Zusammenhänge zwischen Fettoxidation und Antioxidantienzulagen im Mischfutter

Relations Between Fat Oxidation and Antioxidative Additives in Mixed Feeding Stuff Storage experiments with various mixtures of feeding stuffs were carried out. The influence of single factors on fat stability in test mixtures should be tested. The type of fat (refined soya bean oil, free fatty acids from soya bean oil raffination) fat content (3, 6, 9%), antioxidants (BHA, TBHQ), amount of anti oxidants (0 - 50 - 100 - 150 mg/kg feeding stuff), storage temperature (4, 14, 24°C) and storage period (6 - 12 - 24 weeks) were varied. The peroxide value (POZ) and the remaining amounts of antioxidants were used as parameters for the determination of the fat oxidation. The test results showed a some what enlarged stability of the fatty acids of soya bean oil raffination compared with refined soya bean oil in presence of anti oxidants. The stabilising effect of TBHQ was higher than that of BHA, but the consumption of antioxidants was lower with BHA than with TBHQ. With increasing amounts of antioxidants the stability of the fat was enlarged. The stability was lowered with rising storage temperature. Increasing storage period gives rise to a considerable increase in oxidation.     

Effect of antioxidants on the oxidative stability of methyl soyate (biodiesel)

Biodiesel, an alternative diesel fuel derived from transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats, is composed of saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acid alkyl esters. When exposed to air during storage, autoxidation of biodiesel can cause degradation of fuel quality by adversely affecting properties such as kinematic viscosity, acid value and peroxide value. One approach for increasing resistance of fatty derivatives against autoxidation is to treat them with oxidation inhibitors (antioxidants). This study examines the effectiveness of five such antioxidants, tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate (PrG) and α-Tocopherol in mixtures with soybean oil fatty acid methyl esters (SME). Antioxidant activity in terms of increasing oxidation onset temperature (OT) was determined by non-isothermal pressurized-differential scanning calorimetry (P-DSC). Analyses were conducted in static (zero gas flow) and dynamic (positive gas flow) mode under 2000 kPa (290 psig) pressure and 5 °C/min heating scan rate. Results showed that PrG, BHT and BHA were most effective and α-Tocopherol least effective in increasing OT. Increasing antioxidant loading (concentration) showed sharp increases in activity for loadings up to 1000 ppm followed by smaller increases in activity at higher loadings. Phase equilibrium studies were also conducted to test physical compatibility of antioxidants in SME-No. 2 diesel fuel (D2) blends. Overall, this study recommends BHA or TBHQ (loadings up to 3000 ppm) for safeguarding biodiesel from effects of autoxidation during storage. BHT is also suitable at relatively low loadings (210 ppm after blending). PrG showed some compatibility problems and may not be readily soluble in blends with larger SME ratios. Although α-Tocopherol showed very good compatibility in blends, it was significantly less effective than the synthetic antioxidants screened in this work.     

Chemical changes in the lipids of canola and flax seeds during storage

The changes in acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), anisidine value (AnV), tocopherols and fatty acid composition in crushed flax, canola seeds or commercial poultry feed during a 60-day storage period in room temperature (RT) or cold room (CR) were examined. Storage at RT or CR increased AV, PV and AnV of flax and canola seeds. Regardless of storage condition, a 50% reduction in the content of tocopherols was observed in flax, canola and commercial feed samples at day-30 of storage. The changes in the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids were negligible during storage. These results may have implication in the storage and handling of animal feeds containing n-3-polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich oil seeds.     

Effect of selected antioxidants on the stability of virgin olive oil

Virgin unrefined olive oil was protected from oxidation with the antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) and in one case propyl gallate (PG). All the antioxidants improved the stability of olive oil under accelerated conditions (oven test) and storage conditions at 50 C. In the oven test, where the type of oil used was the same as that used in long-term storage studies (room temperature and 50 C) the relative inhibition effect of the antioxidants was in the following order: TBHQ = BHA > BHT. The combinations of BHA and BHT with TBHQ displayed better stabilizing qualities. Antioxidants did not prevent peroxide formation in olive oil stored at room temperature in daylight; these samples oxidized to a high degree, probably due to the catalytic action of chlorophyll. Citric acid (CA) used alone did not affect the oxidative stability of the oil in the oven test and at room temperature in the dark, but exhibited a negative effect at 50 C. The reduction in peroxide content with teritary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) in the dark at 50 C was greater than anticipated from the oven studies. Potency of the antioxidants under these conditions (50 C) was in the following order: TBHQ> BHT > BHA. The combinations of BHA 0.01% or BHT 0.01% with TBHQ 0.005% used in the dark at 50 C were less effective than TBHQ 0.01%.     

