Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on optimizing the formation of sodium caseinate (CS) and gum arabic (GA) complexes using the Maillard reaction to enhance the emulsification properties of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) nanoemulsions.
  • Researchers determined optimal conditions for creating CS-GA complexes through orthogonal experiments, finding the ideal parameters for modification and preparation processes, including a reaction time of 96 hours and a CS-GA mass ratio of 1:2.
  • The resulting nanoemulsions exhibited improved stability and viability as a delivery system for DHA algal oil, indicating their potential for extending shelf life and enhancing food stability.

Fragrant Camellia oleifera Abel. seed oil (FCSO), produced by a roasting process, is popular for its characteristic aroma. This study investigated the effects of various roasting temperatures (90℃, 120℃, 150℃, 180℃) and durations (20 min, 40 min, 60 min) on the flavor of FCSO by physicochemical properties, hazardous substances, sensory evaluation, and flavor analyses.

Enzymatically prepared aromatic oils commonly have high purity and aroma quality. However, amino acid type and content vary greatly according to the type of oil, which impacts overall aroma and quality. In this study, the effects of lysine (Lys), arginine (Arg), proline (Pro), and glutamic (Glu) acid on physicochemical indices, nutrients, hazardous substances, fatty acid composition, and flavor during fragrant rapeseed oil (FRO) enzymatic preparation were investigated using the Maillard reaction (MR).

In this study, we compared the quality of iron walnut oil (IWO) oleogels prepared with different oleogelators, including γ-oryzanol/β-sitosterol (OZ-PS), γ-oryzanol/triglyceride (OZ-TC), monoglycerides (MGS), beeswax (BW), beeswax-monoglycerides (BW-MGS), and carnauba wax (CW). The physicochemical and component properties, rheological and textural parameters, macroscopic morphologies, and antioxidant capacities of the resulting oleogels were analyzed. In addition, their microscopic properties were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, and polarized light microscopy (PLM).

Background: A new enzymatic hydrolysis-based process inspired by the Maillard reaction can produce strong flavored, high-value rapeseed oil that meets safety requirements. In the present study, the effect of reaction time (10-30 min) and temperature (130-160 °C) on the physicochemical properties, nutritional status, fatty acids composition and key aroma compounds of fragrant rapeseed oil (FRO) was investigated.

Results: An increasing reaction time and temperature substantially decreased the total tocopherol, polyphenol and sterol contents of FRO, but increased benzo[a]pyrene content, as well as the acid and peroxide values, which did not exceed the European Union legislation limit.

In this study, a nutritious, healthy Chongqing hotpot oil with excellent flavor was blended while considering nutrition, flavor, and health aspects. Four blended hotpot oils prepared from fragrant rapeseed, palm, sesame, and chicken oils were analyzed to determine their physicochemical properties, antioxidant capacities, levels of harmful substances, and nutritional compositions, and their sensory qualities were evaluated. Principal component analysis was performed to identify the best hotpot oil (10% chicken oil + 20% palm oil + 10% sesame oil + 60% fragrant rapeseed oil), which exhibited good antioxidant capacity (Oxidation Stability Index: 7.

This study aimed to develop nutritious and healthy Sichuan hotpot oil. Four blended oil formulas were formulated using MATLAB based on the fatty acid composition of four base constituents (beef tallow, mutton tallow, peanut oil, and palm oil). The sensory characteristics, physicochemical properties, nutritional composition, harmful substances, and antioxidant capacity of the oils were analyzed during the boiling process.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to obtain a rice bran blended oil with good quality in deep frying. The thermal stability, nutrients and harmful substances of rice bran oil (RBO) and other four oils (palm oil, PO; cottonseed oil, CO; sunflower oil, SuO; soybean oil, SO) were analyzed. Besides, the blended oil formulas were established by the principal component analysis method, and their physicochemical properties, frying characteristic indicators, nutrients, and harmful substances were compared.

This study was the first time the effects of pretreatment technology (microwave roasting, MR; oven roasting, OR; steaming roasting, SR) and processing technology (screw pressing, SP; aqueous enzymatic extraction, AEE; subcritical butane extraction, SBE) on the quality (physicochemical properties, phytochemical content, and antioxidant ability) of walnut oil were systematically compared. The results showed that the roasting pretreatment would reduce the lipid yield of walnut oil and SBE (59.53−61.

Hazardous substances are readily produced during roasting and deodorisation in the preparation of peanut oil. The aim of this work was to investigate the variation of 3-monochloropropane-1, 2-diol ester (3-MCPDE), 3, 4-benzopyrene (BaP) and trans fatty acid (TFA) contents in the roasting and deodorisation segments of peanut oil production process. Roasting temperatures and durations significantly affected the contaminants contents in peanut oil; they increased significantly at a roasting temperature >210°C and time >60 min.

Flavoured rapeseed oils prepared using traditional technologies (oils A and B) and a fragrant rapeseed oil obtained using an enzymatic Maillard reaction (oil C) were analysed to show that oil C featured basic indicators and a fatty acid composition similar to those of traditional oils while exhibiting a higher comprehensive sensory evaluation score. Volatile component, odour activity value (OAV), and relative odour activity value (ROAV) analyses revealed that oil C had an elevated content of pyrazines (20.83%) and aldehydes (38.
