In the present study, ultrasound was used to remove the residual solvent from the fragrant oil of red pepper seed obtained by subcritical propane extraction. The physical and chemical characteristics, particularly the volatile flavor compounds present of the oil before and after ultrasound-assisted desolventizing were comprehensively analyzed to determine the effect of the desolventizing process on product quality. The results showed that the maximum loss of residual solvent was achieved at a temperature of 90 °C maintained for 70 min with ultrasound applied during the entire process. After this treatment only a small amount of solvent (2.3% based on the total residual solvent originally present) remained in the oil. Although it was hypothesized that ultrasound treatment could result in the loss of volatile components, the analytical results showed no obvious reduction in the components associated with the typical aroma of the oil. After ultrasonic treatment, the oil also had good oxidation stability and quality. Additionally, after ultrasonic desolventizing, the oil samples were more suitable for cooking because they could more effectively minimize oxidation. Thus, these results demonstrate that this new ultrasonic technique is an effective and efficient method for removing the solvent remaining in fragrant oil after subcritical propane extraction.

Jiangsu Hefeng Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd., Yancheng 212002, PR China.

The strong fragrant rapeseed oils (SFROs) attract an increasing consumers' preference due to their strong flavor and attractive appearance. With the accumulated knowledge of flavor formation pathways during producing SFROs, the present study proposed a novel method to enhance SFRO's flavor by directly adding the reducing sugars (glucose and xylose) and commercial peptides during roasting process. Results indicated that supplementation of 3 % rapeseed peptide, 1 % glucose and 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Fragrant sesame oil is valued for its distinctive aroma, which is influenced by its volatile organic compound (VOC) profile that varies with production methods and blending techniques.
  • Traditional aroma analysis methods, like sensory evaluation and gas chromatography, have limitations, prompting the need for new approaches.
  • A new 14-unit multiplexed paper-based colorimetric sensor has been developed to analyze the VOC profiles of sesame oil, providing a visual "fingerprint" that can indicate processing differences and detect blending with refined oil.

The pore size structure and surface structure of activated carbon (AC) may be ameliorated using the hydrophobic groups and negative surface charge of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), along with the abundant hydroxyl and amine groups of chitosan (CS). In this study, a composite adsorbent (CS/SDS/AC) created through co-modification of AC with CS and SDS was employed to remove aflatoxins from fragrant peanut oil. CS/SDS/AC exhibited a superior adsorption capacity (89.

Groundnut oil is known as a good source of essential fatty acids which are significant in the physiological development of the human body. It has a distinctive fragrant making it ideal for cooking which contribute to its demand on the market. However, some groundnut oil producers have been suspected to produce groundnut oil by blending it with cheaper oils especially palm olein at different concentrations or by adding groundnut flavor to palm olein.
