Headspace gas analysis as a measure of rancidity in corn chips

Abstract: Headspace analysis by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) has been used to identify and quantify volatiles formed in the oxidative deterioration of corn chips. The effect of light and temperature on the formation of propanal, pentanal and hexanal in stored chips was examined and the data correlated with the results of sensory evaluation. The procedure is suitable for determining concentrations of pentanal and hexanal below, one ppm, which is below the level where rancidity … Show more

“…2). Similar correlations have been reported (Spanier et al, 1992;Robards et al, 1988;Forbus et al, 1980). This indicated that the ferrous bisglycinate-fortified maize was less stable than the control and other fortified samples after 20 days storage.…”

“…A significant correlation was found between PV and off-flavours, while hexanal showed a similar behaviour with both oxidative rancidity and aroma. A hexanal level of 5 mg/kg was reported to be objectionable in corn chips (15), and breakfast cereals (16). The data for onset of rancid odours correlated well with hexanal concentration above 6 mg/kg, suggesting that hexanal could be an excellent indicator for headspace oxidative rancid odours.…”

“…Linoleic acid was present in much greater concentration in the LL-SBO oil sample (53.3%) than in the PH-SBO oil sample (30.3%), so more hexanal was expected in the oil sample containing the most linoleic acid. Hexanal has been found in greater concentrations in chips fried in high-linoleic acid oils than in regular frying oils (17). Hexanal can be a good index of oxidation (18) of unsaturated FA because of its characteristic odor and production in relatively large amounts in frying oils.…”
