The analysis of free fatty acids (FFAs) in edible oils can provide important information for quality control and oil authentication. Herein, we report the comprehensive profiling of FFAs in edible oils via magnetic dispersive extraction combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC × GC-MS). A magnetic extractant was designed for dispersive extraction of FFAs. The extraction conditions were carefully optimized. To assess the extraction method, we first use the method for analysis of 7 targeted FFAs. The limits of detection range from 5.6 to 25.8 ng g, and the recoveries in oil samples are 81%-107%. We then performed comprehensive profiling of untargeted FFAs in oil by combining the extraction method with GC × GC-MS. A total of 64 FFAs were identified positively or putatively. The proposed method can provide FFA fingerprint data to guide the processing, storage and authentication of edible oils.

Background: Edible oils are susceptible to contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) throughout production, storage, and transportation processes due to their lipophilic nature. The necessity of quantifying PAHs present in complex oil matrices at trace levels, which bind strongly to impurities in oil matrices, poses a major challenge to the accurate quantification of these contaminants. Therefore, the development of straightforward and effective methods for the separation and enrichment of PAHs in oil samples prior to instrumental analysis is paramount to guaranteeing food safety.

Strawberry fruits are highly perishable and have a limited shelf life. Therefore, effective methods such as essential oils (EOs) and edible coatings are required to mitigate spoilage and maintain fruit quality during storage. In the current study, Echinophora platyloba EO was extracted and subsequently formulated into a nanoemulsion.

Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are associated with inflammation and oxidative stress which is further associated with omega-6 (ω6) and omega-3 (ω3) fatty acid (FA) imbalance favoring ω6 FA. By improving ω3 FA consumption, this imbalance can be altered to control NCD. Previously we have reported blends of flaxseed oil (FSO, ω3 FA) with palm olein (PO) or coconut oil (CO) were thermo-oxidatively stable with good storage stability and could improve ω6:ω3 ratio in cell lines.

Growing evidence indicates that the intake of trans-fatty acids (TFAs) has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease; therefore, various industrial measures have been taken to reduce the amount of TFAs consumed. However, research on TFAs formed during cooking is limited. Isothiocyanates and polysulfides, which are widely distributed in various vegetables, have recently been shown to promote the cis-trans isomerization of double bonds.
