Comparison of Oxidative Stability among Edible Oils under Continuous Frying Conditions

The stability of camellia oil (saturated fatty acid: monounsaturated fatty acid: polyunsaturated fatty acid = 1:7:1) after frying potatoes was compared with palm oil (saturated fatty acid: monounsaturated fatty acid: polyunsaturated fatty acid = 4:4:1) and peanut oil (saturated fatty acid: monounsaturated fatty acid: polyunsaturated fatty acid = 2:4:4). Oil samples were evaluated for acid value, iodine value, peroxide value, p-anisidine value, total oxidation value, tocopherols content, and fatty acids composition. There was the least change in fatty acid composition in camellia oil among the three edible oils. The α-tocopherol was more vulnerable to heat degradation than γ-tocopherol and δ-tocopherol, and α-tocopherol was completely degraded before the whole frying process was done for palm and peanut oils. The oxidative stabilities of the three edible oils were in the order of camellia oil > palm oil > peanut oil. The oxidative stability was mainly determined by the calculated oxidizability value related to fatty acid composition, and when calculated oxidizability values were similar, the tocopherol contents of edible oils would be a key factor in affecting their oxidative stabilities.     

Prooxidant Activity of Oxidized α-Tocopherol in Vegetable Oils

ABSTRACT:  The effect of oxidized α-tocopherol on the oxidative stabilities of soybean, corn, safflower, and olive oils and the oxidation of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were studied. The 0, 650, 1300, and 2600 ppm oxidized α-tocopherol were added to soybean, corn, safflower, and olive oils and 10000 ppm oxidized α-tocopherol to the mixture of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. Samples in the gas-tight vials were stored in the dark for 6 or 35 d at 55 °C. The oxidative stabilities of oils were determined by headspace oxygen with GC and peroxide value. Fatty acids were determined by GC. As the concentration of oxidized α-tocopherol in soybean, corn, safflower, and olive oils increased, the depletion of headspace oxygen and the peroxide values of oils increased during storage. The prooxidant effects of oxidized α-tocopherol on soybean and corn oils with about 55% linoleic acid were greater than those on safflower and olive oils with about 12% linoleic acid, respectively ( P  < 0.05). The changes of fatty acids during storage showed that the oxidation ratios of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were 1 : 2 : 3, 1 : 12 : 26, and 1 : 8 : 16 after 5, 30, and 35 d of storage, respectively. The oxidation of α-tocopherol in oil should be prevented and the oxidized α-tocopherol should be removed to improve the oxidative stability of oils.     

Chemical Properties and Oxidative Stability of Perilla Oils Obtained From Roasted Perilla Seeds As Affected by Extraction Methods

Abstract: The chemical properties and oxidative stability of perilla oils obtained from roasted perilla seeds as affected by extraction methods (supercritical carbon dioxide [SC‐CO₂], mechanical press, and solvent extraction) were studied. The SC‐CO₂ extraction at 420 bar and 50 °C and hexane extraction showed significantly higher oil yield than mechanical press extraction (P < 0.05). The fatty acid compositions in the oils were virtually identical regardless of the extraction methods. The contents of tocopherol, sterol, policosanol, and phosphorus in the perilla oils greatly varied with the extraction methods. The SC‐CO₂‐extracted perilla oils contained significantly higher contents of tocopherols, sterols, and policosanols than the mechanical press‐extracted and hexane‐extracted oils (P < 0.05). The SC‐CO₂‐extracted oil showed the greatly lower oxidative stability than press‐extracted and hexane‐extracted oils during the storage in the oven under dark at 60 °C. However, the photooxidative stabilities of the oils were not considerably different with extraction methods.     

