So, the present study was designed to develop a healthier and stable blend of RBO and MO. Therefore, RBO was blended with MO in two ratios i.e. 80:20 and 70:30. These blends were analyzed for fatty acid composition, physiochemical properties, oxidative stability, and antioxidant activity. Consequently, RBO+MO in the ratio of 80:20 contained 16.9 percent SFA, 32.9 percent MUFA and 50.8 percent PUFA whereas the percentage of SFA, MUFA and PUFA present in RBO+MO (70:30) was 15.2, 25.6 and 59.2 respectively. RBO+MO in the ratio of 70:30 showed adequate smoke point (188°C), frying temperature (180°C) and had low acid value (0.28 mg KOH/g) and saponification value (224.0 mg KOH/g) as well as a low percentage of free fatty acids (0.14%). In terms of oxidative stability and antioxidant activity, RBO+MO (70:30) showed least percent increase (33.9 %) in peroxide formation after 28 days of incubation period and also had highest radical scavenging activity (57.5 %) whereas the highest content of total natural antioxidants (2291.3 mg/kg) was present in RBO+MO (80:20). A significant (pd”0.05) difference was found in all the quality parameters of vegetable oils and it was concluded that RBO+MO in the ratio of 70:30 was an ideal blend in terms of overall quality parameters.

In India, 82 per cent of rural consumers free (Venkattakumar and Padmaiah, 2010). Rice use mustard oil (MO) as their staple edible oil, bran oil (RBO), a non-traditional vegetable oil with monthly consumption varying between 2-4 meets these requirements due to its unique liters per family. The Indian cultivars of mustard, nutritional characteristics. RBO has high levels of due to high content of erucic acid and phytosterols, gamma-oryzanol, tocotrienols as glucosinolates, have limited preference in well as tocopherols and it extends the shelf - life international market. Though the nutritional of snack foods (Ramesh and Murughan, 2008). advantages of mustard oil available in India outdo As India imports considerable quantity of edible many other edible oils (lowest amount of harmful oil, use of domestic rice bran oil can help in import saturated fatty acids, and contains two essential substitution, thus saving valuable foreign fatty acids linoleic and linolenic), the presence of exchange. However, proper promotion of this non- erucic acid and glucosinolates are considered to traditional oil as health oil, remains the most be undesirable. Hence, blending can be a feasible important factor in increasing its acceptability as technique to reduce the amount of erucic acid. *Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected] J Krishi Vigyan 2013, 2(1) : 45-51 45 Choudhary and Grover Both rice bran oil and mustard oil are less beakers (50- ml) capacity and incubated at 37°C expensive edible oils and RBO has also been and 55 per cent RH in a lab incubator to study the scientifically proved best for blending.
