Characterisation of zero‐trans margarine fats produced from camellia seed oil,palm stearin and coconut oil using enzymatic interesterification strategy

Zero‐trans interesterified fats were produced from camellia seed oil (CSO), palm stearin (PS) and coconut oil (CO) with three weight ratios (CSO/PS/CO, 50:50:10, 40:60:10 and 30:70:10) using Lipozyme TL IM. Results showed that the interesterified products contained palmitic acid (34.28–42.96%), stearic acid (3.96–4.72%), oleic acid (38.73–47.95%), linoleic acid (5.92–6.36%) and total medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFA)s (∑MCFAs, 5.03–5.50%). Compared with physical blends, triacylglycerols of OOO and PPP were decreased and formed new peaks of equivalent carbon number (ECN) 44 in the interesterified products. The product CPC3′ showed a slip melting point of 36.8 °C and a wide plastic range of solid fat content (SFC) (45.8–0.4%) at 20–40 °C. Also, the major β′ form was determined. These data indicated that the zero‐trans interesterified fats would have a potential functionality for margarine fats. Subsequently, the antioxidative stabilities of interesterified products with the addition of α‐tocopherol (α‐TOH) and ascorbyl palmitate (AP) were investigated. The results indicated that AP had a dose‐dependent effect at concentrations of 100, 200 and 400 ppm.     

Production of yellow wine from Camellia Oleifera meal pretreated by mixed cultured solid‐state fermentation

Camellia oleifera meal was evaluated to be a potential feedstock for the production of yellow wine (YW), and process conditions were investigated. In this study, C. oleifera meal was firstly pretreated using mixed cultured Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger under solid‐substrate fermentation to degrade the tea saponin (TS) for the following YW fermentation. Response surface methodology helped evaluate the effects of the selected operating parameters, and the optimal condition at a fixed time of 4 days, which gave a 67.84 ± 0.23% degradation rate of TS, was reached as inoculum concentration of 16%, initial moisture content of 55% and temperature of 30 °C. Finally, 7‐day fermentation was harvested to be the most suitable pretreatment for producing YW from C. oleifera meal, and the twice‐feeding fermentation for YW was obtained as wheat koji 12% and active yeast 1.2%. In addition, ample amino acids, phenolic components and the trace TS endowed the C. oleifera wine, the more nutritional characteristics.

Analysis of Phytochemical Composition of Camellia oleifera Oil and Evaluation of its Anti-Inflammatory Effect in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated RAW 264.7 Macrophages

In China, Camellia oleifera oil (COO) is not only a common edible oil but also a traditional remedy widely applied to ameliorate a variety of illnesses associated with inflammation, such as mouth ulcers, thrush, eczema, etc. However, there has been a lack of relevant biological research on the anti-inflammatory capacity of COO, and the specific bioactive lipid phytochemicals contributing to the anti-inflammatory effect need further research. In this study, the RAW 264.7 macrophages model was used to investigate the anti-inflammatory capacity of COO. Our data showed that 33–200 μg/mL COO markedly inhibited the lipopolysaccharide lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated nitric oxide (NO.) secretion via the suppression of Nos2 and Cox-2 expression. The enzyme immunoassay confirmed that COO also exhibited a strong suppressive effect on the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as Tnf-α and Il-6. To further explore the correlation between the anti-inflammatory effects and the lipid phytochemicals in COO, 10 samples were collected and screened for their chemical compositions. It was interestingly demonstrated that the polyphenol extracts of COO play a vital role in its anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion-based system was also developed to deliver the liposoluble COO into the cells, and the feasibility of this system was confirmed. Our research confirms the anti-inflammatory potential of COO and highlights that the main functional ingredient is polyphenol extracts. This may provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization and development of COO and related functional foods.