Effect of refining on the lignan content and oxidative stability of oil pressed from roasted sesame seed

Oxidative stability of pressed and refined sesame oils during seven consecutive months of storage at room temperature was studied comparatively. Lignans, peroxide value (PV), p‐anisidine value (AV) and total oxidation value (TOTOX) were determined as evaluation indices. PV, AV and TOTOX of sunflower, corn and peanut oils were simultaneously monitored to compare their oxidative storage stabilities with the sesame oils. The total amount of lignans in the pressed and refined sesame oils were 1103 and 790 mg per 100 g respectively. The contents of sesamin and sesemolin in the pressed sesame oil were 734 and 369 mg per 100 g respectively. Sesamin and sesamolin content were reduced by 256 and 159 mg per 100 g, respectively, after refining. Nearly 40% of the sesamin epimerised to asarinin after oil refining. The results indicate that sesame oils pressed from roasted seed have far superior storage stability to oxidation than the other vegetable oils. This difference may be due to much higher sesamin and sesamolin contents in the pressed sesame oils. The results suggest lignan compositions and levels could be used as key indicators for evaluating the oxidative storage stability of sesame oil products as well as to differentiate between pressed and refined sesame oils.     

Oxidation stability and compositional characteristics of oils from microwave roasted pumpkin seeds during thermal oxidation

The oxidative stability and compositional characteristics of the pumpkin seed oil (PSO) exposed to microwaves were studied during heating at 170°C. The oxidative indices such as free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (p-AV), TOTOX, specific extinctions and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value of oils were significantly increased, and the increments were found to be significantly higher (P < 0.05) in unroasted seed oil as compared to roasted seed oil. The relative contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were decreased to 84.7%, and saturated fatty acids (SFAs) were increased to 119.5% in unroasted sample, after 9 h of heating. On the other hand, in 12 min roasted samples, the relative contents of PUFAs were decreased to 97.0%, and SFAs were increased to 102.6% after 9 h of heating. The triacylglycerol species LLL and OLL levels were decreased as a consequence of increased heating time, and the reduction tended to be significantly higher in unroasted samples as compared to roasted ones. The oxidation products formed were also investigated by FTIR. The present results indicated that microwave roasting of pumpkin seeds markedly enhanced the oxidative stability of the oils during heating.     

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.     

Effects of Dietary Oils and α-Tocopherol Supplementation on Lipid Composition and Stability of Broiler Meat

Broilers were fed diets containing oils of varying degrees of unsaturation, namely coconut oil, olive oil, linseed oil and partially hydrogenated soybean oil (HSBO), with and without α-tocopherol supplementation. The different oils significantly (P<0.01) affected the fatty acid composition of the neutral lipids and, to a lesser extent, the fatty acid composition of the phopholipids. Fatty acid composition, in turn, influenced the oxidative stability of the meat during refrigerated and frozen storage. Meat from broilers fed olive oil or coconut oil was consistently more stable than meat from the linseed oil group. Dietary supplementation with α-tocopherol significantly (P<0.01) improved the oxidative stability of the dark and white broiler meat during refrigerated and frozen storage compared to meat from the broilers fed HSBO.     

EFFECT OF PROCESSING ON CONSTITUENTS AND OXIDATIVE STABILITY OF MARINE OILS

Changes in the contents of neutral and polar lipids, α-tocopherol, free fatty acids and color of seal blubber oil (SBO) and cod liver oil (CLO) during different processing steps of alkali-refining, bleaching, and deodorization were monitored. Refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) SBO and CLO contained approximately 39 and 71% less polar lipids than their crude counterparts, respectively. There was also a reduction of 98.5 and 97.4% in the corresponding free fatty acids content of RBD-SBO and RBD-CLO. The content of α-tocopherol in both oils decreased during processing, especially at the bleaching and deodorization steps. The oxidative stability of SBO and CLO following each processing step was determined by measuring peroxide and 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values. Results so obtained indicated that crude oils were most stable while their refined-bleached counterparts were least stable, perhaps due to the removal of endogenous natural antioxidants such as α-tocopherol during processing of oils.

