Correlation between physicochemical analysis and radical‐scavenging activity of vegetable oil blends as affected by frying of French fries

Abstract

Correlation between physicochemical analysis and radical-scavenging activity of vegetable oil blends as affected by frying of French friesThe main goal of the present work was to compare and correlate the results of physicochemical parameters and antiradical performance of some oil blends during deepfrying, which will be an initial indicator for applying antiradical tests for monitoring deep-frying oils. Two oil blends were prepared. The first blend was a mixture (1 : 1, wt/ wt) of sunflower seed oil and palm olein (SO/PO) and the second was a mixture (1 : 1, wt/wt) of cottonseed oil and palm olein (CO/PO). The oil blends were evaluated during intermittent frying of French fries on two consecutive days for 16 h, with oil replenishing after 8 h. Changes in the fatty acid profile and some physicochemical parameters (peroxide value, color index, viscosity, total polar compounds and UV absorbance at 232 and 270 nm) were used to evaluate the alterations during frying. A quick spectrophotometric method was developed to assess deep-frying oil quality. With the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, the neutralization of the stable radical DPPH by antioxidants present in the oil during frying was measured. Radicalscavenging activity (RSA) of both oil blends was recorded during frying, wherein the results showed that the SO/PO blend had the highest RSA. It was evident from the results that a proportional correlation and positive relationship existed between the levels of fatty acids and the physicochemical characteristics of the vegetable oil blends and their RSA. The initial results obtained allow us to suggest that antiradical measurements could be used to quantify the oxidative and hydrolytic deterioration of vegetable oils upon frying.

Effects of oxidized vanaspati ghee on the serum lipids profile and radical scavenging activity of the in vitro lipids of liver, brain and muscles

“…Deep fat frying is a traditional method of cooking and is popular throughout the world for preparation and manufacture of nearly all foods [14]. In restaurants, fast food chains as well as in industrial frying operations such as potato chips, instant noodles, fat frying is the main procedure.…”

Influence of Temperature on Gamma-Oryzanol Stability of Edible Rice Bran Oil during Heating

“…AV was found to increase with increasing temperature of the oil and depended on -oryzanol content in the oil (see Table II) because of ferulic acid in -oryzanol structure can react with KOH. It was due to the cleavage and oxidation of double bonds to form carbonyl compounds which oxidized to low molecular weight fatty acid during heating [27], [28]. Moreover, low molecular weight fatty acid in the oil may be lost through volatilization during heating [29].…”

Studies on the nutraceuticals composition of wheat derived oils wheat bran oil and wheat germ oil

“…Free radical scavenging effect The stable 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging effect of oil was carried out as described by Ramadan et al (2006). The oil samples (5-80 mg) were mixed with 900 μM DPPH in toluene and the final concentration was made to 750 μM.…”
