.     

Effect of Infrared Heating on the Formation of Sesamol and Quality of Defatted Flours from Sesamum indicum L.

ABSTRACT:  Infrared (IR) heating offers several advantages over conventional heating in terms of heat transfer efficiency, compactness of equipment, and quality of the products. Roasting of sesame seeds degrades the lignan sesamolin to sesamol, which increases the oxidative stability of sesame oil synergistically with tocopherols. IR (near infrared, 1.1 to 1.3 μm, 6 kW power) roasting conditions were optimized for the conversion of sesamolin to sesamol. The resultant oil was evaluated for sesamol and tocopherol content as well as oxidative stability. The defatted flours were evaluated for their nutritional content and functionality. IR roasting of sesame seeds at 200 °C for 30 min increased the efficiency of conversion of sesamolin to sesamol (51% to 82%) compared to conventional heating. The γ-tocopherol content decreased by 17% and 25% in oils treated at 200 and 220 °C for 30 min, respectively. There were no significant differences in the tocopherol content and oxidative stability of the oil. Methionine and cysteine content of the flours remained unchanged due to roasting. The functional properties of defatted flours obtained from either IR roasted or conventionally roasted sesame seeds remained the same.
Practical Applications: Sesame oil is stable to oxidation compared to other vegetable oils. This stability can be attributed to the presence of tocopherols and the formation of sesamol, the thermal degradation product of sesamolin—a lignan present in sesame. Roasting of sesame seeds before oil extraction increases sesamol content which is a more potent antioxidant than the parent molecule. The conversion efficiency of sesamolin to sesamol is increased by 31% by infrared roasting of seeds compared to electric drum roasting. This can be used industrially to obtain roasted oil with greater oxidative stability.     

Impact of Roasting on the Chemical Composition and Oxidative Stability of Perilla Oil

Abstract: The impact of roasting was observed with regard to certain changes in the chemical components and oxidative stability of oil expelled from the roasted perilla seeds. The roasting times were established differently at each roasting temperature of 180, 200, and 220 °C. Trans fatty acids in perilla oil were detected, and the level detected increased as the roasting time increased. Moreover, the roasting of perilla seed led to an increase of 4 tocopherols, α‐, β‐, γ‐, and δ‐tocopherol, as well as phosphorus in the oil. The oxidative stability of the oils obtained after roasting increased during 60 d of storage at 60 °C. The rate of decrease of tocopherol in the oil from unroasted perilla seed was faster than that of the tocopherol in the oils from roasted perilla seeds during storage. Practical Application: The results reported in present research provide useful information that the producers of perilla oil could apply for their processing.     

Changes in color parameters of corn kernels during roasting

Changes in color parameters (L*, a*, b*, ΔE*, h°, and C* values) of corn during roasting were investigated and subsequently described using mathematical models. Corn kernels were roasted for 50 min at 160, 180, 200, 220, and 240°C. The L*, b*, h°, and C* values tended to decrease more rapidly as the roasting temperature and time increased up to 220°C and 50 min, whereas a* and ΔE* values tended to increase. Variation of L* and ΔE* values was found to be proportional to the roasting temperature and time. Variation of L* value during roasting above 180°C was adequately described by a first-order model. Cubic model satisfactorily described changes in all of color parameters over the temperature range. Activation energies of L* and ΔE* values were determined as 34.04 and 79.16 kJ/mol, respectively. Results suggest that L* and ΔE* values may be used as color control indicators during roasting of corn kernels.     

