Seed oils sourced from West Africa are generally not well-characterized, but likely to have an untapped potential. This review aims to make an overview of fatty acid (FA) composition of unconventional seed oils from semi-arid West African trees and evaluate potential for new and enhanced uses and for improving local livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. A total of 111 studies on FA composition were found, covering 31 species. Only 69 of the studies (62%) were included in the review, as 38% had unreliable or incomplete results. There was a clear link between taxonomic kinship and FA composition. Over 20 potentially interesting and underexploited oils were found, including oils with properties similar to palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and cotton seed oil. About half of the oils have promising potential for cosmetics. One third of the oils were relatively saturated, indicating properties for structuring food and heat resistance. Most of the species had multiple uses and oil production could be profitable in co-production with other non-timber forest products. Furthermore, establishment of sustainable oil production and domestication of oil trees could promote biodiversity conservation. Enhanced oil production in semi-arid West Africa is promising, but several practical constraints remain to be overcome. 相似文献

Lipids and lipid‐containing foods are particularly sensitive to microwave heating as the specific heat of lipids is low and thus they are quickly warmed up. Microwave heating mainly promotes lipid oxidation, but it can also cause lipolysis and polymerization. This cooking method can differently impact lipid oxidation depending on the treatment conditions used (power, temperature and time), as well as on food composition. This review provides a picture of the main degradation effects of microwave heating on vegetable oils and lipid‐containing foods with emphasis on both fatty acids and cholesterol oxidation. 相似文献

The Amazon rain forest encompasses an extraordinary source of vegetable oils with many applications, especially for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. In this work, the main composition of fifteen Amazonian oils and butters are investigated via gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry (ESI‐HRMS). Triacylglycerols (TAG) are characterized by their fragmentation spectra and comparison with the LIPID MAPS database, resulting in a detailed compendium of TAG composition of these samples. Over 70 different TAG are putatively annotated per sample and the occurrence of isomers is remarkable, showing that TAG complexity in these samples is considerably higher than ever reported. The TAG composition of the Amazonian samples are also statistically evaluated using principal component analysis (PCA) for comparison to common edible oils such as soybean, corn, coconut, and olive oil. Some tendencies of grouping are observed: butters with medium chain fatty acids (FA); butters with high oleic FA; and oils with high oleic and high linoleic FA contents. This study provided profiles that ensure Amazonian oils and butters authenticity, quality and also aids in understanding their properties and the best applications for each. Practical Applications: It is expected that this comprehensive set of data on the TAG composition of Amazonian oils and butters will help guide the use and applications of these products, providing consumers with the best benefits from a nutritional perspective. Moreover, adulterations could be more easily detected when a database is available, since the chemical composition of certified samples is investigated in this work. Ultimately, this study can encourage the sustainable production and applications of Amazonian oils and appropriate use of Amazon rain forest resources. 相似文献

The fatty acid and triacylglycerol composition of a vegetable oil determine its physical, chemical and nutritional properties. The applications of a specific oil depend mainly on its fatty acid composition and the way in which fatty acids are arranged in the glycerol backbone. Minor components, e. g. tocopherols, also modify oil properties such as thermo‐oxidative resistance. Sunflower seed commodity oils predominantly contain linoleic and oleic fatty acids with lower content of palmitic and stearic acids. High‐oleic sunflower oil, which can be considered as a commodity oil, has oleic acid up to around 90%. Additionally, new sunflower varieties with different fatty acids and tocopherols compositions have been selected. Due to these modifications sunflower oils possess new properties and are better adapted for direct home consumption, for the food industry, and for non‐food applications such as biolubricants and biodiesel production. 相似文献

