Different biological sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) in mainstream commercial products include algae and fish. Lipid oxidation in n-3 PUFA-rich oil is the most important cause of its deterioration. We investigated the kinetic parameters of n-3 PUFA-rich oil during oxidation via Rancimat (at a temperature range of 70~100 °C). This was done on the basis of the Arrhenius equa...

IN THE PRESENT WORK, SEVERAL FATTY ACID METHYL ESTERS (FAME) HAVE BEEN SYNTHESIZED FROM VARIOUS FATTY ACID FEEDSTOCKS: used frying olive oil, pork fat, soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, and coconut. The oxidation stabilities of the biodiesel samples and of several blends have been measured simultaneously by both the Rancimat method, accepted by EN14112 standard, and the PetroOXY method, prEN16091 s...

Vegetables are widely consumed in Brazil and exported to several countries. This study was performed to evaluate the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of vegetables commonly consumed in Brazil using five different methods, namely DPPH and ABTS free radical, β-carotene bleaching, reduction of Fe(3+) (FRAP), oxidative stability in Rancimat, and the chemical composition using gas chromatog...

The antioxidant activities of TBHQ, BHT and tocopherol mixtures at different concentrations (0, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg) have been evaluated by the application of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Rancimat apparatus. Rancimat apparatus that measures the secondary oxidation products was set at 110 ⁰C with an air flow of 18-20 L/h to measure the induction period (IP) of the samples. The DSC...

in recent years the use of toxic and carcinogenic synthetic antioxidants are recommended to get limited. therefore, the use of natural resource materials as an alternative substitution for synthetic compounds is indispensable. throughout the present study, antioxidation properties of fennel essential oil, at different concentrations containing 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 mg/ml in ...

The oxidative stability of microalgae oil (MO) and its enzymatic glycerolysis product (GP) have been determined by using the accelerated oxidation methods differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) Rancimat at temperatures in range 50–90 °C. Kinetic analyses MO GP provide Arrhenius activation energy enthalpy entropy, temperature coefficients, Q 10 index 20 °C (OSI ), based on secondary tertiary pr...

In this study, the bioactive compounds of loquat fruit (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) skin and pulp extracted by two extraction methods (solvent and ultrasound-assisted) with three solvents (ethanol, water and ethanol-water) were compared to supercritical fluid extraction. The antioxidant activities of skin and pulp extracts were evaluated and compared to tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) using 2...

the antioxidant activities of tbhq, bht and tocopherol mixtures at different concentrations (0, 100, 200, 400 mg/kg) have been evaluated by the application of differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) and rancimat apparatus. rancimat apparatus that measures the secondary oxidation products was set at 110 ⁰c with an air flow of 18-20 l/h to measure the induction period (ip) of the samples. the dsc...