Effect of superheated-steam roasting on physicochemical properties of peanut (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Arachis hypogea</Emphasis>) oil

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an important source of protein and lipid globally. The effect of superheated-steam roasting on quality of peanut oil was evaluated based on physicochemical quality parameters. Three roasting temperatures (150, 200, and 250 °C) were used for different periods of roasting time and the obtained results were compared with those of conventional roasting. At 250 °C, superheated-steam roasted peanuts yielded more oil (26.84%) than conventionally roasted peanuts (24.85%). Compared with conventional roasting, superheated-steam roasting resulted in lower oil color, peroxide, p-anisidine, free fatty acid, conjugated diene and triene, and acid values and higher viscosity and iodine values in the roasted peanut oil. These values were significantly different from each other (p < 0.05). The fatty acids in roasted peanut oils were affected by roasting temperature and time for both the roasting modes. The superheated steam technique can be used to roast peanuts while maintaining their favorable characteristics.

利用亚临界低温萃取技术对经过炒制前处理的辣椒籽进行萃取制备得到辣椒籽油,并采用同时蒸馏结合GC-MS法,分析了不同的炒制温度(120~200℃)和炒制时间(5~25 min)对辣椒籽油中的挥发性成分和脂肪酸成分的影响。在炒制时间为5 min,炒制温度低于140℃时,芳樟醇、月桂烯、双戊烯是辣椒籽油的主要香气物质,当温度高于140℃时,吡嗪类化合物和2-戊基呋喃是辣椒籽油的主要香气物质。在炒制温度为140℃,炒制时间为5 min时,辣椒籽油中的芳樟醇、月桂烯、双戊烯的含量分别达到最大值,随着炒制时间的增加,辣椒籽油中的2,3,5,6-甲基四吡嗪和2-戊基呋喃的含量在20 min时达到了最大值。辣椒籽油中主要的脂肪酸成分是棕榈酸(11.57%)、油酸(76.16%)和亚油酸(7.14%)。     

SENSORY EVALUATION OF CRUDE TOASTED CANOLA AND SESAME SEED OIL

'Alto'variety canola seed and yellow sesame seed were toasted at 180, 200, 220, 240 and 260C for 8 min and 10 min, respectively. Control oils from nontoasted seeds were also evaluated. Oils from ground canola and sesame seed were extracted with hexane at 25C for 10 h. Two ranking tests for odor preference were performed by a Korean panel. Among the canola oils, oil for seeds toasted at 240C was significantly better, and oil from seed toasted at 200C was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) worse than the others. Oils from sesame seed toasted at 220 and 260C were significantly better and untoasted and toasted sesame seed oil at 180C were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) worse than the other sesame seed oils. A second ranking test was performed to find the best oil among the canola and sesame seed oils. The toasted sesame seed oil at 260C was significantly better, and the toasted canola oil at 200C was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) worse. Among the other toasted oils, canola oil toasted at 240 and 260C and sesame seed oil toasted at 220 and 240C were not significantly different from each other. The ranking test showed that toasted canola oils were not significantly different from toasted sesame seed oils except toasted sesame seed oil at 260C.     

Determination of optimum processing conditions for hot‐air roasting of hulled sesame seeds using response surface methodology

Sesame paste (tahin) is produced by milling hulled, roasted, sesame seeds. In this study, a hot‐air roasting process for the production of sesame paste was optimised by response surface methodology (RSM) over a range of air temperatures (120–180 °C) for various times (30–60 min). The colour parameters (L, a and b values), browning index (BI), hardness, fracturability and moisture content of the seeds were used as response parameters to develop predictive models and optimise the roasting process. Increases in roasting temperature and time caused increases in the a and b values and in the BI. The hardness and fracturability of seeds also decreased with increasing roasting temperature and time. The quadratic and linear models developed by RSM adequately described the changes in the colour values and textural parameters, respectively. The result of RSM analysis showed that all colour parameters and textural parameters should be used to monitor the roasting of sesame seeds in a hot‐air roaster. To obtain the desired colour and texture, the optimum roasting range for production of sesame paste was determined as 155–170 °C for 40–60 min. Copyright © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry     

Assessment of contamination source and quality control approach for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in wood-pressed rapeseed oil