The effect of removing anti‐nutritional factors from n‐hexane‐extracted mustard meal using 80% isopropanol (to reduce thioglucosides, phenolics, etc.) on growth, food efficiency ratio, serum and liver lipid profiles and protein content of young rats was examined. For this n‐hexane‐extracted mustard meal was extracted with 80% isopropanol giving a fraction with 68% protein and low residual thioglucoside (0.5%) as well as phenolic (0.3%) content. This isopropanol‐extracted mustard seed protein fraction reduced the growth of young rats slightly when compared with casein. The food efficiency ratio between rats fed isopropanol‐extracted mustard seed protein or casein did not differ, nor did the protein composition affect serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL‐cholesterol, LDL‐cholesterol, VLDL‐cholesterol and LDL‐C/HDL‐C ratio. However, rats fed isopropanol‐extracted mustard seed protein showed a significantly lower (p<0.05) liver cholesterol concentration than rats fed casein. Liver triglyceride and phospholipid concentrations did not differ between rats fed the two proteins, nor was serum protein affected. This study indicates that extraction of hexane‐extracted mustard meal with 80% isopropanol reduced a number of anti‐nutritional factors like thioglucoside and phenolics. Furthermore the nutritional quality of mustard seed protein fraction is comparable to casein in respect to growth, food efficiency ratio, serum lipid and protein concentrations and organ weights. 相似文献

Cholesterol Content of Vegetable Oils In vegetable oils, sterols are set free, as fatty-acid esters, in glycosidic and acyl-glycosidic bond, and in lipoproteins where structures have not yet been unequivocally clarified. The composition of these five sterol sources and their cholesterol contents are varying considerably even within a given oil. During the past few years, vegetable oils have been analyzed all over the world with regard to their content of cholesterol. Since different methods were used, results can hardly be compared with each other. Also, in view of the very different reactivity of the individual sterol occurrences, most tests covered only the portion of the free and the fatty-acid-esterified sterols. After a critical evaluation of data given in literature, we computed in the present paper mean cholesterol contents to be expected for the major table oils that are commercially available. The study is intended to furnish uniform-basis data in matters of declaration of in the summing-up of cholesterol quantities taken in with food. 相似文献

In this study, differentiation of vegetable oils and determination of their major fatty acid (FA) composition were performed using Raman spectral barcoding approach. Samples from seven different sources (sunflower, corn, olive, canola, mustard, soybean and palm) were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy. Second derivative of the spectral data was utilized to generate unique barcodes of oils. Chemometric analyses, namely, principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square (PLS) methods were used for data analysis. PCA was applied for classification of the samples according to the differences in their levels arising from their barcode data. A successful differentiation based on second derivative barcodes of Raman spectra (2D‐BRS) of vegetable oils was obtained. In addition, PLS method was applied on 2D‐BRS in order to determine the major FA composition of these samples. Coefficient of determination values for palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, α‐linolenic, cis‐11 eicosenoic, erucic and nervonic acids were in the range of 0.970–0.989. Limit of detection and limit of quantification values were found to be satisfactory (0.09–8.09 and 0.30–26.95 % in oil) for these fatty acids . Advantages of both chemometric analysis and spectral barcoding approach have been utilized in the present study. Taking the second derivative of the Raman spectra has minimized background variability and sensitivity to intensity fluctuations. Spectral conversion to the barcodes has further increased the quality of information obtained from Raman spectra and also made it possible to improve the visualization of the data. Converting Raman spectra of oils into barcodes enables simpler presentation of the valuable information, and still allows further analysis such as classification of vegetable oils and prediction of their major fatty acids with high accuracy. 相似文献

Hemp seeds (HS) constitute a rich nutrient source and contain γ‐linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3, n‐6), which is a healthy fatty acid (FA). The objectives of this research are i) to look for GLA‐rich varieties of unhusked hemp seeds (UHS) and commercial hulled hemp seeds (HHS); ii) to check the influence of different extracting systems on both oil yield and FA profiles; iii) to test a simultaneous oil extraction/GLA‐enrichment process looking to improve GLA content. Hop and European hackberry seeds (both from Cannabaceae family) are also analyzed for comparative purposes. GLA is the most discriminant FA among UHS varieties, ranging in both UHS and HHS seeds from 0.5% to 4.5% of total FA, while hop seeds are the richest GLA source from Cannabaceae (7.2% of total FA). The extraction system selected for hemp seeds processing has a clear influence on oil yields, although, the FA profiles are slightly modified. The use of n‐hexane and n‐hexane:acetone in extractions allows an improvement in oil yields at the same GLA percentage. A process comprising saponification and subsequent cooling allows the improvement of GLA percentage in both hemp and hop seeds extracts at values higher than 10% of total FA, at high yields (>70%). Practical Applications: The global HS market increases significantly year after year and the demand of hemp products is increasing rapidly. The natural GLA sources in nature are limited, and although hemp contains GLA, this reaches low percentages in the oil. Hemp is a well‐established crop with highly standardized agricultural technologies, thus, the development of any well‐designed processes feasible for application in oil extraction industries, would allow the development of new GLA‐based functional seed oils. This would boost the development of the agricultural and food industries dedicated to revaluing hemp products. 相似文献