Changes in Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. oil quality during microwave heating

The changes in some physical and chemical characteristics of Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. oil during microwave heating were investigated. This oil was subjected to heating at three power settings (160, 750 and 900 W) for three different exposure durations (5, 10 and 20 min). The changes in physical characteristics were studied in comparison to the changes in several chemical characteristics. The physical evaluation of the oil was based on viscosity and ultraviolet absorption, whereas chemical evaluation was based on free fatty acid content, peroxide and anisidine values, fatty acid composition and C18:2/C16:0 ratio. The experimental results showed a significant increase (p <0.05) in chemical and physical characteristics with heating power setting and exposure duration. Changes also appeared in oil fatty acid composition.     

Quality of Crude Oil Extracted from Aging Walleye Pollock (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Theragra chalcogramma</Emphasis>) Byproducts

The quality of crude oil was examined as a function of the temperature and delay time between collecting and processing the fish byproducts from a commercial cannery into crude oil. Extracts from pollock byproducts stored at 6 and 15 °C for up to 4 and 10 days was examined. Longer storage of byproducts resulted in higher free fatty acid (FFA) and an increase in retinol levels in the extracted crude oils. Primary and secondary oxidation assays consisting of peroxide value and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances increased initially with storage time on day 1 followed by an unexpected decrease with storage time. Higher storage temperature resulted in greater FFA and retinol levels, but lower oxidation products in the crude oils. The tocopherol levels decreased with storage time of the byproducts with no differences between the storage temperatures. Eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids percentage remained similar in the extracted oils with the respective storage time or temperature treatments.     

Effect of packaging materials on storage stability of crude palm oil

Lacquered metal cans, green glass bottles, amber glass bottles, clear glass bottles and clear plastic bottles filled with freshly produced Nigerian crude palm oil were stored in direct sunlight (40±1°C) and in the dark (27±1°C). Assessment of the stability of the oils towards hydrolytic and oxidative deterioration was made periodically by measuring the free fatty acid, peroxide and anisidine values over a period of 98 days. The study showed that crude palm oil packaged in plastic bottles and clear glass bottles recorded higher total oxidation values than oils packaged in either lacquered metal cans or amber and green glass bottles. Lacquered metal cans gave the greatest protection against oxidation. Oxidation proceeded faster in cases where the packaging materials were stored in direct sunlight.     

Oxidative Stability of Microencapsulated Kenaf Seed Oil Using Co-extrusion Technology

This study investigates the effect of microencapsulation (via co‐extrusion technology using high methoxyl pectin‐enhanced alginate as a shell formulation) on the storage stability and antioxidant properties of kenaf seed oil. Microencapsulated kenaf seed oil (MKSO) and unencapsulated oil were stored at 25 °C for 28 days and at 65 °C for 24 days. The oils were then subjected to stability and quality evaluation based on peroxide, p‐anisidine, and total oxidation values, conjugated diene and triene levels, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, free fatty acids, total phenolic content, and the radical scavenging activity assays of 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl and 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulphonic acid). The results showed that there was a significant increase (p < 0.05) in oxidation and a significant decrease (p < 0.05) of antioxidant activity in the unencapsulated oil while oxidation changes generally occurred more slowly in MKSO. It was demonstrated that the current microencapsulation method is a feasible approach to enhance oxidative stability of kenaf seed oil.     

Effect of fruit storage conditions on olive oil quality

"Koroneiki" olive fruit from trees grown in Crete were stored under five different conditions (0°C, air; 5°C, air; 5°C, 2% O₂+5% CO₂; 7.5°C, air; 7.5°C, 2% O₂+5% CO₂). Oil was obtained from fruit immediately after harvest and after fruit storage for 30 and 60 d. Olive oil quality was evaluated by determining acidity, peroxide value, absorption coefficients (K₂₃₂, K₂₇₀), phenol and chlorophyll content, fatty acid composition, and the resistance to oxidation by oven test. Olives stored at 7.5°C, even for 30 d, deteriorated from fungus development, and the obtained oil was of inferior quality with high acidity, peroxide value, and absorption coefficients. The same oil had high chlorophyll and phenol content, resulting in good oil resistance to oxidation. Olive oil from fruit stored at 0 or 5°C for 30 d had acceptable acidity, peroxide value, and absorption coefficients, but showed low resistance to oxidation, which was attributed to low chlorophyll and phenol content. This condition is further attributed to chilling injury caused by low storage temperatures. During storage, all treatments resulted in an increase of oleic acid, partly as a result of linoleic acid oxidation.     