Contamination sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the raw material, oil production and storage processes of wood-pressed rapeseed oil were investigated in this study. The results showed that benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and PAH4 (sum of BaP, benzo[a]fluoranthene, benzo[b]fluoranthene and chrysene) were unevenly distributed in the kernel (0.56–0.98 and 2.84–8.64 μg/kg, respectively) and hull (1.53–3.17 and 13.49–22.31 μg/kg, respectively) of the rapeseed raw materials. The contents of BaP and PAH4 continuously increased during the process of wood-pressed rapeseed oil, ranging from 2.21 to 10.93 and 9.36 to 40.03 μg/kg, thus demonstrating that a wide range of pollution sources of PAHs existed for the test wood-pressed rapeseed oils. The initial temperature and time of roasting should be controlled at <210°C and <60 min, due to the generation of PAHs in rapeseed by over-roasting. In addition, contact tools and substance such as lubricating oil (from the mill), heat-transfer oil (from roasting machine), rubber gaskets and straws should be properly screened. The BaP and PAH4 of rapeseed placed in the roasting area increased from 0.5 to 2.24 and from 2.08 to 9.03 μg/kg, respectively. Therefore, roasting fume control and treatment systems are necessary and the roasting section should be strictly isolated from the other stages. Storage can slightly lower the PAHs amounts in the rapeseed oil, which made the contents of BaP and PAH4 decrease from 27.00 to 24.70 and from 138.63 to 117.58 μg/kg, respectively. Quality control measures of PAHs in wood-pressed rapeseed oil were proposed and implemented, and the final oil products’ BaP and PAH4 were kept below 2 and 10 μg/kg, respectively, which meets the European Commission Regulation No. 835/2011.     

Vitamin E and Oxidative Stability of Soya Bean Oil Prepared with Beans at Various Moisture Contents Roasted in a Microwave Oven

Whole soya beans ( Glycine max ) at various moistures (96, 382 and 519 g kg⁻¹) were roasted by exposure to microwaves at a frequency of 2450 MHz and the effects on the tocopherols of soya beans were studied in rela-tion to chemical changes in the oils. The amounts of α-, β-, γ- and δ-tocopherols in the soya beans before microwave treatments ranged from 62 to 187, 43 to 89, 673 to 757 and 542 to 593 mg kg⁻¹ oil, respectively. Increasing moisture contents by soaking prevented, not only the reduction of tocopherols but also, the oxidative deterioration of soya bean oils during microwave roasting. The amounts of tocopherols still remained >80% of the original level in soaked soya bean oils after 20 min of roasting, and microwave roasting after soaking caused no significant differences ( P> 0·05, with few exceptions) in the chemical changes of the oils in comparison with those before soaking. These results implied that microwave roasting after soaking would be effective in making full-fat soya flour with high vitamin E without a burnt odour and browning from raw beans.     

OXIDATIVE STABILITY OF EXTRACTED SESAME OIL FROM RAW AND PROCESSED SEEDS

Sesame oil was prepared from raw and processed seeds. Processing conditions were roasting at 200C for 20 min, steaming at 100C for 20 min, roasting at 200C for 15 min + steaming for 7 min and microwaving at 2450 MHz for 15 min. Oxidative stability of the resultant hexane-extracted oils was determined during storage under Schaal oven test conditions at 65C for up to 35 days. Methods employed included determination of fatty acid composition, iodine value (IV), peroxide value (PV), conjugated dienes (CD), para-ansidine value (p-AV) and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value. The oils from raw and roasted-steamed seeds had better oxidative stability than other processed oils. In addition, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to evaluate the extent of oxidation of sesame oils by measuring the relative changes of aliphatic to olefinic (R_ao) and aliphatic to diallylmethylene (R_ad) protons of the oils. A gradual increase in the (R_ao) and (R_ad) values was observed during the entire storage period.     

