Understanding Rancidity of Nutritional Lipids [Nutritional Lipids] Vol. 14 No. 8 August 2009 Understanding Rancidity of Nutritional Lipids By Robin Koon, Contributing Editor Since ancient times, deterioration of lipids has been a major problem in the storage of oils and fats. Often referred to as rancidity, it is the natural process of decomposition (degradation) of fats or oils by either hydrolysis or oxidation, or both. The development of rancidity is accompanied by a marked increase in the acid value of the fat, which is tested by using two basic laboratory tests: Peroxide Value (PV) and Anisidine Value (AnV). The process of degradation converts fatty acid esters of oils into free fatty acids, by reaction with air, moisture and/or other materials. This includes triglycerides (95 percent of all dietary fats), which are naturally occurring esters of three fatty acids and glycerol. However, there are some oils that are naturally high in free fatty acids—think conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) or saw palmetto. These lipids degrade to the point of becoming either unpalatable or unhealthy to ingest. Ingestion of rancid lipids has been linked to the development or exacerbation of many diseases, including atherosclerosis, cataracts, diarrhea, kidney disease and heart disease, and can cause cellular membrane damage, nausea, neurodegeneration and carcinogenesis. Vegetable oils tend to be less stable and turn rancid more quickly than do animal fats. They can also become several times more rancid than animal fats, even before the human sense of smell can detect it. Unsaturated fats are more susceptible to oxidation than are saturated fats, meaning the more polyunsaturated a fat is, the faster it will go rancid. This is due to the more unstable double bonds, which allow more oxygen to react at those points. Oils generally don’t suddenly go rancid; they tend to slowly become more oxidized over time. Causes of Rancidity There are two basic types or causes of rancidity that cause and/or contribute to the degradation of stored edible oils: oxidative and hydrolytic. Oxidative rancidity, known as autoxidation, occurs when oxygen is absorbed from the environment. In the presence of oxygen and/or ultraviolet (UV) radiation, most lipids will break down and degrade, forming several other compounds. Oxygen is eight times more soluble in fats than it is in water; it is this exposure that is the main cause of the autoxidation process, increasing the saturation of the oil. Hydrolytic rancidity, also called hydrolysis or enzymatic oxidation, occurs in the absence of air, but with moisture present. This normally is accomplished through enzymatic peroxidation, where enzymes found naturally in plant oils (i.e., lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase) and animal fats (i.e., lipase) can catalyze reactions between water and oil. Another degradation process is microbial rancidity, in which micro-organisms such as bacteria, molds and yeast use their enzymes to break down chemical structures in the oil, producing unwanted odors and flavors. Water needs to be present for microbial growth to occur. There are other contributing factors that can significantly speed up the rancidity process, including: Temperature: decomposition rate increases as temperature rises www.naturalproductsinsider.com Page 1 [Nutritional Lipids] Vol. 14 No. 8 August 2009 Time Light (photo oxidation): in the presence of oxygen, light promotes oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids Water Catalysts: trace metal ions, metalloproteins and inorganic salts Understanding the Process As mentioned above, the main cause of rancidity of lipids is the oxidative deterioration of unsaturated fatty acids via a free-radical chain mechanism, also called lipid peroxidation. It occurs in three stages or phases. The first is the initiation (induction) stage, whereby molecular oxygen combines with unsaturated fatty acids, producing hydroperoxides and peroxyl free radicals, both of which are highly reactive and unstable. The second stage is called propagation. This is when these unstable byproducts of the first stage react with other lipids, starting a continuing free radical lipid peroxidation chain reaction called autoxidation. This results in a continuing and cyclical oxidative degradation process, breaking down the lipid. The final stage, termination, is marked by the slowing or stopping of reactions, completion of making unreactive compounds (e.g. amides, alcohols, aldehyedes, hydrocarbons, ketones, etc.) or when an antioxidant is added or encountered. There are two basic types of oxidative byproducts, primary and secondary. Primary oxidative products are fatty acids reacting with oxygen-forming peroxide compounds. The primary oxidation is normally measured with a PV test. Primary oxidation byproducts include peroxides (ROO) and hydroperoxides (ROOH) Secondary oxidation products occur when ROOH degrade further into other substances, primarily carbonyl compounds: volatile and non-volatile aldehydes, amide, carboxylic acids, expoxides, ketones, alcohols and hydrocarbons (alkanes and alkenes). The secondary oxidation is normally measured