Abstract: | Thermoxidative stability was evaluated in triaclyglycerols (TAG) from the oils of the mutant sunflower lines CAS-3, CAS-4,
and CAS-8 (with a high percentage of stearic acid), CAS-5 (with a high percentage of palmitic acid), all from standard highlinoleic
genetic backgrounds, and the mutant sunflower line CAS-12 (with a high percentage of palmitic acid), from a high-oleic genetic
background. These oils contained unusually high contents of TAG molecular species with one or two saturated fatty acids at
the sn-1,3 positions. Purified total TAG devoid of tocopherols were subjected to controlled thermoxidative treatment at 180°C. Polymerized
TAG were determined at 2-h intervals for 10 h. After this time, total polar compounds, oxidized TAG monomers, TAG dimers,
and TAG oligomers were determined. TAG from highly saturated sunflower oils with levels of linoleic acid similar to those
found in conventional sunflower oils (40–50%) showed enhanced thermal stability. In these TAG, the amount of polar compounds
formed during the thermoxidative treatment was similar to that formed in the high oleic acid line. Excellent results were
obtained for the TAG of the CAS-12 oil, which had the highest thermal stability, producing half the amount of polar compounds
as the conventional line and less than two-thirds that of the high-oleic line. |
