Comparative Study of Carvones from Various Essential Oils and Their Ability to Increase the Stability of Fat-Containing Products

Abstract

One of the crucial factors for the improvement of people's health is the rationalization of nutrition. The unbalanced food ration, along with some ecological problems becomes the reason for serious disorders in the functioning of a human body. The appearance of these disorders depends greatly on food quality, the contents of essential substances in it, safety as well as its chemical composition. Vegetable oils belong to the most widely used products of the everyday food ration.They comprise essential fat-containing acids, which is why they have to be regularly consumed with food. Vegetable oils are the main source of natural plant sterols in the diet and contain minor components, such as squalene and sphingolipids, all of which may provide a range of health benefits [Félix et al. 2020].Culinary oils and the products made from them, such as fat spreads, have a role in a healthy, balanced diet, even though they are energy dense and contain a high proportion of fat. They are particularly important sources of vitamins D and E

Time-Dependent Effects of Caraway Essential Oil on the Total Antioxidant Capacity of Rapeseed, Olive, and Grapeseed Oils

“…The optical isomers of carvone can impart certain flavours to foods, and when creating functional fatcontaining products, it is possible to use both optical forms of carvone, depending on the orientation of a new functional product. Research by Frolova et al (2021) on the method of accelerated oxidation has shown that the introduction of carvone in the form of optical isomers into sunflower oil leads to an increase in the concentration of fatty products by 2.4-3.0 times in the values of the peroxide number and 1.5-1.7 times in the values of the acid number in comparison with the control. Comparing the effect of the optical isomers of carvone on the oxidation dynamics of fatty products, it was found that in general their protective effect is similar.…”

“…However, the left carvone shows a greater effect on the resistance of sunflower oil compared to the right carvone. In addition to protection against oxidation, the optical isomers of carvone may have a physiological effect on the human body (Frolova et al, 2021).…”

Rational design and synthesis of l-carvone-derived 4-methyl-1,2,4-triazole-thioether/nanochitosan complexes as potent nanopesticides for sustainable and efficient herbicidal application

“…Natural products show great potential in the design and discovery of green herbicidal molecules because of their ecofriendliness, extensive source, chemical modifiableness, among others. [3][4][5][6] Carvone, a chiral ketone-bearing monocyclic monoterpene structure, is naturally found in various plant essential oils, 7 such as spearmint (Mentha spicata), 8,9 caraway (Carum carvi), 10 and dill (Anethum graveolens), 11 and it has been applied as a building block to construct some bioactive compounds. 12,13 Besides, according to the reported literature, [14][15][16] 1,2,4-triazole-thioether moiety could serve as a promising pharmacophore for the design, discovery, and development of new green herbicides.…”