Fatty Acid Composition and Oxidative Stability of Cold-pressed Edible Seed Oils

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to determine the fatty acid (FA) compositions and oxidative stabilities of cold-pressed cranberry, carrot, hemp, and caraway seed oils. The cold-pressed cranberry and hemp seed oils exhibited higher α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) contents with levels of 22 and 19 g/100 g fatty acids, respectively. Cold-pressed carrot seed oil contained about 82% oleic acid and had the lowest total saturated fatty acids among all tested oils. Cold-pressed caraway seed oil had the greatest oxidative stability with an OSI value of 150 hours. In addition, cold-pressed carrot seed oil had the lightest color while hemp seed oil was the darkest among all the oils tested.     

Microencapsulation of Squid Oil with Hydrophilic Macromolecules for Oxidative and Thermal Stabilization

The oxidative and thermal stabilities of unencapsulated and encapsulated squid oils were compared by polyene ratio, DSC-FTIR and pressure DSC. Wall material containing gelatin, caseinate and maltodextrin provided optima1 protection against oxidation. Stability was improved when lecithin and Avicel were part of the wall material. The synergistic effects of lecithin with naturally occurring α-tocopherol and the compact structures of microcapsules enhanced stability. Stability of squid oil microcapsules decreased when α-tocopherdl was removed by alumina chromatography. Both DSC-FTIR and pressure DSC were suitable for evaluating oxidative and thermal stability of encapsulated oil products.     

EFFECTS OF PROCESSING AND SQUALENE ON COMPOSITION AND OXIDATIVE STABILITY OF SEAL BLUBBER OIL

Effects of processing on constituents of seal blubber oil and that of squalene on oxidative stability of several oils were monitored. The content of α-tocopherol in oil decreased during processing, especially at the bleaching and deodorization steps. There was also a concurrent reduction in the contents of squalene and free fatty acids, especially during deodorization. Oils treated with squalene did not show any improved oxidative stability and in some cases were even less stable.     

Antioxidative Effect of Ascorbic Acid Solubilized in Oils via Reversed Micelles

Ascorbic acid was solubilized in oils via reversed micelles using phosphatidyl choline as surfactant and water. The effect of the solubilized ascorbic acid on the oxidative stability of fish and soybean oils was investigated in terms of peroxide value in the absence and presence of rosemary extract or δ-tocopherol. The autoxidation of the oils was greatly retarded with the ascorbic acid compared to the natural antioxidants used. The ascorbic acid also exerted a synergistic effect with δ-tocopherol in fish oil.

Evaluation of oxidative stability of vegetable oils by monitoring the tendency to radical formation. A comparison of electron spin resonance spectroscopy with the Rancimat method and differential scanning calorimetry

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR), based upon the spin trapping technique, was applied at 60 °C for evaluating the oxidative stability of 11 vegetable oil samples, including sunflower oil, rapeseed oil and their mixtures. The ESR results were compared with the oxidative stability values provided by the Rancimat method and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at 100 °C. High linear correlations were found between ESR and Rancimat (r=0.963), and between ESR and DSC (r=0.979), suggesting that ESR can predict the oxidative stabilities provided by the Rancimat method, as well as by DSC, within a wide range of stability values. In order to examine the capability of each method to evaluate antioxidant activity, different concentrations of α-tocopherol were tested in purified sunflower oil and purified rapeseed oil. Minor differences among the three methods were found when low concentrations of α-tocopherol were used, whereas similar responses were obtained at the highest antioxidant concentration assayed. In comparison with the Rancimat method and DSC, the ESR method is concluded to be useful as a method employing milder conditions and shorter time, and which can be applied for the evaluation of oxidative stability of oils containing volatile antioxidants and other lipid systems containing water.     

