The effect of storage time on the composition of the olive and sunflower oils has been investigated. It were studied parameters like free fatty acids (FFA), anisidine value (AV), iodine value (IV), saponification number (SN) and identification of the molecular structure through FT-IR method. During storage (48 months) an increasing in the values of parameters FFA and AV took place that measures the oxidative degradation of oils. The oxidative stability of olive oil stored at room temperature was less than of sunflower oil. Also, significant differences were found among the olive oil and sunflower oil during storage period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
