Modified lipids obtained from milk fat, sunflower oil, and phytosterol esters for application in tablespreads

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the modifications in milkfat properties with the addition of sunflower oil (SO) and phytosterol esters (PE) and chemical interesterification. Fatty acid composition, softening point and consistency were determined. The saturation degree of milkfat decreased with the addition of SO and PE. Consequently, milkfat presented lower softening point and consistency. Chemical interesterification caused an increase in softening point due to the formation of higher amounts of trissaturated triacylglycerols with rearrangement. The incorporation of unsaturated fatty acids from SO and PE by milkfat triacylglycerols after chemical reaction caused linearization of consistency curves.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq

Development of structured lipids obtained from milk fat, sunflower oil, and phytosterol esters for application in a tablespread

Durante anos, a manteiga foi muito apreciada pelo consumidor, mas por conter grande quantidade de ácidos graxos saturados e colesterol, seu consumo tem diminuído. Recentemente, a descoberta dos malefícios causados pelos ácidos graxos trans presentes nas margarinas produzidas por hidrogenação parcial aumentou o interesse por métodos alternativos de modificação de lipídios. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um lipídio estruturado à base de gordura do leite que apresentasse maiores teores de ácidos graxos insaturados que a manteiga original e, consequentemente, melhor espalhabilidade, além de conter fitosteróis, constituindo a base de um alimento funcional com capacidade de reduzir os níveis de colesterol no sangue. Foram realizadas misturas da gordura do leite (GL) com óleo de girassol (OG) e ésteres de fitosteróis (EF) e foi efetuada interesterificação química e enzimática. As misturas e os lipídios estruturados obtidos foram analisados quanto a composição em ácidos graxos, consistência, conteúdo de gordura sólida (CGS), cinética de cristalização e estrutura cristalina, entre outras propriedades físico-químicas. Foram obtidos produtos contendo cerca de 60% de ácidos graxos insaturados pela adição de até 40% de OG e 25% de EF à gordura do leite, que originalmente possuía cerca de 33% de ácidos graxos insaturados. A interesterificação química melhorou a plasticidade das misturas, enquanto que a modificação enzimática não modificou de maneira expressiva sua consistência. A adição de pequenas quantidades de OG à GL provocou grande diminuição de sua consistência, enquanto que a diminuição do CGS ocorreu em proporções semelhantes às esperadas por interpolação linear. A edição de vídeos que permitam a observação da formação da estrutura cristalina de gorduras mostrou ser uma ferramenta de grande utilidade no estudo da cristalização de óleos e gorduras. A emulsão preparada com a mistura contendo 25,0% de EF, 7,5% de OG e 67,5% de GL apresentou diminuição expressiva na consistência quando comparada à manteiga, representando um efeito benéfico.For many years, butter has been held in the highest esteem by consumer but its world consumption has steadily declined due to its high contents of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. More recently, trans fatty acids, which are commonly resent in hydrogenated argarines, have been found to cause detrimental effects when consumed in high amounts. This observation has increased the interest in alternative methods of lipid modification. Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop a milkfat based structured lipid, presenting higher contents of unsaturated fatty acids than original butter and consequently better spreadability, besides containing phytosterols and serving as a base of a functional food with a cholesterol lowering health claim. Blends containing milkfat (MF), sunflower oil (SO) and phytosterol esters (PE) were prepared and then chemically and enzimatically interesterified. The fatty acid composition, consistency, solid fat content (SFC), crystallization kinetics and crystal structure, among other physical and chemical properties were analyzed. The blends presented about 60% of unsaturated fatty acids with the addition of up to 40% of SO and 25% of PE to MF, which originally presented close to 33% of unsaturated fatty acids. Chemical interesterification improved the plasticity of the blends, while the enzymatic reaction did not substantially alter it. The addition of small amounts of SO and PE to MF caused a great decrease in its consistency, while SFC decreased almost proportionally to the addition of these components. The edition of videos made possible the observation of crystal structure formation and it represented a tool of great importance in the fats and oils crystallization research. The emulsion prepared with the blend containing 25.0% of PE, 7.5% of SO, and 67.5% of MF presented a substantial improvement in consistency when compared to butter commercially available

Comportamento de cristalização de lipídios estruturados obtidos a partir de gordura do leite e óleo de girassol Crystallization behavior of structured lipids by chemical interesterification of milkfat and sunflower oil

A finalidade do estudo foi avaliar o comportamento de cristalização de misturas binárias de gordura do leite e óleo de girassol em diversas proporções, bem como de seus correspondentes lipídios estruturados obtidos por interesterificação química. Foram usados conteúdo de gordura sólida, consistência, ponto de amolecimento e microscopia sob luz polarizada para avaliar as misturas antes e após a interesterificação. A adição de óleo de girassol e a interesterificação modificaram a cristalização da gordura do leite, pelos efeitos de diluição e rearranjo dos triacilgliceróis. Arquivos de vídeo em formato WMV foram compilados para estudar a cristalização a 20 ºC. Os vídeos tornaram possível a observação da estrutura cristalina formada e representaram uma ferramenta de grande importância para a pesquisa de cristalização de óleos e gorduras.<br>The aim of this study was to evaluate the crystallization behavior of binary mixtures of milkfat and sunflower oil in different ratios and their respective structured lipids obtained by chemical interesterification. Solid fat content, consistency, softening point and polarized light microscopy were used to analyze the mixtures before and after interesterification. The addition of sunflower oil and the interesterification changed the milkfat crystallization, through the effect of the dilution and rearrangement of the triacylglycerols. Video files in WMV format were made in order to study the crystallization at 20 ºC. The videos made it possible to observe crystal structure formation and they represent a tool of great importance in the fats and oils crystallization research

