AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted extraction methods with traditional solvent extraction for obtaining antioxidant extracts from jujube leaves.
- Ultrasound-assisted extraction was found to be the most effective in enhancing antioxidant activity and yield of phenolic compounds.
- The methanol-water extract obtained via ultrasound at 700 ppm demonstrated better stabilization of sunflower oil during deep frying than synthetic antioxidants, based on various stability measurements.
Article Abstract
The aim of present study was to compare the effects of ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted extraction with solvent extraction method on antioxidant activities of jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) leaf extracts in stability of sunflower oil during deep frying. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH˙) radical scavenging and β-carotene bleaching assays. Ultrasound-assisted extraction was the most effective method on antioxidant activities of extracts and extraction yield of phenolic compounds compared to other extraction techniques. Protective effect of methanol-water extract of jujube leaf obtained with ultrasound-assisted extraction (ULMW) at 500 and 700 ppm in stability of sunflower oil was compared to synthetic antioxidants by measuring total polar compounds (TPC), carbonyl value (CV), peroxide value (PV), free fatty acids (FFA), oxidative stability index (OSI), conjugated dienes (CD), and trienes values (CT). Results showed ULMW at 700 ppm had higher stabilization efficiency than synthetic antioxidants.

Palm and palm kernel oils are preferred ingredients in industrial food processing for baked goods and chocolate-based desserts due to their unique properties, such as their distinctive melting behaviors. However, ongoing concerns about the social and environmental sustainability of palm oil production, coupled with consumer demands for palm oil-free products, have prompted the industry to seek alternatives which avoid the use of other tropical or hydrogenated fats. This project investigated replacing palm oils with chemically unhardened Swiss sunflower or rapeseed oils.

Leaf senescence in plants is the last stage of leaf development and is characterized by a decline in photosynthetic activity, an active degeneration of cellular structures, and the recycling of accumulated nutrients to areas of active growth, such as buds, young leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. This process holds economic significance as it can impact yield, influencing the plant's ability to maintain an active photosynthetic system during prolonged periods, especially during the grain filling stage, which affects plant weight and oil content. It can be associated with different stresses or environmental conditions, manifesting itself widely in the context of climate change and limiting yield, especially in crops of agronomic relevance.

Adding of vegetable oils to skincare products or the use of plant oils for oil care is a current trend. Therefore, the safety and functionality of vegetable oils are of great concern to consumers and cosmetics manufacturers. This study focused on three types of vegetable oils: sunflower oil (SO), andiroba oil (AO) and hydrogenated olive oil (HOO).

This study investigated the oleogelation of cellulose bead dispersions in a sunflower oil oleogel made with solvent-transferred whey protein isolate. The microstructure and rheology of the mixed gels depended on the ratio of hydrated cellulose beads to proteins (9:1, 8:2, 7:3, and 1:1). Two gel stabilization mechanisms were identified.

Oleogelation was investigated to reduce the saturated fat content of vegan cheese. Oleogels were formulated using a range of oleogelators, oleogelator concentrations and oil phase compositions to study the effect that adjusting these parameters had on both oleogel and vegan cheese properties. Comparing oleogels at an equivalent mass basis of 20 wt%, phytosterol oleogels exhibited greater hardness (5.
