Evolution of the oxidation process in olive oil triacylglycerol under accelerated storage conditions (40–60°C)

This paper presents an analysis of oxidation in olive oil TAG at different temperatures within a range of 40–60°C in darkness, as measured by the rate of formation of hydroperoxides, their decomposition products, and sensory and chemical flavor deterioration. At 60°C, the oxidation process was relatively fast, and all the indexes of the extent of oxidation behaved in a very similar way. The behaviors of the rate of formation of conjugated dienes (measured as the K ₂₃₂), of oxidized TAG (determined by HPLC), and of carbonyl compounds (measured as anisidine value) were very similar to that of the PV. The induction periods (IP) of the four indexes were less than 36 h. Nevertheless, the IP for K ₂₇₀ and the sum of oxidized TAG dimers and polymers were 5 d. At 50 and 40°C, the rate of formation of secondary oxidation products was lower. Residual linolenic acid or PUFA as determined by GC showed correlation coefficients higher than 0.999 with the Totox index at all of the assayed temperatures. The rancid recognition threshold corresponded to lower values of the oxidation indexes at lower temperature. Moreover, at all assayed temperatures, the rancidity threshold apparently coincided with the IP for the kinetics of 2,4-decadienal formation.     

Relationship between volatile compounds and sensory attributes of olive oils by the sensory wheel

Sixty-five volatile compounds and 103 sensory attributes were evaluated in 32 virgin olive oil samples from three different Mediterranean countries. Volatile compounds were analyzed with a dynamic headspace gas-chromatographic technique by using a thermal desorption cold-trap injector. The sensory analysis was conducted by six panels composed of assessors from the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Greece and Italy. Principal-components analysis of sensory attributes was used to construct a statistical sensory wheel that represents the whole virgin olive oil flavor matrix. This wheel is composed of seven sectors that show the basic perceptions produced by the oil: green, bitter-pungent, undesirable, ripe olives, ripe fruit, fruity and sweet. The boundaries of each sector were calculated from the circular standard deviation of its sensory attributes. The relationship between sensory and instrumental analysis was determined by projecting volatiles onto the sensory wheel. Correlations of each volatile with the first two components of the principal-components analysis were taken as its coordinates (x, y) in the sensory wheel. Volatiles took up the most appropriate place within the sector that corresponded with their perception, and often close to the sensory attributes that explained their sensory properties. A gas-chromatographic/sniffing method was applied to virgin olive oil samples to assess the aroma notes that corresponded to olive oil volatile compounds and to verify the relationships found by the sensory wheel procedure. Most (89%) of the volatiles were well classified. Use of the statistical sensory wheel as an appropriate method to relate volatile and sensory data was clearly demonstrated.     

Characteristics of Three Thioredoxin Genes and Their Role in Chilling Tolerance of Harvested Banana Fruit

Thioredoxins (Trxs) are small proteins with a conserved redox active site WCGPC and are involved in a wide range of cellular redox processes. However, little information on the role of Trx in regulating low-temperature stress of harvested fruit is available. In this study, three full-length Trx cDNAs, designated MaTrx6, MaTrx9 and MaTrx12, were cloned from banana (Musa acuminata) fruit. Phylogenetic analysis and protein sequence alignments showed that MaTrx6 was grouped to h2 type with a typical active site of WCGPC, whereas MaTrx9 and MaTrx12 were assigned to atypical cys his-rich Trxs (ACHT) and h3 type with atypical active sites of GCAGC and WCSPC, respectively. Subcellular localization indicated that MaTrx6 and MaTrx12 were located in the plasma membrane and cytoplasm, respectively, whereas MaTrx9 showed a dual cytoplasmic and chloroplast localization. Application of ethylene induced chilling tolerance of harvested banana fruit, whereas 1-MCP, an inhibitor of ethylene perception, aggravated the development of chilling injury. RT-qPCR analysis showed that expression of MaTrx12 was up-regulated and down-regulated in ethylene- and 1-MCP-treated banana fruit at low temperature, respectively. Furthermore, heterologous expression of MaTrx12 in cytoplasmic Trx-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain increased the viability of the strain under H₂O₂. These results suggest that MaTrx12 plays an important role in the chilling tolerance of harvested banana fruit, possibly by regulating redox homeostasis.     

