Lipidomics and metabolomics reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of thermal treatment on composition and oxidative stability of walnut oil.

Roasting walnut kernel significantly improves the oxidative stability and sensory properties of its oil. However, the effect of roasting temperatures on the molecular change of main components and micronutrients in walnut oil is still unclear. Herein, lipidomics and metabolomics were integrated to comprehensively profile the walnut oil obtained at different roasting temperatures (30 °C, 120 °C, 140 °C, 160 °C, and 180 °C).

Rapid Analysis of Squalene, Tocopherols, and Sterols in Walnut Oils Based on Supercritical Fluid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.

Quantification of liposoluble micronutrients in large-scale vegetable oil samples is urgently needed, because their health benefits are increasingly emphasized. However, current analytical methods are limited to either labor-intensive preparation processes or time-consuming chromatography separation. In this work, an online oil matrix separation strategy for direct, rapid, and simultaneous determination of squalene, tocopherols, and phytosterols in walnut oil (WO) was developed on the basis of the lipid class separation mode of supercritical fluid chromatography.

Characterization and metabolism pathway of volatile compounds in walnut oil obtained from various ripening stages via HS-GC-IMS and HS-SPME-GC-MS.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of walnut oil (WO) samples obtained from 5 ripening stages were analyzed by headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and HS-solid phase microextraction-GC-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). A total of 75 VOCs were identified in WO, of which 24 VOCs were found to be the key aroma-active compounds for WO by using odor activity values (OAVs) analysis. Based on chemometrics methods, flavor of WO samples can be characterized into three categories, i.

Detection of walnut oil adulterated with high-linoleic acid vegetable oils using triacylglycerol pseudotargeted method based on SFC-QTOF-MS.

Authentication of walnut oil (WO) is challenging due to the adulteration of high-linoleic acid vegetable oils (HLOs) with similar fatty acid composition. To allow the discrimination of WO adulteration, a rapid, sensitive and stable scanning method based on supercritical fluid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SFC-QTOF-MS) was established to profile 59 potential triacylglycerol (TAGs) in HLOs samples within 10 min. Limit of quantitation of the proposed method is 0.
