Total Polar Compounds (total + polar_compound)
Selected AbstractsLoss of tocopherols and formation of degradation compounds at frying temperatures in oils differing in degree of unsaturation and natural antioxidant contentJOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, Issue 14 2002Daniel Barrera-Arellano Abstract Samples of oils of different degrees of unsaturation, namely palm olein, olive oil, high-linoleic sunflower oil, high-oleic sunflower oil, rapeseed oil and soybean oil, were heated at 180,°C for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10,h in the presence or absence of their natural antioxidants. Also, tocopherol-stripped oils were supplemented with ,-tocopherol (500,mg,kg,1), ,-tocopherol (500,mg,kg,1) or a mixture of ,-, ,-, ,- and ,-tocopherols (250,mg,kg,1 each) and heated under the same conditions. Losses of tocopherols and formation of polymeric triacylglycerols were followed. Total polar compounds were also evaluated after 10,h of heating. Results demonstrated that tocopherols were lost very rapidly, in the expected order, with ,-tocopherol being the least stable. Polymeric and polar compound formation during heating was inhibited to a variable extent, being more dependent on the natural content and type of tocopherols than on the degree of unsaturation of the oil. For example, polymeric and polar compound contents in soybean oil were significantly lower than those found in high-linoleic sunflower oil. However, the expected influence of the degree of unsaturation was evident when oils were unprotected or possessed identical initial antioxidant contents. Finally, levels of degradation compounds after 10,h of heating were not dependent on the remaining content of antioxidants. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry [source] Correlation between physicochemical analysis and radical-scavenging activity of vegetable oil blends as affected by frying of French friesEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIPID SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 8 2006Mohamed Fawzy Ramadan Abstract The main goal of the present work was to compare and correlate the results of physicochemical parameters and antiradical performance of some oil blends during deep-frying, which will be an initial indicator for applying antiradical tests for monitoring deep-frying oils. Two oil blends were prepared. The first blend was a mixture (1,:,1, wt/wt) of sunflower seed oil and palm olein (SO/PO) and the second was a mixture (1,:,1, wt/wt) of cottonseed oil and palm olein (CO/PO). The oil blends were evaluated during intermittent frying of French fries on two consecutive days for 16,h, with oil replenishing after 8,h. Changes in the fatty acid profile and some physicochemical parameters (peroxide value, color index, viscosity, total polar compounds and UV absorbance at 232 and 270,nm) were used to evaluate the alterations during frying. A quick spectrophotometric method was developed to assess deep-frying oil quality. With the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, the neutralization of the stable radical DPPH by antioxidants present in the oil during frying was measured. Radical-scavenging activity (RSA) of both oil blends was recorded during frying, wherein the results showed that the SO/PO blend had the highest RSA. It was evident from the results that a proportional correlation and positive relationship existed between the levels of fatty acids and the physicochemical characteristics of the vegetable oil blends and their RSA. The initial results obtained allow us to suggest that antiradical measurements could be used to quantify the oxidative and hydrolytic deterioration of vegetable oils upon frying. [source] Potato Chip Quality and Frying Oil Stability of High Oleic Acid Soybean OilJOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 6 2005Kathleen Warner ABSTRACT High oleic soybean (HOSBO) and low linolenic acid soybean (LLSBO) oils were evaluated individually and in a 1:1 blend along with cottonseed oil (CSO) to determine frying oil stabilities and the flavor quality and stability of potato chips. Potato chips were fried in the oils for a total of 25 h. Potato chips and oils were sampled periodically for sensory data, gas chromatographic volatile compounds, free fatty acids, and total polar compounds. Total polar compounds levels decreased with increasing amounts of oleic acid. The LLSBO had the highest overall increase (17.3%) in total polar compounds from 0 to 25 h of frying. Flavor evaluations of fresh and aged (0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 wk at 25 °C) potato chips showed differences between potato chips fried in different oil types. Potato chips fried in either LLSBO or in the 1:1 blend had significantly higher intensities of deep fried flavor than the chips fried in HOSBO. Potato chips fried in HOSBO, which had 2% linolenic acid and 1.3% linoleic acid, had significantly higher fishy flavor intensity than chips fried in the other oils. The presence of linoleic acid at a level lower than the amount of linolenic acid probably allowed for the fishy flavors from the degradation of linolenic acid in HOSBO to become more apparent than if the linoleic acid level was higher than linolenic acid. Hexanal was significantly higher in potato chips fried in LLSBO than in the chips fried in the other oils, indicating low oxidative stability during storage. Blending HOSBO with LLSBO in a 1:1 ratio not only improved flavor quality of chips compared with those fried in HOSBO, but also improved oil fry life and oxidative stability of chips compared with LLSBO. [source] A chromametric method for the rapid assessment of deep frying oil qualityJOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, Issue 13 2003Xin-Qing Xu Abstract A rapid chromametric method was developed for the assessment of deep frying oil quality based on the strong correlation between colour index and total polar compounds in deep frying oil. Colour indices of frying oil samples, measured by chromameter, decreased significantly during frying and were strongly correlated with frying time (r , 0.95, p < 0.001). Colour indices of a set of oil samples taken from 0 to 80 h of deep frying were also significantly correlated with total polar compounds of the same samples determined using the official method of the American Oil Chemists' Society (r = 0.96, p < 0.001). The equation for conversion of the colour index (x) to the content of total polar compounds (y) in an oil sample is y = 0.0174x2 , 2.9506x + 124.34. In addition, colour indices of 10 different types of frying oils were strongly correlated with the corresponding contents of total polar compounds in the oils with samples taken from 0 to 80 h of deep frying in duplicate (r = 0.95, p < 0.001, n = 220). The results of colour index analyses agreed well with the results of chemical and sensory analyses of the frying oils tested. This chromametric method is rapid, convenient and reliable.
