橄榄油微乳体系的相行为及影响因素研究

本文以大豆卵磷脂和司盘80(Span80)复配为表面活性剂,乙醇为助表面活性剂,构建橄榄油微乳体系。采用拟三元相图法,考察亲水亲油平衡值(HLB值)、表面活性剂与助表面活性剂的比值(Km值)、盐浓度等因素对微乳体系相行为的影响,并通过电导率、负染透射电镜等方法研究微乳体系的结构,以优化体系配方、考察微乳液的形成规律。结果表明:大豆卵磷脂与Span80以质量比为3:1复配为混合表面活性剂,并与助表面活性剂无水乙醇按质量比(Km值)为2:1混合,所形成的大豆卵磷脂/Span80/乙醇/橄榄油/水微乳区域面积最大;甘油或少量盐离子的加入,可以在一定程度上增大微乳单相区的面积,但当盐浓度(C_NaCl)大于4 mol/L时,微乳区域面积明显减小;在大豆卵磷脂/Span80/橄榄油/乙醇/甘油/水微乳体系中,当水相(w_水/w_甘油=1:1)含量大于22 wt%时,体系逐渐由W/O型转变为双连续型结构。当水相含量超过30 wt%,体系则发生相分离。此研究为橄榄油微乳液的制备及应用提供理论和技术支持。     

Concentration of phytoestrogens in soybeans and soybean products in Korea

Concentrations of total isoflavones in soybean varieties of different origins and soybean products were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Wild soybeans showed the trend to have more isoflavone content than cultivars or landraces, showing mean value of 1528, 1265 and 1249 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. There were no meaningful differences in the ratio of genistein and daidzein among the modern variety groups. Korean varieties including South Korea and North Korea seemed to have total isoflavone content more than Chinese varieties, although samples of Chinese varieties were limited. In a dried basis of soyfoods, total isoflavone contents were in order of soybean sprout, chungkukjang, soymilk, soybean curd, denjang, kochujang, respectively. Five soybean foods contributed 96% of total genistein and daidzein intake in Korea: soybean sprout, soybean curd, denjang, chungkukjang and soybean seed itself. According to a Korean National Survey Report and our data, the average Korean daily intake of isoflavone from soybean foods can be estimated as 21 mg day⁻¹. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Physicochemical properties of five cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta and Xanthosoma sagittifolium) starches

Physicochemical properties of starches of five cocoyam cultivars were evaluated. CIE L^*, a^*, b^* colour parameters of corm and starches were measured. Amylose, pasting and functional properties of the starches were investigated using colourimetric, Rapid Visco-Analyser and standard methods respectively. Cocoyam starches were white in colour as shown by L^* (84.83–88.65), a^* (+0.01–+1.19), and b^* (+15.33–+16.54) values. Starch granule sizes varied significantly in length (6.47–13.63 μm) and width (5.36–8.45 μm), while amylose content ranged from 11.55% (NCe002) to 33.77% (NXs001). Peak (49.09–141.96 RVU), breakdown (49.09–141.96 RVU), final (189.79–327.42 RVU) viscosities, pasting temperature (84.53–88.75 °C) and time (4.55–4.97 min) varied significantly (p < 0.05) among cultivars. Also, water absorption capacity (21–36%), pH (4.8–5.3), gelling point (60.5–69.5 °C), foam capacity (4.46–18.28%), bulk density (0.14–1.15 g/mL) and swelling power (2.31–10.09) varied significantly (p < 0.05) among the cultivars. Average yield of the starches varied significantly from 10.03 (NCe001) to 18.61% (NXs001).     

An extended approach combining sensory and real choice experiments to examine new product attributes

As an extension of the current strategies employed to evaluate new products/attributes, this research presents a more realistic approach and obtains more accurate results through the combination of real choice experiments (RCEs) and sensory analysis. Two RCEs are carried out to mimic a real shopping scenario before and after experiencing the taste of extra virgin olive oils (EVOO) with a new attribute. Regular EVOO consumers evaluated the products under three different stages: i) purchase stage (i.e., evaluation based on search and credence attributes); ii) consumption stage (i.e., tasting to familiarise with the experience characteristics); iii) re-purchase stage (i.e., re-evaluating the products after the taste experience). Results indicate that in a typical purchase process, consumers form taste expectations based on quality certification attributes while after experiencing the real taste of the product, preferences change. These changes are also reflected in the willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates given before and after tasting. The findings reveal that combining sensory analysis and RCEs is a promising strategy for the evaluation of new products/attributes.     

