Rodrigues cccc@cccc.es L.H.M. da Silva lhmeller@ufpa.br <p>Enzyme-assisted extraction is considered an environmentally friendly technique. Cellulase, pectinase and protease were tested for cupuassu seeds fat extraction. The best fat efficiency (81.66%) was obtained for the solute:solvent 1:5 (m:w), orbital shaker at 120 rpm, 60 °C, for 8 hours and enzyme concentrations (cellulase, pectinase and protease) of 1.0%. The fat was characterized for physicochemical properties, fatty acid profile, phenolic compounds, antioxidant activities and oxidative stability. The fat showed good thermal stability (14.26 h) and high contents of monounsaturated (42.42%) and saturated (43.47%) fatty acids with higher concentrations of oleic and stearic acids, respectively, and a high content of phenolic compounds (141.84 µg EAG·g<sup>-1</sup>) in the fat, and in the aqueous extract (926.47 µg EAG·g<sup>-1</sup>). The results indicated that the cupuassu seed fat obtained by enzymatic extraction showed superior properties to cupuassu fat obtained by cold pressing, in addition to generating an aqueous fraction which is rich in bioactive compounds that can be used as ingredients in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.</p> 2023-05-25T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) https://grasasyaceites.revistas.csic.es/index.php/grasasyaceites/article/view/1979 GC/MS quantification of individual fatty acids of selected green leafy vegetable foliage and their biodiesel attributes 2023-05-24T13:45:09+02:00 S.S.

Giridhar giridharp@cftri.res.in <p>The current demand for edible vegetable oil is increasing worldwide, and the development of new sources of high-quality vegetable edible oil is an essential task. There is also a huge demand for biodiesel in domestic and industrial applications, and foliage oils could be a good source for diesel applications. The current study aimed at the identification and quantification of fatty acids from commonly consumed green leafy vegetables (GLVs) viz.,&nbsp;<em>Hibiscus cannabinus, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Basella alba, Basella rubra,</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Rumex vesicarius</em>&nbsp;and to calculate the biodiesel attributes of the oil. The total oil content was ascertained as the highest in&nbsp;<em>R. vesicarius</em>&nbsp;foliage (3.91 ± 0.27 g/100 g dry leaf powder). GC/MS chromatographic investigation identified 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid as a significant compound followed by hexadecanoic acid. In&nbsp;<em>Hibiscus</em>&nbsp;spp. C18:3 (49.3 µmol % and 50.4 µmol %) was recorded to be the most noteworthy followed by C16:0 (23.2 µmol % and 21 µmol %) in&nbsp;<em>H. cannabinus</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>H. sabdariffa,</em>&nbsp;respectively. The GLVs foliage-fatty acid biodiesel attributes were additionally assessed through an empirical formula. Consequently, the overall examined results will be helpful for the investigation of these oils as vegetable oil for human consumption and biodiesel applications.</p> 2023-05-25T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) https://grasasyaceites.revistas.csic.es/index.php/grasasyaceites/article/view/1981 Effect of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine on antioxidant capacity, oxidative stability and color reversion of camellia seed oil 2023-05-25T07:22:27+02:00 J.J.

