Interlaboratory study on lipid oxidation during accelerated storage trials with rapeseed and sunflower oil analyzed by conjugated dienes as primary oxidation products

11 Páginas.-- 5 Figuras.-- 2 Tablas.-- Material suplementarioAccelerated storage tests are frequently used to assess the oxidative stability of foods and related systems due to its reproducibility. Various methods and experimental conditions are used to measure lipid oxidation. Differences between laboratories make it necessary to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of oxidation tests performed under the same conditions. The objective of the present interlaboratory study was to evaluate the outcome of a storage test for two different bulk oils, sunflower oil (SFO) and rapeseed oil (RSO), during a period of 9 weeks at 20°C, 30°C, 40°C, and 60°C. Sixteen laboratories were provided with bottled oils and conducted the storage tests according to a detailed protocol. Lipid oxidation was monitored by the formation of conjugated dienes (CD) and the activation energy (Ea) was determined for comparative purposes and statistically evaluated. An increase in CD formation was observed for both oils when the storage temperature was increased in all laboratories. The Ea,1 ranged from 47.9 to 73.3 kJ mol−1 in RSO and from 27.8 to 62.6 kJ mol−1 in SFO, with average values of 58.2 and 46.8 kJ mol−1, respectively. The reproducibility coefficients were 10.9% and 18.2% for RSO and SFO, respectively. Practical applications: In order to compare results on oxidative stability of foods derived from different studies, the reproducibility of storage tests and methods employed to evaluate the oxidation level should be considered. This study provides fundamental data on the reproducibility of lipid oxidation under accelerated storage conditions and defines important parameters to be considered for the conduction of experiments.Open access funding enabled and organized by Projekt DEAL.

Changes in Protein Fluorescence in a Lipid-Protein Co-oxidizing Oleogel

High and low levels of lipid-induced protein oxidation (tuned by the addition of 0%-8.4% water) were investigated in oleogels, using excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy, coupled with a partial least-squares (PLS) regression and lipid hydroperoxide data. In high-level oxidation models, the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence decreased and the emission maxima increased from 352.5 to 356.0 nm indicating the presence of protein modifications, which was further supported by size-exclusion chromatography. PLS recognized 3 latent components, with several excitation-emission points of interest. These apparent compounds include a region associated with radical mediated protein modifications (approximately 325 and 410 nm), lipid oxidation product adducts (approximately 350 nm and 420-425 nm), and malondialdehyde adducts (approximately 375 and 425 nm). The separate evaluation of these apparent compounds, at a 420 nm emission, indicated that lipid oxidation promotes protein lipid adduct fluorescence at high water levels, rather than radical mediated protein fluorescenc

Cooxidation of proteins and lipids in whey protein oleogels with different water amounts

Protein- and lipid oxidation were investigated in whey protein based oleogels with varying water addition. Lipid oxidation was low (~30 mmol O2/kg lipid hydroperoxides after 6 weeks) in gels with 1,000 mmol O2/kg lipid hydroperoxides after 4 weeks) in gels with > 2.4% water addition. In systems with > 2.4% water addition fluorescence (excitation 325 nm / emission 410 nm) as indicator of tyrosine oxidation and carbonyl content significantly increased and remained at low levels in oleogels with < 0.23% water addition. Primary amines as indicator for protein backbone breakage increased in early stages of oxidation in high water oleogels and decreased after 28 days. Degradation has been suggested to occur through interactions with reactive secondary lipid oxidation products and was confirmed by spiking experiments using respective compounds. The results suggest that secondary lipid oxidation markers are masked dependent on water addition in the presence of proteins