Proizvodnja specijaliziranih lipida ugradnjom kaprilne kiseline u mikrobne lipide bogate dokosaheksaenoičnom kiselinom

New sources of docosahexaenoic acid have recently been investigated aiming at infant formula fortification and dietary supplementation, among which the single cell oil with 40-50% of this acid. For this purpose, such an oil was blended with caprylic acid in amount substance ratio ranging from 1:1 to 5:1 and the blends were interesterified using either Novozym 435 or Lipozyme TL IM as the catalyst. The influence of the amount of excess free caprylic acid in the substrate, as well as the type of enzyme on the triacylglycerol rearrangement resulting from the synthesis of the structured lipids were evaluated. The regiospecific lipase Lipozyme TL IM seemed to induce transesterification among single cell oil triacylglycerols preferably by acidolysis with caprylic acid, which was directly proportional to the ratio of this acid in the substrate. In reactions catalyzed by the non-regiospecific lipase Novozym 435, a higher incorporation of caprylic acid into single cell oil triacylglycerols was observed than when using Lipozyme TL IM, independently of the oil/caprylic acid molar ratio. These results revealed the importance of combining the choice of the type of lipase, either regiospecific or not, with the amount ratios of free fatty acids and the substrate in acidolysis when aiming to produce structured lipids as a source of docosahexaenoic acid.Pozadina istraživanja. U posljednje se vrijeme istražuju novi izvori dokosaheksaenoične kiseline koji se mogu upotrijebiti za obogaćivanje hrane za dojenčad i dodatke prehrani, među ostalim i mikrobni lipidi što sadržavaju 40-50 % te kiseline. Eksperimentalni pristup. U tu su svrhu mikrobni lipidi pomiješani s kaprilnom kiselinom u molarnom omjeru od 1:1 do 5:1, a zatim su smjese interesterificirane pomoću katalizatora, lipaze Novozym 435 ili Lipozyme TL IM. Ispitan je utjecaj suviška slobodne kaprilne kiseline u supstratu i vrste enzima na promjenu strukture triglicerida tijekom sinteze strukturiranih lipida. Rezultati i zaključci. Regiospecifična lipaza Lipozyme TL IM izgleda potiče transesterifikaciju triglicerida u mikrobnim lipidima kaprilnom kiselinom, proporcionalno udjelu te kiseline u supstratu. U reakcijama kataliziranim nespecifičnom lipazom Novozym 435 u trigliceride mikrobnih lipida ugrađeno je više kaprilne kiseline nego pri uporabi lipaze Lipozyme TL IM, neovisno o molarnom omjeru lipida i kaprilne kiseline. Novina i znanstveni doprinos. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da je za proizvodnju strukturiranih lipida kao izvora dokosaheksanoične kiseline bitno odabrati pravu kombinaciju regiospecifične ili nespecifične lipaze i udjela slobodnih masnih kiselina u podlozi za kiselinsku hidrolizu

Potential use of carnauba wax oleogel to replace saturated fat in ice cream

peer reviewedThe objective of this study was to develop a wax-oleogel (soybean oil—SBO, peanut oil—PNO, and carnauba wax—CBW) to be used as a fat replacer for ice cream formulations. The oleogels were structured with 6%, 8%, and 10% of CBW and were characterized by oil binding capacity (OBC), visual evaluation, thermal properties (DSC), and microstructure by polarized light microscopy (PLM). All oleogels resulted in a firm and stable gel for 60 days, regardless of the concentrations (6%, 8%, and 10%) and temperatures (5 and 25°C). The OBC of oleogels at 8% and 10% addition were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the oleogels with 6% of CBW. However, the oleogel formed with 6% of CBW showed more than 84% of oil retention after 60 days, indicating that the 6% of CBW was sufficient to develop a network that could hold the liquid oil into a gel-like structure. Larger crystals (μm) were observed with 10% CBW addition (2.15 ± 0.16 μm SBO and 2.08 ± 0.22 mm PNO). After preliminary sensory studies, the SBO oleogel with 6% of CBW was chosen to be applied in the ice-cream formulation. The ice cream preparations were analyzed by overrun, melting rate, fat composition, and sensory acceptance. The oleogel fat replacement (50% and 100%) reduced the melting rate of ice creams; however, it negatively affected the ice cream overrun. These results show that 50% replacement of the traditional lipid phase by CBW oleogel can be performed without causing sensory impairment

Production of vegetable oil blends and structured lipids and their effect on wound healing

Two oil blends (sunflower/canola oils 85/15 (BL1) and canola/linseed oils 70/30 (BL2)), were prepared and enzymatically interesterified to be applied to surgically-induced wounds in rats. Following surgery, the animals were submitted to the Treatment with Physiological Saline (TPS) (control group), Blends (TBL), and Structured Lipids (TSL). The control group (TPS) received physiological saline solution for 15 days. In TBL, BL1 was administered during the inflammation phase (days 0-3) and BL2 in the tissue formation and remodeling phase (days 4-15). In TSL, Structured Lipid 1 (SL1) and Structured Lipid 2 (SL2) were used instead of BL1 and BL2, respectively. The aim of this study was to compare wound closure evolution among rats treated with the blends or structured lipids versus control rats treated with physiological saline. The wound healing process was evaluated by measuring the wound areas along the treatments and the concentrations of cytokines. An increase in the areas of wounds treated with the blends and structured lipids in the inflammatory phase was observed, followed by a steeper closure curve compared to wounds treated with physiological saline. The changes observed during the inflammatory phase suggest a potential therapeutic application in cutaneous wound healing which should be further investigated.</p