Roasting influences on molecular species of triacylglycerols in sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum)

Sesame seeds were roasted at different temperatures (180–220 °C) using a domestic electric oven. Molecular species and fatty acid distributions of triacylglycerols (TAGs) isolated from total lipids in the sesame seeds were analysed by a combination of argentation thin‐layer chromatography (TLC) and gas–liquid chromatography. A modified argentation TLC procedure, developed to optimise the separation of the complex mixture of total TAGs, provided 11 different groups of TAGs, based on both the degree of unsaturation and the total length of fatty acid groups. Fatty acid methyl ester analysis was performed to determine the composition of each zone. Eleven molecular species of TAGs were still detected in the sesame seeds following roasting treatment. Dilinoleolein (33.7–35.8%), palmitoleolinolein (20.3–22.8%), dioleolinolein (15.0–15.4%) and trilinolein (8.8–10.7%) were the main components during roasting. However, roasting for 10 min at 220 °C caused a significant decrease (P < 0.05) not only in molecular species containing more than four double bonds, but also in the amount of diene and triene species present in TAGs (with a few exceptions). These results suggest that no significant changes in molecular species or fatty acid distribution of TAGs would occur within 25 min of roasting at 180 °C, ensuring that a good‐quality product would be attained. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Optimization of Sesame Oil Extraction by Screw-Pressing at Low Temperature

Box-Behnken designs were used to optimize a process for sesame oil extraction by screw-pressing at low temperature (50 °C). Experimental designs included seed moisture content (SMC), pressing speed (PS), and restriction die (RD) as the main processing parameters. Extractions at pilot plant scale showed a peak in oil recovery (OR, 71.1 ± 2.80%) at 12.3% SMC, 4 mm RD, and 20 rpm PS. Theoretical models were scanned against experimental data in order to scale up the proposed oil extraction process to industrial scale. A fitted model for OR showed a maximum predicted value similar to the highest experimental value (74.4 ± 1.23%) under the following conditions: 8.03% SMC, 10 mm RD, and 20 rpm PS. Chemical quality parameters of oils obtained at both pilot and industrial scales were in the ranges stated in Codex (FAO/WHO) standards for non-refined sesame oil.     

Optimization of Hull‐Less Pumpkin Seed Roasting Conditions Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract: Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize hull‐less pumpkin seed roasting conditions before seed pressing to maximize the biochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of the virgin pumpkin oils obtained using a hydraulic press. Hull‐less pumpkin seeds were roasted for various lengths of time (30 to 70 min) at various roasting temperatures (90 to 130 °C), resulting in 9 different oil samples, while the responses were phospholipids content, total phenols content, α‐ and γ‐tocopherols, and antioxidative activity [by 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free‐radical assay]. Mathematical models have shown that roasting conditions influenced all dependent variables at P < 0.05. The higher roasting temperatures had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on phospholipids, phenols, and α‐tocopherols contents, while longer roasting time had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on γ‐tocopherol content and antioxidant capacity, among the samples prepared under different roasting conditions. The optimum conditions for roasting the hull‐less pumpkin seeds were 120 °C for duration of 49 min, which resulted in these oil concentrations: phospholipids 0.29%, total phenols 23.06 mg/kg, α‐tocopherol 5.74 mg/100 g, γ‐tocopherol 24.41 mg/100 g, and an antioxidative activity (EC₅₀) of 27.18 mg oil/mg DPPH. Practical Application: A well‐defined roasting process is very important for the food industry to be able to produce pumpkin seed oil with desirable nutritive and chemical characteristics of this unique salad oil, which changes during the roasting. This study contributes to the knowledge of a product design process for the roasting conditions of naked pumpkin seeds based on results that have demonstrated that an increase in roasting temperature significantly increased the biochemical values and antioxidant properties of the obtained virgin oils.     