采用过氧化氢/凹凸棒土耦合体系对油茶皂素进行脱色,考察了过氧化氢用量、温度、时间和凹凸棒土用量对脱色率的影响,探究了皂素脱色的最佳条件,并比较了分光光度计法、分光辐射亮度计法、罗维朋比色计法、色阶比色法和直观拍照法等不同色泽评价方法对皂素颜色测定的优劣。研究结果显示：最佳脱色条件为H₂O₂用量6%,温度80℃,时间3 h,凹凸棒土用量3%,此条件下皂素呈现乳白色。5种色泽评价结果基本相近。分光光度计法可对茶皂素色泽精确定量分析;分光辐射亮度计法适用于较小色差情况下的颜色评价;罗维朋比色计法在需要对茶皂素溶液进行较广泛的色泽分析场景中具有优势;色阶比色法操作简便,可行性强;直观拍照能对以上方法佐证。     

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Occurrence and Toxicity in Camellia sinensis and Herbal Tea

ABSTRACT

This study describes a survey of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in 23 green, herbal, and black tea brands widely consumed in Nigeria by determining the levels of benzo[a]pyrene, chrysene (PAH2), benzo[a]pyrene, chrysene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene (PAH4), benzo[a]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, dibenz[ah]anthracene, benzo[ghi]per-ylene and indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene (PA-H8). Toxic equivalence factor and mutagenic equivalence factor were applied to evaluate the toxic equivalence and mutagenic equivalence quotients relative to benzo[a]pyrene. The concentrations of PAHs indicate that Regulation 835/2011/EC was not fulfilled by benzo[a]anthracene, B[a]A, benzo[a]pyrene, B[a]P, benzo[b]fluoranthene, B[b]F, and chrysene, CHR. The PAH4 levels ranged from 1.28 to 44.57, 4.34 to 11.20, and 0.76 to 34.82 µg/kg in green, black, and herbal tea products, respectively. On the other hand, the PAH8 concentration varied between 1.63 and 65.73, 5.02 and 68.83, and 12.43 and 24.92 µg/kg in green, herbal, and black tea samples. The PAH4 and PAH8 provide more reliable indicators for determination of PAH contamination and risk characterization in food than PAH2.     

提取方法对茶油中活性成分角鲨烯含量的影响

采用不同的工艺和溶剂从油茶籽中提取茶油,并对经甲酯化处理的茶油进行气相色谱分析、GC-MS联用分析、标准物质共同色谱比对等方法,研究了不同的提取方法对茶油中生物活性物质角鲨烯含量的影响。结果表明,茶油中含有比较多的角鲨烯,其含量随提取方法而不同,直接压榨法、己烷提取法、石油醚提取法、丙酮提取法和三氯甲烷提取法等所得到的茶油中角鲨烯的含量分别为2.98%、7.62%、0.94%、0.29%和0.54%。     

乙醇提取-丙酮沉淀法提取分离茶皂素的工艺研究

以油茶饼粕为原料,采用乙醇提取-丙酮沉淀法对茶皂素进行提取分离。以茶皂素纯度和得率为考察指标,对乙醇体积分数、液料比、提取温度、提取时间、提取次数、提取液浓缩程度和丙酮用量等工艺参数进行了单因素优化。结果表明：体积分数95%的乙醇为提取溶剂,乙醇与预处理过的油茶饼粕液料比为9：1（mL：g）,提取温度为70℃,提取时间为4 h,提取次数为2次,提取液浓缩至刚好有固体析出,丙酮用量为4倍浓缩液体积量时提取分离效果较佳,得到的茶皂素纯度为85.17%,得率为9.82%。不同溶剂打浆对产品纯化效果的比较发现：丙酮、乙酸乙酯、无水乙醇、体积分数95%的乙醇作为打浆纯化溶剂用于提高茶皂素纯度效果均不明显。     

油茶籽油精炼过程中苯并[a]芘风险控制技术研究

研究了油茶籽油加工过程中苯并[a]芘风险控制技术。本文以传统生产工艺的压榨原油、脱色油、成品油和浸提毛油为研究对象,除压力外,模拟油茶籽油加工过程中的精炼工艺流程工况,设计了苯并[a]芘风险控制技术实施方案,并用苯并[a]芘残留量作为评价指标。结果表明：4种试验油均不同程度地存在苯并[a]芘,尤以压榨原油含量最高。常规脱色工艺不致油茶籽油中苯并[a]芘含量增加,而高温脱臭工艺则会使油茶籽油中苯并[a]芘含量显著增加。脱色工艺中用传统的5%活性白土与0.5%硅藻土分别处理均不能去除苯并[a]芘。用1%活性炭与助滤剂硅藻土配伍去除苯并[a]芘效果最好。