Composition of total sterols (4-desmethyl-sterols) in extravirgin olive oils obtained with different extraction technologies and their influence on the oil oxidative stability

The composition and antioxidant activity of total sterols in extravirgin olive oils obtained with different extraction technologies from olives harvested at two ripening stages, were studied. The antioxidant activity was evaluated with an oxidative stability instrument (OSI), by using a model system (made of a mixture of treated/untreated commercial refined peanut oil) enriched with the total sterol fractions of the extravirgin olive oils. No correlation was found between the OSI time and the extraction technologies, the ripening stages or the actual amount of sterols added. No significant differences were observed in the percent composition of sterols of extravirgin olive oils produced with different technologies during the same harvesting period. The latter, however, had a significant effect on the percent of β-sitosterol and 5-avenasterol in extravirgin olive oils produced with the same technology.     

西班牙和意大利进口特级初榨橄榄油品质比较

为了系统研究我国主要进口的特级初榨橄榄油性质,比较分析了我国主要进口的8种西班牙和意大利特级初榨橄榄油的脂肪酸组成、酸值、过氧化值及微量成分含量,并对其进行了挥发性成分分析及感官评价。结果表明：西班牙特级初榨橄榄油的C18∶1（77.22%）和C23∶0（0.94%）含量平均值高于意大利样品（分别为72.46%和0.64%）,西班牙特级初榨橄榄油的酸值、过氧化值低于意大利样品;西班牙特级初榨橄榄油中含有γ-生育酚和δ-生育三烯酚,而意大利样品中未检出这两种,且西班牙特级初榨橄榄油中α-生育酚含量平均值（189.58 mg/kg）高于意大利样品（161.26 mg/kg）,角鲨烯含量平均值（6 127.83 mg/kg）远高于意大利样品（4 083.50 mg/kg）,两者甾醇含量差异很小。虽然西班牙特级初榨橄榄油的醛类含量平均值低于意大利样品,但酯类含量更高。感官评价发现,西班牙特级初榨橄榄油的果味、苦味、辣味评分皆高于意大利样品。综上,西班牙特级初榨橄榄油的酸值、过氧化值较低,α-生育酚、角鲨烯含量高于意大利样品,且感官评分较高。     

Combined effects of a natural Allium spp. extract and modified atmospheres packaging on shelf life extension of olive‐based paste

This study aimed to extend the shelf life of non‐thermally stabilised olive‐based paste by adding different concentrations (0.2, 0.5, 1.0 g kg^?1) of a natural Allium spp. extract and/or by using different packaging atmospheres (MAP1, 75% Ar‐23% CO₂‐2% H₂; MAP2, 70% N₂‐30% CO₂) during refrigerated storage. Higher amounts of the natural extract gave the highest level of microbial inhibition, increased hardness, a greater release of aldehydes, esters, and ketones, and a better colour preservation when used with MAP1. The natural extract and MAP, either alone or in combination, produced no sensory defects (except for the control in MAP2), but a greater loss of typical olive flavour. The addition of the natural extract used with an appropriate MAP, can retain the quality attributes and extend shelf life for approximately 14 days longer than the control (without natural extract and MAP), and a better performance is achieved by using greater amounts of natural extract and MAP1.

Addition of enzymes complex during olive oil extraction improves oil recovery and bioactivity of Western Australian Frantoio olive oil

Olive oil consumption has increased as many studies revealed the health benefits of regular consumption of olive oil. There is a need to find effective oil extraction techniques capable of increasing oil recovery without compromising its quality. This study investigated the impact of adding enzymes complex Viscozymes during olive oil extraction on oil recovery, total phenolic compounds, antiradical activity and the standard quality parameters. It was found that at a concentration of 0.30 g mL^?1, Viscozymes could significantly improve the oil recovery from 49 to 69% (P < 0.001) when compared to the Control sample. The concentration of total phenolic compounds was also significantly improved from 110 to 266 mg kg^?1 oil (P < 0.01) and the antiradical activity increased from 31 to 48% inhibition of 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazil radical (P < 0.001). Addition of Viscozymes therefore represents an effective extraction technique that increases oil recovery without compromising the concentration of total phenolic compounds and antiradical activity.
