Effects of Bleaching on the Properties of Roasted Sesame Oil

JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 1 2005
Inhwan Kim
ABSTRACT: Improvement in quality of roasted sesame oil was studied. Roasted sesame oil was bleached at 70 °C, 85 °C, or 100 °C for 20 min with acid-activated clay at 0.5%, 1.0%, or 3.0% (w/w) and then centrifuging at 12096 × g at 4 °C for 10 min. The color of the roasted sesame oil became lighter and the viscosity of oil decreased by bleaching. Bleaching caused a significant increase in the smoke point of the oil, from 170 °C to a range of 183 °C to 191 °C. Bleaching increased palmitic acid and decreased linoleic acid contents of roasted sesame oil. Bleaching decreased free fatty acid (FFA) and conjugated dienoic acid (CDA) contents and carbonyl values (CV) of roasted sesame oil. The more the acid clay was used, the lower were the FFA and CDA contents and CV of the oil. Amount of acid clay in bleaching of roasted sesame oil had higher effects on the color, viscosity, smoke point, FFA and CDA contents, and CV of roasted sesame oil than the bleaching temperature. Bleaching did not show a significant effect on tocopherol contents of the sesame oil. Bleaching tended to decrease sesamolin contents and increase sesamol contents in the roasted sesame oil. As the amount of acid clay and the bleaching temperature increased, the contents of sesamin and sesamolin in the oil decreased while sesamol contents increased. [source]


Oxidative Stability of Soybean and Sesame Oil Mixture during Frying of Flour Dough

JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE, Issue 7 2004

ABSTRACT: Effects of roasted sesame seed oil on the oxidative stability of soybean oil during frying of flour dough at 160 °C were studied by determining fatty acid composition and conjugated dienoic acid (CDA), p -anisidine (PA), and free fatty acid (FFA) values. Concentration of sesame oil in frying oil was 0%, 10%, 20%, or 30% (v/v). Tocopherols and lignan compounds in the frying oil were also determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. As the number of fryings performed by the oil increased, linolenic acid content in frying oil decreased, and the decreasing rate was lower in frying oil containing sesame oil than in the oil containing no sesame oil. CDA and FFA values of frying oil increased during frying and their relative values to the initial value were lower in frying oil containing sesame oil than in the oil containing no sesame oil. This indicates that the addition of sesame oil improved thermooxidative stability of frying oil, possibly due to the presence of lignan compounds in sesame oil. Tocopherols and lignan compounds in frying oil decreased during frying. As the amount of sesame oil in frying oil increased, degradation of tocopherols increased and lignan compounds degradation decreased. Tocopherols were suggested to protect lignan compounds in sesame oil from decomposition during frying. [source]

ABSTRACT Because dietary fat appears to be an effective vehicle for dispensing plant sterols into the diet, a special plant-sterol-containing ingredient has recently been developed. This ingredient is a plant sterol suspension in oil in which the sterols are in microcrystalline form. The objective of the present study was to analyse the cholesterol-lowering effects and safety of two different plant sterol preparations, an orally administered microcrystalline plant sterol suspension (MPS) in rapeseed oil and a powdered plant sterol supplement, in obese Zucker rats. Dietary plant sterol supplements (0.5%, w/w) were given concurrently with a high cholesterol diet (HCD, 1% cholesterol and 18% fat, w/w). No significant changes in serum triglyceride, blood glucose, serum glutamate oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic pyruvic transaminase values or body and liver weights were observed. The powdered plant sterol supplement lowered the serum cholesterol by 25% (P< 0.05) and the MPS diet by 35% (P< 0.001) compared with HCD by the end of the 12-week experiment. Interestingly, the plant sterol supplements also produced a marked reduction in serum ubiquinone levels, suggesting a possible effect on isoprene synthesis. Unlike the powdered plant sterol, both MPS and plain rape-seed oil decreased the serum baseline diene conjugation values, suggesting that they protect against oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation in rats. This lipid peroxidation diminishing effect is probably due to some antioxidative components in rapeseed oil. These findings indicate that an unesterified plant sterol, such as the microcrystalline suspension in oil, effectively prevents cholesterol absorption in obese Zucker rats. [source]


Production of a Desulfurization Biocatalyst by Two-Stage Fermentation and Its Application for the Treatment of Model and Diesel Oils

BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, Issue 5 2001

For the production of oil-desulfurizing biocatalyst, a two-stage fermentation strategy was adopted, in which the cell growth stage and desulfurization activity induction stage were separated. Sucrose was found to be the optimal carbon source for the growth of GordonianitidaCYKS1. Magnesium sulfate was selected to be the sulfur source in the cell growth stage. The optimal ranges of sucrose and magnesium sulfate were 10,50 and 1,2.5 g L,1, respectively. Such a broad optimal concentration of sucrose made the fed-batch culture easy, while the sucrose concentration was maintained between 10,20 g L,1 in the actual operation. As a result, 92.6 g L,1 of cell mass was acquired by 120 h of fed-batch culture. This cell mass was over three times higher than a previously reported result, though the strain used was different. The desulfurization activity of the harvested cells from the first stage culture was induced by batch cultivation with dibenzothiophene as the sole sulfur source. The optimal induction time was found to be about 4 h. The resting-cell biocatalyst made from the induced cells was applied for the deep desulfurization of a diesel oil. It was observed that the sulfur content of the diesel oil decreased from 250 mg-sulfur L-oil,1 to as low as 61 mg-sulfur L-oil,1 in 20 h. It implied that the biocatalyst developed in this study had a good potential to be applied to a deep desulfurization process to produce ultra-low-sulfur fuel oils. [source]

Abstract Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to evaluate the quantitative effects of two independent variables: solvent polarity and temperature of the extraction process on the antioxidant capacity (AC) and total phenolics content (TPC) in meal rapeseed extracts. The mean AC and TPC results for meal ranged between 1181,9974,µmol TE/100,g and 73.8,814,mg sinapic acid/100,g of meal. The experimental results of AC and TPC were close to the predicted values calculated from the polynomial response surface models equations (R2,=,0.9758 and 0.9603, respectively). The effect of solvent polarity on AC and TPC in the examined extracts was about 3.6 and 2.6 times greater, respectively, than the effect of processing temperature. The predicted optimum solvent polarity of ,,=,78.3 and 63.8, and temperature of 89.4 and 74.2°C resulted in an AC of 10,014,µmol TE/100,g and TPC of 863,mg SAE/100,g meal, respectively. The phenolic profile of rapeseed meal was determined by an HPLC method. The main phenolics in rapeseed meal were sinapine and sinapic acid. Refined rapeseed oils were fortified with an extract , rich in polyphenols , obtained from rapeseed meal. The supplemented rapeseed oil had higher AC and TPC than the refined oil without addition of meal extracts. However, AC and TPC in the enriched oils decreased during storage. The TPC in the studied meal extracts and rapeseed oils correlated significantly (p<0.0000001) positively with their AC (R2,=,0.9387). Practical applications: Many bioactive compounds extracted from rapeseed meal provide health benefits and have antioxidative properties. Therefore, it seems worth to consider the application of antioxidants extracted from the rapeseed meal for the production of rapeseed oils with potent AC. Moreover, antioxidants extracted from the rapeseed meal were added to refined rapeseed oil in order to enhance its AC. AC was then tested by FRAP assay. FRAP method is based on the reduction of the ferric tripyridyltriazine (Fe3+ -TPTZ) complex to the ferrous tripyridyltriazine (Fe2+ -TPTZ), and it is simple, fast, low cost, and robust method. FRAP method does not require specialized equipment and can be performed using automated, semi-automatic, or manual methods. Therefore the proposed FRAP method can be employed by the fat industry laboratories to asses the AC of rapeseed oils and meal. [source]

Crude and refined Mackerel liver oil with or without antioxidants were stored in artificial light or in darkness to assess the effects of photo-oxidative stress on the stability of oils and the antioxidant activity of butylated hydroxy-anisole (BHA) and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) on those oils. Changes in peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid value (TBA) were monitored over 18 days at 5C and 40C. The results showed that visible light exposure played the most critical role in the acceleration of fish liver oil oxidation. The addition of antioxidants showed a significant effect in retarding oxidation with TBHQ more effective than BHA. The oxidation rate of the oils decreased in the following order: control with light > control + BHA with light > control without light > control + TBHQ with light > control + BHA without light > control + TBHQ without light. Higher PV and TBA values were observed in refined oils versus crude oils. Increasing storage temperature accelerated the oxidation of only refined oils in light. [source]