Muscodor albus Volatiles Control Toxigenic Fungi under Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Storage Conditions

Muscodor albus, a biofumigant fungus, has the potential to control post-harvest pathogens in storage. It has been shown to produce over 20 volatile compounds with fungicidal, bactericidal and insecticidal properties. However, M. albus is a warm climate endophyte, and its biofumigant activity is significantly inhibited at temperatures below 5 °C. Conidia of seven mycotoxin producing fungi, Aspergillus carbonarius, A. flavus, A. niger, A. ochraceus, Penicillium verrucosum, Fusarium culmorum and F. graminearum, were killed or prevented from germinating by exposure to volatiles from 2 g M. albus-colonized rye grain per L of headspace in sealed glass jars for 24 h at 20 °C. Two major volatiles of M. albus, isobutyric acid (IBA) and 2-methyl-1-butanol (2MB) at 50 μL/L and 100 μL/L, respectively, gave differential control of the seven fungi when applied individually at 20 °C. When the fungi were exposed to both IBA and 2MB together, an average of 94% of the conidia were killed or suppressed. In a factorial experiment with controlled atmosphere storage (CA) at 3 °C and 72 h exposure to four concentrations of IBA and 2MB combinations, 50 μL/L IBA plus 100 μL/L 2MB killed or suppressed germination of the conidia of all seven fungi. Controlled atmosphere had no significant effect on conidial viability or volatile efficacy. Major volatiles of M. albus may have significant potential to control plant pathogens in either ambient air or CA storage at temperatures below 5 °C. However, combinations of volatiles may be required to provide a broader spectrum of control than individual volatiles.     

Sensory and oxidative quality of screw-pressed flaxseed oil

Cold-pressed flaxseed oil is an excellent source of dietary α-linolenic acid (ALA). However, breakdown of ALA in the oil, either in the seed before or during storage, or as a result of processing, may result in unacceptable flavors. Screw-pressed flaxseed oil from four seed lots and a commercial sample were analyzed for headspace volatiles (HV) by solid-phase microextraction; for nutty, painty, and bitter flavors; and for overall quality. HV and sensory analyses were performed after storage for 7 d at room temperature and again after 15 wk at 4°C. Marked, significant differences were observed between samples for painty and bitter flavors and overall quality, but only slight differences for nutty flavor (P<0.05). Samples remained stable between the two storage periods. HV traces showed distinct differences between samples in number of peaks and in peak heights. Areas under peaks corresponding to select retention times were positively correlated (P<0.01) with nutty, painty, and bitter flavors. Therefore, the HV analysis by solid-phase microextraction may be a useful tool for screening flaxseed lots to be used for the production of screw-pressed oil.     

Characterization of stored regular and low-linolenic canola oils at different levels of consumer acceptance

A ten-member trained sensory panel evaluated regular (RCO) and low-linolenic (LLCO) canola oils that had been stored at 60°C to four levels of consumer acceptance identified in a prior study. These levels were 70, 60, 50, and 40% acceptance for RCO and 80, 70, 60, and 50% acceptance LLCO. Painty odor intensity increased as consumer acceptance decreased. This same trend was found for chemical measurements of peroxide values, total volatiles, total carbonyls, unsaturated carbonyls, and dienals. These chemical indices were significantly correlated with each other, suggesting that they can be used to monitor related changes in oil quality with respect to lipid oxidation. Values for 19 individual volatiles at each consumer acceptance level were also reported. The data collected in this study provide chemical and sensory characterization of stored RCO and LLCO at distinct levels of consumer acceptance. Presented in part at the 84th Annual Meeting of the American Oil Chemists’ Society, Atlanta, Georgia, May 8–12, 1994.