Effects of oil roasting temperature and time on the quality of two Macadamia integrifolia cultivars

The effects of oil roasting temperature and time on the quality of kernels from two Macadamia integrifolia cultivars, were determined. A high quality product was obtained by roasting at 115°C for 19–35 min, 125°C for 10–14 min or 135°C for 4 min. There was a significant deterioration in the quality of nuts from all roasting treatments when stored for 6 months at ambient temperature in lacquered cans at a pressure of ?85 kPa. Further deterioration had occurred after 12 months storage.     

CHEMICAL CHANGES IN STORED TOASTED CRUDE CANOLA AND SESAME SEED OILS

'Alto'canola seed and sesame seed were toasted at 180, 200, 220, 240, and 260C, for 8 min or 10 min. As temperature increased, minor changes in fatty acid composition were observed. Darkness and blueness in canola oil increased with toasting temperatures up to 240C, and then decreased. The darkness, greenness and yellowness of sesame seed oil increased with increasing toasting temperature. The overall color of canola oil was significantly darker than that of sesame seed oil (α 0.05). 2-Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) numbers for both oils increased as toasting temperature increased. TBA numbers of the canola oil increased with extended storage time up to 4 weeks and then decreased. For sesame seed oil, TBA numbers also were influenced by storage time, but less change was observed than for canola oil. 2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content of canola oil was significantly higher than that for sesame seed oil when TBA numbers were compared to the same treatment.     

Lipid oxidation-related characteristics of gim bugak (Korean fried cuisine with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Porphyra</Emphasis>) affected by frying oil

The effect of frying oil on the lipid oxidation, antioxidants, and in vitro antioxidant activity of gim bugak was studied. Bugak was prepared by pan-frying at 180 °C in unroasted sesame, soybean, extra virgin olive, or palm oil. The degree of lipid oxidation based on conjugated dienoic acid and p-anisidine values was higher in the bugak fried in soybean or sesame oil with high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids and tocopherols. However, the oil oxidation was lower in olive and palm oils, which showed higher degradation of tocopherols and polyphenols than in sesame or soybean oil during frying. Although the bugak fried in palm oil contained less antioxidants than that fried in soybean or sesame oil, the in vitro antioxidant activity was not different (p > 0.05). Results suggest that palm oil can replace unroasted sesame oil for the preparation of gim bugak with improved lipid oxidative stability and health functionality.     

Impact of roasting conditions on the quality and acceptance of the peanut paste

Roasting is the main processing step performed to improve sensory and conservative properties of peanuts. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in peanut oil and paste during roasting at different temperatures in a conventional oven (80, 110, 140, 170, and 200°C) and microwave. The increase in roasting temperature promoted reduction of L* value, b* value, and increases of a*, K₂₃₂, K_270, and acidity. For alpha (α), gamma (γ), and delta (δ) tocopherols, as well as fatty acids, less degradation were observed at the roasting temperature of 140°C. Paste acceptability greater than 70% was achieved with roasting at 140°C. Based on the results, 140°C was the optimal roasting temperature that achieved the best paste acceptance rates with the smallest changes in oil and tocopherol quality parameters.     

Effects of high pressure treatment on physicochemical characteristics of fresh sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

The effects of high pressure (HP) treatment (pressure: 220–250–330 MPA; holding time: 5 and 10 min; temperature: 3, 7, 15 and 25°C) on physicochemical characteristics (colour, thiobarbituric acid, trimethylamine nitrogen values) of fresh sea bass fillets were investigated. HP-treated sea bass fillets had higher lightness (Hunter L*) values than untreated sea bass fillets; the magnitude of changes increased with treatment pressure. HP-induced changes in colour generally imparted a cooked sample. The TBA value of HP treated sea bass samples (except 220–330 MPa, 3°C for 5 min) were found to be insignificant (P > 0.05) or significantly (P < 0.05) lower than the untreated samples. TMA-N content of HP treated at 220–250–330 MPa, 3–7–25°C for 10 min sea bass samples were found to insignificant according to the untreated samples. The results obtained from this study showed that the quality of high pressure treated sea bass is best preserved at 220 MPa, 25°C for 5 min.