Lauric oils are valuable sources for oils suitable for various food applications. They are particularly useful as cocoa butter substitutes for which steep solid fat content profiles are required. Palm kernel oil is one such fat, which upon fractionation and/or hydro‐genation provides a variety of oil fractions with different oil composition and properties. The stearins have excellent properties for confectionery fats, while the oleins can be further hydrogenated to improve their properties. This paper gives an overview of the properties of products of palm kernel oil, produced from fractionation and hydrogena‐tion. The melting and crystallisation properties from differential scanning calorimetry studies are discussed in relation to the triacylglycerols of the oils. 相似文献

MALDI‐TOFMS and HPLC are two analytical methods that were used to characterize triacylglycerols (TAG) of the Meski, Sayali, and Picholine Tunisian olive varieties. The HPLC chromatograms of the oils showed the presence of 15 TAG species, among which triolein (OOO) was the most abundant (21–48%). In the Sayali cultivar, OOO was the predominant TAG species followed by POO and LOO. However, the minor TAG molecules were represented by LnLO and LnLP. MALDI mass spectra produced sodiated ([M + Na]+) and potassiated ([M + K]+) TAG molecules; only the major TAG were potassiated [OOO + K] ([OOO + K]+, [POO + K]+, and [LOO + K]+). In contrast to the HPLC chromatograms, the MALDI mass spectra showed 13 peaks of TAG. The major peak was detected at m/z 907, which corresponds to OOO with an Na+ adduct. The results from both HPLC and MALDI techniques predict the fatty acid composition and their percentages for each olive variety. Practical applications: TAG are the main components in vegetable oils. These biomolecules determine the physical, chemical, and nutritional properties of the oils. The nutritional benefits of TAG are related to DAG (moderate plasma lipid level) and esterified FA, which are intermediate biosynthetic molecules of TAG. TAG analysis is necessary to discriminate between oils of different origin, since some oils have similar FA profiles. Olive products, oils, and table olives, are the main diet sources of TAG in the Mediterranean countries. In this work, chromatographic and spectrometric methods were used for TAG analysis and characterization of Tunisian olive varieties. 相似文献

Crude canola oil is composed mainly of triacylglycerols but contains considerable amounts of desirable and undesirable minor components. Crude canola oil is refined in order to remove undesirable minor compounds that make this oil unusable in food products. However, refining can also cause the removal of desirable health-promoting minor components from the oil. The first section of this review describes the chemical composition of canola oil, followed by a brief introduction to the effects of minor components on canola oil quality and stability. Following a review of traditional canola oil refining methods, the effects of individual refining stages on the removal of both desirable and undesirable components from canola oil are presented and contrasted with other common vegetable oils. 相似文献

Cold-pressed onion, parsley, cardamom, mullein, roasted pumpkin, and milk thistle seed oils were characterized for their fatty
acid (FA) composition, tocopherol content, carotenoid profile, total phenolic content (TPC), oxidative stability index (OSI),
color, physical properties, and radical-scavenging capacities against peroxyl (oxygen radical-scavenging capacity) and stable
DPPH (diphenylpicrylhydrazyl) radicals. Parsley seed oil had the highest oleic acid content, 81 g/100 g total FA, and the
lowest saturated fat among the tested oils. Roasted pumpkin seed oil contained the highest level of total carotenoids, zeaxanthin,
β-carotene, cryptoxanthin, and lutein at 71 μmol/kg and 28.5, 6.0, 4.9, and 0.3 mg/kg oil, respectively. Onion seed oil exhibited
the highest levels of α- and total tocopherols under the experimental conditions. One of the parsley seed oils exhibited the
strongest DPPH scavenging capacity and the highest oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value of 1098 μmol Trolox equiv/g
oil. However, ORAC values of the tested seed oils were not necessarily correlated to their DPPH scavenging capacities under
the experimental conditions. The highest TPC of 3.4 mg gallic acid equiv/g oil was detected in one of the onion seed oils.
The OSI values were 13.3, 16.9–31.4, 47.8, and 61.7 h for the milk thistle, onion, mullein, and roasted pumpkin seed oils,
respectively. These data suggest that these seed oils may serve as dietary sources of special FA, tocopherols, carotenoids,
phenolic compounds, and natural antioxidants.