Zhou zhbofood@csuft.edu.cn <p>Non-hydratable phospholipids as pro-oxidants are likely to cause a decrease in the quality of vegetable oils. The influence of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) on the oxidative stability, antioxidant capacity and color reversion of refined camellia seed oil (RCSO) was evaluated in this work. The PE/PS addition could improve the oxidative stability and antioxidant capacity, but was not a key factor in the color reversion of RCSO. The results clearly showed that PE and PS were not prooxidants but antioxidants in camellia seed oil, and the findings of the present study would be useful for extending the shelf-life of camellia seed oil and for retaining phospholipids during moderate refining.</p> 2023-05-25T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) https://grasasyaceites.revistas.csic.es/index.php/grasasyaceites/article/view/1982 3-MCPD and glycidol levels in edible oils and fats obtained from local markets in Türkiye 2023-05-25T08:26:14+02:00 A.O. Gündüz cccc@cccc.es M.M. Ceylan cccc@cccc.es A. Baştürk ayhanbasturk@yyu.edu.tr <p>In this study, it was aimed to determine the 3-MCPD and glycidol levels in 9 types (46 brands) of edible fat and oil offered for sale in markets located in Türkiye. 3-MCPD and glycidol levels were determined by making some modifications to the DGF C VI 18 (10) method. The highest levels of 3-MCPD and glycidol levels were detected in hazelnut oils, riviera olive oils, margarines, and shortenings. As expected, these contaminants were not observed in extra-virgin olive oils, while they were detected at low levels in fish oils. The highest 3-MCPD levels were found in the range of 0.06-2.12 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;in hazelnut oil, 0.16-1.69 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;in riviera olive oils, and 0.17-1.17 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;in margarines. The highest glycidol levels were found in the shortenings in the range of 1.98-6.46 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>, followed by hazelnut oil (0.54-2.63 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>) and riviera olive oil (0.19-3.53 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>).</p> 2023-05-25T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) https://grasasyaceites.revistas.csic.es/index.php/grasasyaceites/article/view/1983 A survey of phthalates in flavored olive oils from Turkey 2023-05-25T09:13:14+02:00 İ. Toptancı cccc@cccc.es S. Kıralan sezerkiralan@balikesir.edu.tr O. Ketenoğlu cccc@cccc.es <p>Phthalates are organic contaminants that are used as plasticizers in many plastic food packaging materials. Because of their lipophilic character, oils are the primary source of human exposure to phthalates. In this study, the presence of five phthalate esters; diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) in olive oils flavored with different materials and marketed in Turkey in 2020 was determined. The samples included BBP, DINP, DIDP at lower concentrations than their LOQ. DEHP was the most abundant phthalate in all samples at varying concentrations between &lt; LOQ to 1.81 mg/kg. The highest amount of DEHP was found in the oil sample flavored with bergamot (1.81 mg/kg).

Joshi cccc@cccc.es M.V. Hegde cccc@cccc.es A.A. Zanwar anand.zanwar@bharatividyapeeth.edu <p>Coconut oil (CO) is a popular cooking medium but its lack of essential fatty acids (FA) is a health concern. Therefore, the aim of this work was to improve the FA profile of CO by blending with flaxseed oil (FO). Blends with various percentages of FO were prepared and studied for physicochemical characterization, thermal and long-term storage stability. The results indicated that the blends made favorable alterations in FA composition without adverse effects to the oxidative stability of the fatty acids and they resisted secondary thermal deterioration up to two hours at 180 ºC. The blend with the highest percentage of FO was stable for nine months. THP-1 cell line studies showed that ω-3 FA from the blend was incorporated into the cells with no adverse effect on cell viability but the inflammatory markers studied remained unaltered. Thus, CO and FO blends could be stored for at least nine months and could be used as cooking medium when prolonged heating is not involved.</p> 2023-06-13T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) https://grasasyaceites.revistas.csic.es/index.php/grasasyaceites/article/view/1990 Elucidation of key odorants and sensory propertiesof five different extra virgin olive oils from Turkey by GC-MS-Olfactometry 2023-06-13T12:53:51+02:00 D.

Oleuropein was the major phenolic compound determined by HPLC-DAD with a content ranging from 20.81 to 32.56 mg·g<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;of dry extract (DE). The evaluation of the&nbsp;<em>in vitro</em>&nbsp;antioxidant capacity of OLE showed good scavenging capacity of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) (1.01 and 0.96 mmol Trolox equivalents (ET·g<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;DE, respectively). The enrichment of sunflower oil with 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5% OLE (w/v) significantly inhibited thermal-induced peroxidation in a dose-dependent fashion. 0.25% OLE was the most effective concentration and showed a significant reduction in peroxide value and conjugated dienes by 61.4 and 17.4%.

