Present study includes evaluation of fatty acid composition, tocols profile, and oxidative stability of some fully refined edible oils. Fully refined sunflower, soybean, corn, hazelnut, peanut, and canola oils were analyzed for fatty acids by capillary gas liquid chromatography, tocols by normal phase-high performance liquid chromatography and oxidative stability by rancimat. Free fatty acid, peroxide value, and iodine value of investigated oils were determined by titrimetric methods. Saturated, mono-, and polyunsaturated fatty acids were found to be in the ranges between 2.03–18.58, 23.39–77.26, and 14.39–58.52%, respectively. Tocols and oxidative stability of the investigated oils were found to be in the ranges between 488.88–913.51 mg kg−1 and 3.05–4.99 h, respectively.

Single bounce attenuated total reflectance (SB-ATR) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in conjunction with chemometrics was used for accurate determination of free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV), iodine value (IV), conjugated diene (CD) and conjugated triene (CT) of cottonseed oil (CSO) during potato chips frying. Partial least square (PLS), stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR), principal component regression (PCR) and simple Beer׳s law (SBL) were applied to develop the calibrations for simultaneous evaluation of five stated parameters of cottonseed oil (CSO) during frying of French frozen potato chips at 170°C. Good regression coefficients (R(2)) were achieved for FFA, PV, IV, CD and CT with value of >0.992 by PLS, SMLR, PCR, and SBL. Root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was found to be less than 1.95% for all determinations. Result of the study indicated that SB-ATR FTIR in combination with multivariate chemometrics could be used for accurate and simultaneous determination of different parameters during the frying process without using any toxic organic solvent.

Abstract The purpose of present study is to investigate the efficiency of different kinds of Turkish commercial bleaching earth materials for changes in different colour pigment concentrations in neutralized sunflower oils. The bleaching experiments were performed in a pilot system under at stable vacuum (50 mmHg) and temperature (100ºC) for 30 min. By examining the changes in chlorophyll, β-carotene and red colour, bleaching process parameters such as type and dosage of the bleaching material were optimised. The sorption characteristics of colour pigments were evaluated using common adsorption isotherms and Scatchard plot analysis. Ads-3 acid-activated earth material at 1% (w/w) per samples was found to be the most appropriate sorbent and the amount of sorbed pigments was calculated as 1.01x10-4 mmol/g ads. for chlorophyll, 1.15x10-3 mmol/g ads. for carotene and 1.70 red on Lovibond colour scale. The procedure indicated that this system can be easily adapted to the actual oil refining systems.

ABSTRACT Triglyceride composition and trans fatty acid content of corn oil subjected to microwave and conventional heating were evaluated with the aid of central composite design methodology. Oil samples with and without α-tocopherol were prepared on the basis of central composite design and, the effects of the main three factors (temperature, contact time, and the amount of α-tocopherol) were tired to investigate 10 at different five levels. Linoleic acid-linoleic acid-linoleic acid content in triglyceride structure of corn oil and the amount of trans fatty acids in the same oils were taken as response values for evaluation of central composite design assays. Based on the response surface, the optimum conditions (at which trans fatty acid formation and the change in the triglyceride composition are minimum) were determined for both heating procedures. The results showed that the increasing of the temperature and contact time increased the trans fatty acid formation and changed triglyceride structure of the oil in both heating techniques, although, the addition of α-tocopherol at high concentration caused pro-oxidant effect on triglyceride composition (bad effect), while reducing the formation of trans fatty acid (good effect). The results revealed that the heating 20 treatments caused significant changes in the triglyceride composition and trans fatty acid isomers of unsaturated fatty acids of the oil, while the saturated fatty acid contents did not change substantially. These alterations were much greater in microwave-heated samples (trans fatty acid ≤ 7.26%) than in Q3 corresponding samples heated in a conventional stove (trans fatty acid ≤ 0.56%).

A new humic acid based stationary phase has been used, for the first time, to achieve the separation and quantification of paracetamol and caffeine in pharmaceutical preparations under reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography conditions. Central composite design was applied as a powerful tool to optimize the most dominant parameters that influence the resolution of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, that is, mobile phase composition (acetonitrile percentage in water), flow rate, and column temperature. The optimum conditions were obtained as 21.69%, 1.5 mL/min, and 15°C, respectively, with the aid of a second-order quadratic model and desirability function. Under the optimum conditions, the peaks could be baseline separated within 10 min. For the developed reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method, the linearity was investigated in the concentration ranges of 2-160 mg/mL (R(2) = 0.999) for paracetamol and 2-9.9 mg/mL (R(2) = 0.991) for caffeine. Mean recoveries for paracetamol and caffeine were 95.90 and 95.68%, respectively. The limits of detection and quantification were 4.1 × 10(-4) and 1.3 × 10(-3) mg/mL for paracetamol and 1.6 × 10(-4) and 5.0 × 10(-4) mg/mL for caffeine. The results showed that the new humic acid based stationary phase is very suitable for the separation of paracetamol and caffeine in pharmaceutical preparations and, thus it can be used effectively in the pharmaceutical industry.

Chemical properties of cold pressed onion (OnSO), okra (OkSO), rosehip (RSE), safflower (SSO) and carrot (CSO) seed oils were evaluated in terms of triglyceride (TG), fatty acid and tocol (tocopherol and tocotrienol) compositions. Cold pressed OnSO, OkSO, RSO, and SSO had high amounts of OLL, PLL, LLLn and LLL triglycerides, respectively, whereas cold pressed CSO had a significant amount of OOL triglyceride. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) were dominant in CSO with 81.8%, while polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were dominant in OnSO, OkSO, RSE, and SSO oils at 58.7%, 47.9%, 74.1% and 73.8%, respectively. The highest total tocol content was in OnSO (2608.8 mg kg−1), followed by RSO (1124.2 mg kg−1), OkSO (716.7 mg kg−1), SSO (417.5 mg kg−1) and CSO (258.0 mg kg−1) seed oils. There was a positive association between total tocopherol and PUFA and between total tocotrienol and MUFA.