Fish oil dietary supplements have been linked with health benefits, due to high omega‐3 concentration. The sources of these effects, polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, are almost exclusively found in seafood products. Our objectives were to characterize the composition of commercial omega‐3 dietary supplements dietary supplements and to generate partial least square regression (PLSR) models using infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics. Fatty acid (FA) composition of oils was determined by FA methyl ester gas chromatography. The supplements encompassed a wide range of FA profiles and delivery methods. Infrared spectral data were collected by portable mid‐infrared Fourier transform infrared (MID FT‐IR) equipment. Principal components analysis (PCA) separated samples based on the type of ester present in the fish oil dietary supplements, showing a strong influence of the 1038 cm?1 band, which is typically associated with C=C and C–O stretching vibrations. In addition, PLSR was used to correlate the spectra data with GC‐FAME results. PCA using the spectroscopy data allowed for tight clustering of fish oil into distinct classes, depending on the source and processing. PLSR using MID FT‐IR spectra and FA composition generated multivariate models with high correlation coefficient (R ≥ 0.93), and SEP between 0.53 and 2.13 g of FA per 100 g of oil. Our results indicate that IR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics provides for robust screening of FA composition of fish oil supplements, and discriminate types of FAs esterification. 相似文献

Non-Edible Plant Oils as New Sources for Biodiesel Production 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Due to the concern on the availability of recoverable fossil fuel reserves and the environmental problems caused by the use those fossil fuels, considerable attention has been given to biodiesel production as an alternative to petrodiesel. However, as the biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats, there are concerns that biodiesel feedstock may compete with food supply in the long-term. Hence, the recent focus is to find oil bearing plants that produce non-edible oils as the feedstock for biodiesel production. In this paper, two plant species, soapnut (Sapindus mukorossi) and jatropha (jatropha curcas, L.) are discussed as newer sources of oil for biodiesel production. Experimental analysis showed that both oils have great potential to be used as feedstock for biodiesel production. Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from cold pressed soapnut seed oil was envisaged as biodiesel source for the first time. Soapnut oil was found to have average of 9.1% free FA, 84.43% triglycerides, 4.88% sterol and 1.59% others. Jatropha oil contains approximately 14% free FA, approximately 5% higher than soapnut oil. Soapnut oil biodiesel contains approximately 85% unsaturated FA while jatropha oil biodiesel was found to have approximately 80% unsaturated FA. Oleic acid was found to be the dominant FA in both soapnut and jatropha biodiesel. Over 97% conversion to FAME was achieved for both soapnut and jatropha oil. 相似文献

The present study comprises the second part of an ongoing study focusing on olive oil from five less well‐known Greek cultivars for three of which there are no data available in the literature regarding their chemical composition. A total of 74 olive oil samples were collected during the harvesting periods 2012–2013 and 2013–2014. Headspace‐solid phase microextraction was applied to determine the olive oil volatile profile. Fifty‐six compounds were identified and semi‐quantified by CG–MS. Furthermore, fatty acid composition, conventional quality parameters and color parameters were determined in an effort to characterize and differentiate olive oils according to cultivar. All samples were characterized as extra virgin olive oils. Data obtained showed significant differences between the cultivars. Multi‐element analysis in combination with chemometrics resulted in a high classification rate of 86.5 % for the combination of volatiles plus color, 89.2 % for the combination of VC plus FA, and 91.9 % for the combination of FA composition plus color plus CQP. 相似文献

Over the past two decades, plant geneticists have revolutionized how fatty acid compositions of vegetable oils are optimized to improve oxidative stability and functionality. Now, the expertise of plant geneticists is reaching beyond altering fatty acids to changing other oil components such as tocopherols. Basic lipid research on optimizing tocopherol profiles and ratios in vegetable oils is providing information for geneticists to breed the next generation of oxidatively stable vegetable oils. This review will discuss three studies; first, a basic study to determine the oxidative stability provided by the addition of pure gamma and delta tocopherols to oils treated to remove natural tocopherols; second, a practical study to evaluate the oxidative stability of mid‐oleic sunflower oil from seeds modified by plant breeding to contain high amounts of γ‐ and δ‐tocopherols; and third, a frying test to determine the effects of gamma tocopherol addition. 相似文献

