The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of various cooking techniques on the fatty acid and oxylipin content of farmed rainbow trout. Rainbow trout is an excellent source of long-chain omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) which have beneficial health effects. Fillets of 2-year-old farmed rainbow trout were baked, broiled, microwaved, or pan-fried in corn (CO), canola (Ca...

In this study, a set of frying oil samples of different compositional properties but passed qualitative and quantitative standards, which were of various vegetable oil sources (individually or as blends), were obtained from seven of big oil factories in Iran. Before starting the frying process, all the frying oils had carbonyl values (CV) higher than 2 micromol g(-1). The CV of most frying oils...

Double fortified salt (DFS) having iron and iodine, has been formulated for tackling the problems of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). Since there is lack of scientific evidence on the effect of double fortified salt on different cooking methods, So the present research was designed to evaluate the availability of iron and iodine content from commonly consumed ...

Frying oils showed an increase in Peroxide Value (PV) at the initial stages of the frying process followed by a decrease, and there was no correlation between PV and Total Polar Compounds (TPC) in the same set of frying oils. All the frying oils had PVs lower than 4.42 meq O2 kg -1 oil during the frying process and, consequently, none of them was above the limit of 10 meq O2 kg -1 oil for edibl...

The individualistic effect of unit operations of production, at household level, on some antinutritional factors in selected cowpea-based food products (moin-moin, akara, and gbegiri) was investigated. Four cowpea types (IT93K-452-1, IT95K-499s-35, IT97K-568-18, and market sample) were used for the study, whereas the three traditional food products were produced from each of the cowpea types, r...

The influence of frying with four different oils (sunflower oil, soybean oil, olive oil, and corn oil) on the fatty acid composition of silver carp was evaluated. The fat content of the fillets increased after frying while the moisture content decreased in all evaluated samples. Mean saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids, ∑ω3, and ∑ω6 contents of raw fish w...
