Essential fatty acids (EFAs) in edible oils are crucial for human nutrition. However, their high unsaturation renders edible oils susceptible to oxidation during storage and processing. The addition of lipophilic antioxidants is an effective strategy to inhibit oxidation and safeguard the nutritional integrity of edible oils. This review focused on the diverse mechanisms and applications of lipophilic antioxidants to inhibit oxidation of edible oils. A range of both synthetic and natural lipophilic antioxidants, including butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), propyl gallate (PG), tocopherols, tocopherols, carotenoids, flavonoids, ascorbyl palmitate, and lipophilic phenolic compounds were discussed. Moreover, lipophilic antioxidant extracts, as the mixture of natural lipophilic antioxidants, can significantly inhibit oil oxidation. The interaction mechanisms of natural lipophilic antioxidants were reviewed. However, compared to synthetic lipophilic antioxidants, the mechanisms and interactions of natural lipophilic antioxidants need to be further studied. Additionally, their stability and solubility, the extraction and purification costs, and the impact on the sensory must be considered when applying natural lipophilic antioxidants to edible oils. This review serves as a timely reference for application of natural lipophilic antioxidants in edible oils, contributing to the development of healthier and more sustainable options.

A lipophilic piceid lipoate (PIL) was synthesized by enzymatic method to enhance the antioxidant activity of piceid and improve its state in oil system. The highest substrate conversion of 93.71 % was obtained in γ-valerolactone using Novozym 435 as a catalyst, with a piceid/lipoic acid ratio of 1:15 (mM/mM), an enzyme dosage of 40 mg/mL, and 4 Å molecular sieves at 400 mg/mL.

Changes in Carotenoids and Quality Parameters of Sweet Paprika () After an Accelerated Heat Treatment.

Antioxidants (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Food Technology, Food Science and Nutrition, University of Murcia, Campus of International Excellence "Campus Mare Nostrum", 30100 Murcia, Spain.

Paprika, obtained from dried red pepper (), is valued for its characteristic colour and flavour. Its carotenoid content, which is important for both sensory and nutritional quality, varies depending on several factors (agronomic conditions and technological treatment with special attention to the drying methods) that influence the colour and antioxidant capacity of the samples. This study investigated the effect of an accelerated thermal treatment (80 °C for 8 h) applied to evaluate the oxidative stability of the carotenoids and the colour of ground paprika depending on its origin (Peru or China).

Naturally occurring vitamin E is a lipophilic plant-derived molecule corresponding to the 2 R forms of alpha-tocopherol. A series of natural analogs or tocochromanols are present in nature, including β-, γ- and δ-tocopherol (βT, γT, δT), the corresponding tocotrienols (αTE, βTE, γTE, δTE) and tocomonoenols. Differences between these analogs as lipophilic antioxidants and modulators of molecular processes suggest specific therapeutic properties against various disorders associated with acute and chronic inflammation.

Chlorogenic acid, a well-known antioxidant, has potential applications in health care, food, and cosmetic sectors. However, its low solubility hinders its application at the industrial scale. The primary goal of the present study was to increase the lipophilic property of chlorogenic acid through esterification using an ultrasonication approach and Novozym® 435 as the catalyst.