Palm olein quality parameter changes during industrial production of potato chips

New legislation introduced in South Africa for the quality of used frying oils has resulted in the need to identify quicker, more suitable methods that correlate well with results from two official methods, namely, total polymerized glycerides and total polar components. Oil and product samples were taken at regular intervals during a commercial frying process in palm olein. Oil samples were analyzed for a number of different quality parameters viz. tocopherol content, dielectric constant, total polymerized glycerides, total polar components, tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) content, anisidine value, Rancimat induction period, and free fatty acid content, and the results statistically compared to results from official methods. Oil was expressed from product stored under accelerated conditions and analyzed for the same quality parameters. Fried product was also subjected to sensory evaluation to measure the degree of oil deterioration and sensory preference. The frying trial was successfully executed with refined, bleached, and deodorized palm olein and the frying oil used to a free fatty acid (FFA) content of 0.41%. Oil and product sampling were done at different FFA value levels. Frying oil quality was verified at the onset of the trial and at regular intervals. The frying oil total polar component value increased to approximately half of the limit set by the official regulation. This point was reached mainly due to the high starting value of the fresh oil. Frying oil total polymerized glycerides increased from below 1% to 2.1%. This increase is negligible when compared to the general trend for polyunsaturated oils. The alternative laboratory methods used for predicting oil quality can be rated as follows: total tocopherol content >dielectric constant >FFA >TBHQ content >anisidine value >Rancimat induction period. The first three methods correlated well with total polar component levels and it is recommended that the dielectric constant and FFA measurements be applied for monitoring oil condition during frying. It is possible that viscosity changes could be used for the monitoring of polyunsaturated frying oils. Evaluation of oil extracted from product revealed a negligible effect of non-oil components on oil quality parameters. The same was observed when product was stored at −10°C and at 37°C.     

Synergistic Effects of Antioxidants on the Oxidative Stability of Soybean Oil- and Poultry Fat-Based Biodiesel

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel composed of saturated and unsaturated methyl ester fatty acids that is very prone to oxidation attack. Exposure to air, heat, light, and metallic contaminants can lead to autoxidation, and the degradation of fuel properties such as kinematic viscosity and total acid number. This study examines the effectiveness of blends of primary antioxidants from combinations of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), propyl gallate (PG), pyrogallol (PY) and tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) to increase oxidative stability. Results indicate that binary antioxidant formulations: TBHQ:BHA, TBHQ:PG and TBHQ:PY were most effective at 2:1, 1:1, 2:1 weight ratio, respectively in both distilled soybean oil- (DSBO) and distilled poultry fat- (DPF) based biodiesel. Antioxidant activity increased as the loadings were increased. The synergisms of the antioxidant pairs were different with different biodiesel types, suggesting a dependence on the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) composition. The best synergistic effect was observed with the TBHQ:BHA blends while the best stabilization factors (SF) were achieved by using the TBHQ:PY blends. Quantification of antioxidant content in stored biodiesel with TBHQ:PY blend demonstrates that the main factor of synergy is the regeneration of PY by TBHQ.     

Effects of storage conditions on lipid oxidation in infant formulas based on several protein sources

The time course of several lipid oxidation parameters in infant formulas was the main focus of this study. Infant formulas based on different protein sources (milk protein, isolated soy protein, and hydrolyzed milk protein) were stored at different temperatures (32 and 55°C) in sealed containers in air for 1 yr. Levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and 7-ketocholesterol, and losses of essential fatty acids and tocopherols were measured to monitor lipid oxidation. Tocopherol losses and 7-ketocholesterol concentrations were better lipid oxidation parameters than the others. Their concentration and losses depended on type of infant formula, storage temperature, and time.     

