Article Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of oil degradation on the content of glycidyl esters (GEs) in oils used for the frying of French fries. As frying media, refined oils such as rapeseed, palm, palm olein and blend were used. French fries were fried for 40 h in oils heated to 180 °C in 30-min cycles. After every 8 h of frying, fresh oil and samples were analyzed for acid and anisidine values, color, refractive index, fatty acid composition, and content and composition of the polar fraction. GEs were determined by LC-MS. Hydrolysis and polymerization occurred most intensively in palm olein, while oxidation was reported for rapeseed oil. The degradation of oil caused increased changes in the RI of frying oils. Losses of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids were observed in all samples, with the largest share in blend. The highest content of GE found in fresh oil was in palm olein (25 mg kg) and the lowest content of GE was found in rapeseed oil (0.8 mg kg). The palm oil, palm olein and blend were dominated by GEs of palmitic and oleic acids, while rapeseed oil was dominated by GE of oleic acid. With increasing frying time, the content of GEs decreased with losses from 47 % in rapeseed oil to 78 % in palm oil after finishing frying.

Correlations Between Textural Properties of Potato Chips and Diffusion Coefficients of Frying Oils.

J Texture Stud

In this study, potato slices were fried in four different vegetable oils (corn, olive, palm olein, and sunflower) to investigate how oil type influences the characteristics of potato chips. The diffusion coefficient of oils was attempted to be correlated with the final moisture, oil uptake, and textural parameters of potato chips. The diffusion coefficients were determined using two approaches.

This study investigated the catalytic performance of Ni-based catalysts supported on micromesoporous composites derived from the incorporation of SBA-15 with USY-(SBA-15-xUSY) or Hbeta-(SBA-15-xHbeta) zeolites (where x is wt percentage of zeolite fraction in the composite) for palm oil hydroisomerization to produce biojet fuel range. The hydroisomerization was conducted in a fixed-bed reactor under 25 bar of H pressure at 40 mL/min, 425 °C, 0.1 mL/min palm oil feed rate, and 5 g of catalyst.

Palm oil adulteration in dairy products poses significant concerns for food authenticity, consumer protection, and regulatory compliance. This study presents a validated combined molecular and chromatographic detection strategy to detect and quantify palm oil adulteration in yogurt fat. Yogurt fat samples were fortified with palm olein at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100% (w/w).

Research Background: Biodegradable packaging is gaining immense research interest as conventional non-biodegradable food packaging has led to significant environmental pollution. In response to this, this study aims to develop biodegradable films based on polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) as potential food packaging material.

Experimental Approach: Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) homopolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] and copolymer poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-3HV)], known microbial biodegradable biopolymer plastics, were layered in different mass ratios using the dispersion coating technique over the brown kraft paper as a food packaging material.
