Oxidative Deterioration in Vegetable Oils: Health-Food Oils Versus Conventional Oils 1

Journal of Food Protection
Ki Soon Rhee, Alice C Stubbs

Abstract

Storage stability of health-food and conventional vegetable oils was evaluated by determining oxidative deterioration during accelerated storage at 60 C of unused oils and room-temperature storage of unused and used (once-heated) oils. Oxidative changes were determined by peroxide value (PV), 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test, measurement of weight increase, and sensory evaluation. Vegetable oils included were safflower and corn oils with (conventional oils) or without (health-food oils) added antioxidants. Health-food oils oxidized much faster by all measures than conventional oils, although composition of fatty acids was similar within each oilseed category. In addition, peak values of PV and TBA tests were higher for health-food oils than conventional oils. Differences between health-food and conventional oils increased steadily with the increase in storage time when unused oils were stored at room temperature; for used oils the steady increase was followed by a decrease after approximately 100 days. However, differences were greater with used oils than the unused within 100 days. As to the different oilseeds, safflower oils were more susceptible to oxidation than corn oils, the differences being widened by heating treatment ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