Hatipoglu ibrahimhhatipoglu@gmail.com B.E. Ak cccc@cccc.es <p>In the study, the macro and micro elements and fatty acid contents in rose seeds, which are generally evaluated in the waste category, were determined. Among the plants belonging to these taxa, only the registered varieties belonging to four taxa were used, while the others were genotypes. The plant materials of the study include rosehip (<em>R. canina</em>&nbsp;L.), Yildiz variety of rosehip (<em>R. canina</em>&nbsp;L. cv ‘Yildiz’), Syrup rose (<em>R. heckeliana</em>&nbsp;Tratt. subsp.&nbsp;<em>vanheurckiana</em>), Austrian briar (<em>R. foetida</em>&nbsp;Herrm.), lax rootstock [<em>R. caesia</em>&nbsp;Sm.

It was determined that the contents of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium of the macro elements examined in the seed samples differed statistically from each other. The seeds of different&nbsp;<em>Rosa</em>&nbsp;L. species examined within the scope of the research can be considered as one of the fruit oil sources with its 3.71-10.01% oil content. The fatty acid contents were determined as follows: linoleic acid (ω6) contents in the taxa ranged from 41.63 to 50.11% with an average of 44.88%; oleic acid (ω9) ranged from 20.80 to 30.27% with an average of 24.95%; linolenic acid (ω3) varied between 14.00-28.51% with an average of 19.20%; arachidic acid ranged from 0.75-1.63% and the average was 1.97%; eicosenoic acid ranged between 0.13-0.65% and averaged 0.33%; palmitoleic acid contents ranged from 0.08-0.60; behenic acid varied between 0.08-0.19% with 0.11% average. It was observed that the (ω3/ω6 ratio of the hybrid rose, which is especially used as a landscape rose and whose fruits are not evaluated, had an average value.&nbsp;<em>R. canina</em>&nbsp;‘Yildiz’ cultivar showed a high (ω3/ω6 ratio, which is important in health terms.

The&nbsp;<em>L</em><sup>&nbsp;<em>*</em></sup>&nbsp;value of the mayonnaise decreased by increasing the AE-MCC-AS ratio; whereas the redness and yellowness values increased. The emulsion stability and viscosity increased by increasing the AE-MCC-AS ratio from 0.2% to 0.4%; however, they decreased with an increase in the AE-MCC-AS ratio from 0.4% to 0.6%. The largest oil droplets were observed in the micrographs of the control, 0.2% AE-MCC-AS-M and 0.6% AE-MCC-AS-M; while the smallest ones were observed in the micrographs of α-tocopherol-M, BHT-M and 0.4% AE-MCC-AS-M. During the storage period, the total MUFA and PUFA showed a declining trend in all treatments with a higher decrease in the control; while total SFA showed an upward trend with a higher increase in the control. In terms of textural characteristics, a significant declining trend (P &lt; 0.01) was observed in firmness and consistency; whereas an upward trend was observed in cohesiveness during the storage in all treatments.</p> 2023-05-26T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) https://grasasyaceites.revistas.csic.es/index.php/grasasyaceites/article/view/1984 Factors affecting nutritional quality in terms of the fatty acid composition of Cyprinion macrostomus 2023-05-25T09:37:13+02:00 N.

Dong cccc@cccc.es S. Sun shangdesun@haut.edu.cn <p>In this work, phoenix (<em>Firmiana simplex</em>&nbsp;L.) seed oil from Sterculiaceae was extracted using ultrasound-assisted and Soxhlet methods, and physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition were compared and analyzed. The kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the extraction process of Phoenix seed oil were also evaluated. The results showed that the common physicochemical properties of the oil samples extracted by the ultrasound-assisted method were lower than those of the Soxhlet extraction method. In the range of 293 K to 323 K, the effective diffusion coefficient of Phoenix seed oil was significantly different, and varied from 5.18×10<sup>-13</sup>m<sup>2</sup>·s<sup>-1</sup>&nbsp;to 1.29×10<sup>-12</sup>m<sup>2</sup>·s<sup>-1</sup>. The entropy and enthalpy changes in the extraction were positive with values of 33.17 J/(mol·K) and 7.15 kJ/mol, respectively. This work provides the theoretical basis for the development of extraction process parameters and the design of an extraction process for Phoenix seed oil.</p> 2023-05-26T00:00:00+02:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)