with an AnV test. It is worth noting the spontaneous combustion of some oils is also due to an oxidation process, albeit rapid. Many materials can undergo an oxidation process that results in the generation of heat, which eventually reaches “auto-ignition” temperature. Caution must be taken with materials that come in contact with these oils, such as oil-soaked rags or towels. Many fires in homes or businesses have been caused by this process. Examples of these kinds of oils are: ethyl ester fish oils or drying oils (i.e., castor oil, linseed oil, tung oil, etc.). Hydrolysis is caused by hydrolysis of the triglycerides in the oil into their component fatty acids and glycerol. The process occurs without oxygen and in the presence of moisture over time, the rate is accelerated by temperature (increase) or a catalyst. These catalysts are usually enzymes (lipase, esterase, lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase, etc.) or acidic in nature. Lipase in stored oil, for example, usually comes from a bacterial contamination. Lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase typically come from plant-based oils. A list of catalyst agents is mentioned earlier in this article. These free fatty acids then undergo further secondary autoxidation. Hydrolytic rancidity is more of an issue in animal fats than for vegetable fats. Microbial Rancidity is caused by micro-organisms (bacteria, mold, and yeast) multiplying in oils after exposure to moisture (water). Bacteria and fungi are everywhere (in water, air, equipment, on people, etc.). These micro-organisms use their enzymes (e.g. lipases) to break down the chemical structures in the oil, resulting in undesirable odors and flavors. The amount of harm done depends upon the type of micro-organism, their numbers, and the physical condition of the oil being stored. www.naturalproductsinsider.com Page 2 [Nutritional Lipids] Vol. 14 No. 8 August 2009 Measuring Rancidity Rancidity is most commonly detected by taste or smell, but chemical tests can also check for rancidity. There are many tests used to determine the quality of an oil; some tests are predictive and others are indicative. The two well-known or commonly performed indicative tests used to measure lipid oxidation are the PV test for primary oxidation products and the p-AnV test for secondary oxidation products. It is generally accepted that the first compounds formed by oxidation of an oil are hydroperoxides. PV is a measurement of the quantity of peroxide oxygen present in an oil. It is defined as the amount of peroxide oxygen per 1 kg of fat or oil. Traditionally this was expressed in units of milliequivalents (meq), but is normally reported as millimole (mmol) of hydroperoxide per kg of oil (or expressed as milliequivalents of iodine per kilo of oil - 1 millimole = 2 milliequivalents). Standard methods are described by AOCS and IUPAC. PV is a useful measurement for determining actual oxidative status or quality of saturated fats; it is less useful in highly unsaturated fats. Generally speaking, oils with a PV higher than 10 are not considered acceptable. Not all of the secondary oxidation products (aldehydes and ketones) can be measured numerically. The AnV specifically measures levels of aldehyde, which does not decompose readily, using them as a marker to determine how much peroxide material has already broken down. The test measures the level of non- volatile aldehydes, primarily the 2-alkene present in the lipid. It is the aldehydes that are mainly responsible for the rancid smell and poor taste of oil. Because PV is non-linear, the AnV is considered by many to be a better indicator of the freshness of an oil, since it shows its oxidative history. Evaluating a fat should consider both its primary and secondary oxidation test results. This is because just performing the PV test by itself indicates only a part of the story. The peroxides in an oil are really transitory intermediates, which then decompose into secondary compounds. Consider that an oil that has a high PV but is stored for a long time in the absence of oxygen can undergo the secondary oxidative process. Over time, this will result in a reduced PV and an increased AnV. The PV of an oil can be reduced or eliminated by heating the oil, in the absence of oxygen. (This process is actually done as a normal part of the refinement process for some oils.) But, the result of this heating can cause an increase AnV. So, there is a third measurement, TOTOX, which combines both values of PV and AnV, giving a total oxidation measurement or assessment. Many people consider the TOTOX value to be the most important evaluation in determining an oil’s freshness, because PV indicates its actual oxidative status and AnV its oxidative history. The combination of both values gives a good indication of the overall rancidity or quality. This value is determined by calculation: TOTOX = AnV + (2 x PV). There are additional tests that are generally performed on oils to assess quality. The acid value test method determines the acid value—a measure of the acidity or amount of free fatty acids—in an oil and is applicable to all fatty acids and polymerized fatty acids.