The ability of mycelium-bound lipase of a locally isolated Aspergillus flavus to modify the triglyceride structure of vegetables oils was studied. The catalysis involved the acidolysis of vegetable oils,
such as palm olein, coconut oil, cotton-seed oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil and soybean oil, with selected fatty acids (FA).
The reactions were followed against time, and the percentages of FA incorporated were determined by gas chromatography. Percentage
of FA incorporated after 20-h reaction was in the range of 13 to 18%. Reaction between cottonseed oil with lauric acid gave
the highest percentage of incorporation (18%), followed by soybean oil with lauric acid (16%) and coconut oil with oleic acid
(16%). The results indicated that the hydrolytic affinity of A. flavus lipase demonstrates an acyl group specificity toward short-chain FA (C8–C10). Changes in triglyceride profiles of each oil were also monitored by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography.
In all products, there were increases in the concentrations of several existing triglycerides and formation of new triglycerides.
The melting points of all acidolyzed vegetable oils were determined by differential scanning calorimetry, and significant
changes in melting profiles were noted. 相似文献

Most seed oils are obtained by pre‐pressing the crushed seeds followed by solvent extraction of oil from the press cake. The prepressed oil will contain no solvent residues, and is moreover expected to contain more nutritionally valuable compounds, which can in turn enhance the oxidative stability of the oil. However, reports on differences between extracted and pressed oils are scarce. Therefore, in this study, for a case study on rapeseed oil, the composition and quality were systematically compared between pre‐pressed and solvent extracted oil. In the extracted oil, solvent residues and a clear sensory difference were detected, which disappeared almost completely during refining. The crude oils had a high content in free fatty acids and in primary and secondary oxidation products, which were higher in the extracted than in the pressed oil. However, surprisingly, also the content of minor compounds was slightly higher in the extracted oil than in the pressed oil. This can be explained by a selective extraction of those compounds into the solvent. During refining, a difference between pressed and extracted oils still existed but was less pronounced. The slight difference in antioxidants content might explain the higher oxidative stability of extracted over pressed oils. Practical applications : Traditionally, high yields of vegetable oils are obtained by pre‐pressing the seeds, followed by solvent extraction of the residual oil from the press cake. The solvent extraction leads to higher oil yields, but is expected to affect the composition and quality of the oil, and has moreover negative environmental impacts. In this study, the solvent extracted oil contained slightly higher levels of tocopherols and phytosterols, and had slightly higher oxidative stability, which are desirable quality aspects. In contrast, the solvent extracted oil contained also higher levels of undesirable phospholipids, as well as solvent residues, which were, however, removed during degumming and deodorization, respectively. These results suggest that the final quality of refined pre‐pressed and solvent extracted oils is comparable from nutritional and safety point of view. A choice for pressing instead of solvent extraction will, therefore, rather be driven by sustainability concerns than by nutritional aspects. 相似文献

Organogelators such as 12‐hydroxystearic acid and ethylcellulose have been shown to structure vegetable oils at levels below 8%. The resultant gels retain the fatty acid profile of the vegetable oil, yet provide solid‐like properties that can successfully replace saturated fats in a variety of food products including cookies, creams, and frankfurters and sausages. Furthermore, organogel technology can be used for the controlled or delayed release of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. With the development of food grade organogelators, this will allow for the use of oleogels in a large variety of food and pharmaceutical applications. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to highlight the main differences between seed oils produced from conventionally cultivated
crops and organically cultivated ones and processed using mild extraction procedures. The composition and the nutritional
and health aspects of both types of sunflower seed oils were compared and were analytically tested to determine the macroscopic
differences in proximate composition, the main differences in the minor components, the main quality parameters, the in vitro antioxidant activity, and the presence of trans-ethylene steroisomers in FA. No significant trends were found in the oil samples for TAG and FA composition, but remarkable
differences were found in the composition of minor components and in the main chemical and analytical quality properties.
The organically grown samples had a higher total antioxidant activity compared with the conventional samples. Trans FA were found only in the conventional oils. 相似文献
