Effects of refining process on sunflower oil minor components: a review

Abstract: -Sunflower oil is well known because of its diversity of fatty acids profiles which allow different uses (food: dressing salads, margarines; nonfood: agrofuel, lubricants). Besides, crude oil contains high amounts of desirable minor components (tocopherols, phytosterols, polyphenols, phospholipids. . . ) that present important nutritional features with a positive impact on human health. The different steps of the refining process have as main objective to remove contaminants and other compounds that could hamp… Show more

“…Fig 5 showed total and individual tocopherol contents of different rapeseed oil varieties at each step of refining process. The results have shown that γ-tocopherol is the most abundant tocopherol with the concentration from 217.39 μg/g (Fengyou 5103) to 291.32 μg/g (Zhongyou 6766) in crude oils, followed by α-tocopherol, from 89.26 μg/g (Zhongyou 6766) to 125.18μg/g (Fengyou 5103) A significant gradual degradation in tocopherol content was observed during each step of refining process, which was consistent with previous studies [30].…”

“…In general, cold-pressed oils contain better nutritional value than commercially refined oils because the chemical and thermal treatments in the refining process such as solvent extraction, degumming, neutralizing with NaOH, bleaching, dewaxing and deodorizing can cause degradation and reduction of some essential compounds as a consequence [ 3 ]. For instance, sunflower oil could lose up to 60% phytosterols, up to 55% tocols and up to 60% squalene due to the refining procedure as reported in a study by Gotor and Rhazi [ 4 ]. Refining process could increase the acid value, peroxide value and p -anisidine value in rapeseed oil, together with the diminished content of tocopherols, sterols, β-carotene and phenols as previously evidenced [ 5 ].…”

“…Chemical stability depends on the chemical constituents of the oil, like antioxidants and oxidizable components [ 23 ]. Sunflower oil is usually subjected to a refining process that involves the complete loss of valuable active components with interesting nutritional-, health- and antioxidant-related characteristics [ 24 ]. Although synthetic antioxidants initially have been used with the purpose of retarding the oxidative deterioration, their implications in some diseases, such as cancer and carcinogenesis, are still controversial [ 25 ].…”