Oxidative and flavor stabilities of soybean oils with low-and ultra-low-linolenic acid composition

The effects of linolenic acid (18∶3) concentration, combined with TBHQ addition, temperature, and storage time, on the oxidative and flavor stabilities of soybean oils (SBO) were evaluated. During storage under fluorescent light at both 21 and 32°C, the SBO with ultra-low-18∶3 concentration (1.0%, ULSBO) generally had greater oxidative stability than did SBO with low-18∶3 concentration (2.2%, LLSBO). The ULSBO had about half the p-anisidine value of LLSBO throughout storage. Although the ULSBO initially had significantly greater PV and poorer (lower) sensory scores for overall flavor quality than did LLSBO, significant differences disappeared with storage. The ULSBO had a lower content of polar compounds and greater oil stability indices than did LLSBO when TBHQ was present. All oils were more oxidatively stable with TBHQ addition, but the TBHQ addition did not result in improved flavor stability early in storage. In all tests, oils stored at 32°C were less stable than oils stored at 21°C. The TBHQ had a better antioxidant capacity when the 18∶3 concentration was lower. The retardation effect of TBHQ on lipid oxidation and the improved stability of ULSBO over LLSBO were more easily detected when the storage temperature was higher.     

Efficacy of myricetin as an antioxidant in methyl esters of soybean oil

The antioxidant activity of myricetin, a natural flavonol found in fruits and vegetables, was determined in soybean oil methyl esters (SME) and compared with α‐tocopherol and tert‐butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) over a 90‐day period employing EN 14112, acid value, and kinematic viscosity methods. Myricetin had greater antioxidant activity than α‐tocopherol, but was inferior to TBHQ. Synergism was observed between myricetin and TBHQ, but antagonism between α‐tocopherol and either myricetin or TBHQ was discovered. A binary mixture of myricetin and TBHQ at 1000 ppm (1:1) was the most effective treatment investigated at inhibiting oxidation of SME. Myricetin was not completely soluble in SME at 1000 ppm, suggesting that 500 ppm is a more appropriate treatment level. Pro‐oxidant activity of α‐tocopherol was observed when added to SME obtained from crude soybean oil, but antioxidant behavior was observed in distilled SME. Addition of α‐tocopherol to methyl esters initially free of antioxidants revealed that 600–700 ppm was the optimum concentration for antioxidant activity. Acid value and kinematic viscosity remained within prescribed specifications after 90 days, despite failure of a number of samples with regard to EN 14112, suggesting that these parameters are insufficient as sole indicators of oxidation stability.     

Storage effect in the quality of different methyl esters and blends with diesel

Storage stability is an important aspect in the commercialization of biodiesel. Due to the chemical structure of methyl ester, long-term storage may lead to the degradation of fuel properties that can make it difficult to meet the EN 14214 Standard.This paper examines the degradation of several biofuels (sunflower methyl esters, used cooking oil methyl esters and blends with commercial diesel) under different storage conditions over a 6-month period. The storage conditions simulated real-life conditions by using similar temperatures to those found in commercial tanks, with little air turnover and in the absence of light. Extreme temperature conditions were also studied to determine if this variable has an effect on storage stability. Opaque glass or stainless steel storage containers were used to check the interaction between metal and biofuel.The results show that temperature plays an important role in the degradation of methyl esters. On the other hand, stainless steel was found to be a suitable material for the commercial storage tanks as the effect of this material on stability was almost negligible. The blends with commercial diesel performed better in long-term storage. This was probably due to the effect of the ester dilution and the presence of additives in commercial diesel.     

Effectiveness of antioxidants in refined,bleached and deodorized palm olein

The addition of antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate (PG), tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), dilaurylthiodipropionate (DLTDP), and trihydroxybutyrophenone (THBP) at a level of 200 ppm to refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD) palm olein resulted in the retardation of the oxidative deterioration of the oil when stored at 60 C for a period of 10 weeks. The extent of oxidative deterioration was determined by measuring the peroxide and anisidine values and E _{1 cm} ^1% at 232 nm and 268 nm of the oil. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) proved to be a relatively ineffective antioxidant, whereas TBHQ afforded the most protection for the RBD olein.     

Effects of lipid oxidation on fish lipids — amylopectin interactions

The results of studies on fish lipid oxidation effects on lipid‐amylopectin starch interactions are presented. Particular attention is paid to fish lipid availability (extractability from the system) and fatty acid contributions to individual lipid groups after mixing‐provoked interaction and after a 30‐day storage at —18 °C. The study involved model systems containing fish lipids at different levels of oxidation, lipids containing an antioxidant (BHA), and gelatinised amylopectin starch in a 10% aqueous solution. The lipid to starch ratio was 1:1. The test systems were subjected to selective extraction. The extracts were assayed for lipid content, peroxide value, anisidine value, fluorescence, and fatty acid composition. Compared to fresh fish lipids, those lipids, which were oxidised to a higher extent were shown to be more amenable to complexing with amylopectin, but they were also more readily released during frozen storage. On the other hand, addition of BHA stabilised the lipid‐amylopectin starch interaction during storage at —18 °C. In the entire systems tested, polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in particular, proved to be most susceptible to binding, up to 90% of the latter being complexed.     