Synergism of phosphatidylcholine on the antioxidant properties of α‐tocopherol in corn oils under different relative humidity

The effects of phosphatidylcholine on the antioxidant properties of α‐tocopherol (84 ppm) were determined in stripped corn oil with various moisture contents at 60 °C. The degree of oxidation in the oils was determined by analysing headspace oxygen content and conjugated dienoic acids (CDA). Generally, phosphatidylcholine acted as an antioxidant in stripped corn oils, whereas it accelerated the rate of lipid oxidation in nonstripped corn oils. As the relative humidity and moisture content increased, the antioxidant properties of phosphatidylcholine increased significantly (P < 0.05). Strong synergistic antioxidant effects were observed in samples containing both phosphatidylcholine and α‐tocopherol compared to samples with only phosphatidylcholine or α‐tocopherol. Oils containing phosphatidylcholine or α‐tocopherol under different moisture contents had different oxidative stabilities.     

Influence of technology,storage and exposure on components of extra virgin olive oil (Bosana cv) from whole and de-stoned fruits

We investigated the influence of technology, storage and exposure on quality parameters, minor components, oxidative stability and antioxidant activity in two extra virgin olive oils of Bosana cv, obtained from whole (WO) and de-stoned fruits (DO), processed with a two-phase decanter. DO oils showed great stability and, consequently, had a longer shelf-life than WO oils. During storage, the former maintained lower values of free acidity, higher values of chlorophylls, carotenoids and α-tocopherol, longer oxidative stability and higher antioxidant activity than the latter. Peroxide indices were not significantly different between the two oils, while spectrophotometric indices, during storage, increased more in DO oils than in WO oils. The total phenol content behaviour patterns during storage were very similar in both oil samples, with a higher value in WO oils. Exposure to light significantly decreased the chlorophylls, carotenoid, phenol, α-tocopherol and stability values, as expected, but antioxidant activity was not influenced by exposure conditions.     

不同食用油氧化稳定性比较研究

为了比较不同食用油的氧化稳定性,选取紫苏油、亚麻籽油、核桃油、菜籽油和芝麻油5种食用油为原料,以烘箱法为对照,分别采用涂膜法和模拟法以过氧化值和酸值为考察指标对其氧化稳定性进行评价,并对其氧化过程中的脂肪酸组成变化进行探讨。结果表明:5种食用油氧化稳定性从高到低依次为:芝麻油菜籽油核桃油亚麻籽油紫苏油;在氧化初期,多不饱和脂肪酸含量减少,单不饱和脂肪酸含量和饱和脂肪酸含量有不同程度的增加,多不饱和脂肪酸含量对食用油氧化稳定性具有明显的影响,特别是亚麻酸含量;在评价氧化稳定性的方法中,烘箱法操作简便但无法反映氧化实际情况,涂膜法检测过程高效且实时,模拟法可反映食用油在使用中的实际氧化过程。     

Oxidative and thermal stabilities of genetically modified high oleic sunflower oil

The oxidative and thermal stabilities of genetically modified high oleic sunflower oil (87% oleic acid) were compared with those of regular sunflower (17% oleic acid), soybean, corn, and peanut oils during storage at 55 °C and simulated deep fat frying at 185 °C. Oxidative stability was evaluated by measuring the oxygen content and volatile compounds in the sample bottle headspace and peroxide value. The coefficient variations (CVs) for volatile compound, headspace oxygen, and peroxide value analyses were 2.02%, 1.41%, and 3.18%, respectively. The oxidative stability of high oleic sunflower oil was greater than those of regular sunflower and soybean oil (P < 0.05) and as good as those of corn and peanut oils (P > 0.05). The thermal stabilities of oils during deep fat frying were evaluated by measuring the infrared absorption at 2.9 μm and conjugated diene content. The CV of conjugated diene content was 1.07%. Infrared and conjugated diene results showed that the high oleic sunflower oil had greater thermal stability than had regular sunflower, soybean, corn, and peanut oils (P < 0.05). The genetically modified high oleic sunflower oil, with 5.5% linoleic acid, had better oxidative and thermal stabilities than had the regular sunflower oil with 71.6% linoleic acid.