Olive oil is the oil extracted from the ripe fruits of the olive tree (Olea europaea L.). Trees have been cultivated in the Mediterranean Region for several centuries and thousands of cultivars differ by weight, size and chemical characteristics of the fruits. Currently, olive oil is produced worldwide and the olive plant was recently introduced in the city of Diamantina, Minas Gerais. The lipid content is mostly composed of oleic acid and smaller fractions of phenolic compounds, phytosterols and pigments, substances with antioxidant and bioactive activities that promote oxidative stability of the oil and beneficial effects on human health. The main extraction of olive oil consists of crushing, pressing and centrifuging, generating by-products that can be reused for recovery of compounds or generation of new products in the food industry.

  • Food Controls for Nuts: Product Batch Rancidity Assessment
    Food controls for nuts: product batch rancidity assessment The following paragraphs describe a complete analytical method that enables the monitoring of the quality of dried fruit before it reaches the final consumer. This proprietary extraction and analysis system is the result of CDR’s chemical and engineering knowhow. Dried fruit is a food product rich in fat content. For this reason, routine analyses of free fatty acids and peroxide value are performed by producers of dried fruit to obtain precious information regarding oil and fat rancidity levels. The analytical method developed by CDR is practical, rapid and reliable and allows for an efficient food quality control on extractable fats contained in dried fruit. 1. Dried fruit: characteristics and industry Dried fruit is a widely marketed product. The ‘dried fruit family’ includes sweet dried fruit, rich in sugars and low in fat content (plums, figs, raisins, dates, etc.) and oily dried fruit, rich in fats and low in sugar content, commonly known as ‘nuts’. This leaflet specifically refers to oily dried fruit and encompasses all types of hard- shelled nuts, such as walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds, pine nuts, cashews, etc. The varieties of oily dried fruit are numerous and diversified, but using a cold press method, it is possible to extract the oil specific to each variety. By testing the extracted oil, it is possible to obtain the chemical characteristics of the dried fruit and key production and marketing information. Statistical data on nut consumption indicate a market growth in upcoming years and further expansion in Asian countries. For businesses active in this sector there will be an increased demand for production and the need to fine tune distribution processes.

The peroxide value (PV), which depends on temperature, time and light, measures the extent of primary oxidation of oils (rancidification). Rancidity of oils can produce potentially toxic compounds associated with long-term health effects such as neurological disorders, heart and cancer. Oils with a high degree of unsaturation are highly susceptible to oxidation as compared to saturated oils. Moreover vegetable oils become rancid much faster than animal oils. Oils also become susceptible to microbial rancidity, in which micro- organisms such as bacteria and yeast use their enzymes to break down chemical structures in the oil, leading to the production of unwanted odors and flavors. To investigate oxidative initial rancidity of oils the PV value is determined. Twenty different oils were selected and subjected to two different frying temperatures: 130C and 170C. This change from 130C to 170C using same frying time (20 minutes) was noticed to cause changes in PV of pure oil, though in many cases (except Seasons corn oil, Season canola, Kausar banaspati, Dalda Groundnut) the PV value was constant after 130 C.

A combination of a quinone with HALS in the same concentrations, however, resulted in a remarkable inhibition of oxidation, especially under the irradiation of light. Furthermore, cooperative inhibition of a quinone and HALS was enhanced by the addition of hydroperoxide. Analyses of the inhibited solutions by means of both prussian blue test and FT-IR confirmed that some phenol derivatives were formed by the interaction of a quinone with HALS. 1. Introduction concentrate was added and, further aqueous sodium nitrite (5.55g, 0.08mol) solution was Antioxidants or stabilizers are used for many added dropwise and stirred, keeping the tem- kinds of petroleum products such as fuels, lubri- perature at 0-5℃. The resulting reaction cants, plastics, etc. In the field of polymer indus- solution, containing yellow crystals, was poured tries, HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers) have into cold water and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-1,4-ben- attracted considerable attention, because of their zoquinone-4-monooxime and then isolated by excellent light stabilizing abilities compared with filtration.