Chemical and sensory characteristics of stored menhaden oil/ soybean oil blends

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of increasing the consumption of dietary ω-3 fatty acids by incorporating menhaden oil into a French-type salad dressing. Menhaden/soybean oil blends of 10, 20 and 30% menhaden oil (w/w) were used to prepare an emulsified French salad dressing. The oil blends and salad dressings were stored at 22°C in the dark for 20 wk. The fatty acid profile, peroxide value, and anisidine value were determined. The salad dressings also were evaluated by a sensory panel for flavor, aroma, and aftertaste. The ω-3 fatty acids were stable over time under these storage conditions. Peroxide values rose slowly and consistently over time reaching higher values when more menhaden oil was added. Peroxide values were also higher in the oil blends which were stored with air in the headspace and not flushed with argon. Anisidine values also were higher with each addition of menhaden oil but did not change over time except for the 100% menhaden oil which was stored in air. After eight weeks the sensory panel rated the salad dressing which contained menhaden oil as lower than the ones which did not contain menhaden oil. While a significant amount of ω-3 fatty acids may be incorporated into foods by the addition of menhaden oil, the development over time of off-flavors must be controlled.     

Oxidative stability of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) and niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) crude seed oils upon stripping

Information on stability of edible oils is important for predicting the quality deterioration of the oil during storage and marketing. Stripping of crude oils removes most of non‐triacylglycerol components, including polar lipids and phenolics. Oxidative stability of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) and niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) crude and stripped seed oils was investigated and compared. The factors influencing the oxidative stability of different seed oils were also discussed. Oil samples were stored under accelerated oxidation conditions for 21 d. The progress of oxidation at 60 °C was followed by recording the ultraviolet absorptivity and measuring the formation of oxidative products (peroxide and p‐anisidine values). Inverse relationships were noted between peroxide values and oxidative stabilities and also between secondary oxidation products, measured by p‐anisidine value and stabilities at termination of the storage. Absorptivity at 232 nm and 270 nm increased gradually with the increase in time, due to the formation of conjugated dienes and polyenes. In general, oxidative stabilities of crude oils were stronger than their stripped counterparts and the order of oxidative stability was as follows: coriander > black cumin > niger seed. Levels of polar lipids in crude oils correlated with oxidative stability. Thus, the major factor that may contribute to the better oxidative stability of crude oils was the carry‐over of their polar lipids.     

Storage stability of margarines produced from enzymatically interesterified fats compared to those prepared by conventional methods – Chemical properties

In this study, four margarine hardstocks were produced, two from enzymatically interesterified fats at 80 and 100% conversion, one from chemically randomized fat and one from physically mixed fat. These four hardstocks, blended with 50% sunflower oil, were mainly used for the production of table margarines in a pilot plant. Storage stability studies were carried out at storage temperatures of 5 and 25 °C for 12 wk. Margarines from the enzymatically interesterified fats were compared to the margarines produced by the conventional methods (chemical interesterification and physical blending) and to selected commercial margarines. The changes in the chemical properties of the products, including peroxide values (PV), tocopherols, free fatty acids, volatile oxidation products, and sensory evaluation, were examined during storage. It was observed that the margarine produced from the chemically interesterified fat had higher PV in weeks 4, 8 and 10 than the margarines produced from the enzymatically interesterified fats and the physically blended fat. These differences were not caused by different contents of tocopherols in the hardstocks. The differences between the processes for chemical and enzymatic interesterification, including further treatment stages, might be responsible for the development of a high PV in the margarine produced from the chemically interesterified fat. However, the contents of volatiles did not show the same tendency as observed for PV for the margarines stored at 25 °C during 12 wk. Storage at 25 °C accelerated oxidation compared to storage at 5 °C. The content of δ‐ and γ‐tocopherols decreased faster than the content of α‐ and β‐tocopherols during storage. This phenomenon was only affected by storage time, not by storage temperature. Sensory analysis did not show consistent differences between the produced margarines and commercial margarines, and no hydrolysis occurred for these four margarines during storage. The margarines produced from the enzymatically interesterified fats had low PV and a similar taste and smell compared to the margarine produced from the chemically interesterified fat.
