Application of Portable and Benchtop Mid-Infrared Spectrometers in Profiling Composition and Quality of Edible Oils Application of Portable and Benchtop Mid-Infrared Spectrometers in Profiling Composition and Quality of Edible Oils THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael J Wenstrup Graduate Program in Food Science and Nutrition The Ohio State University 2013 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Luis Rodriguez-Saona, Advisor Dr. John Litchfield Dr. Michael Mangino Copyrighted by Michael J. Wenstrup 2013 Abstract The application of infrared spectroscopy techniques to problems in the food and beverage industry has yielded many novel methods. With the increase in computational power, multivariate analysis has brought the unique properties of mid-infrared (MIR) systems to the forefront. The distinct, high intensity MIR absorption bands are well-suited to authentication, classification and quantification of components in complex matrices. This technique has been applied to a variety of food systems, with particular success in the analysis of edible oils. Methods for trans-fat determination, monitoring of oxidative indices, and discrimination of adulterated oils represent only a few of the developments in field of oils. The objective of this study was to utilize MIR spectroscopy in the analysis and characterization of products and processes related to edible oils. A temperature- controlled, ZnSe ATR sampling accessory was used with a benchtop FT-IR system to monitor oxidative changes in frying oils under the influence of a patented anti-oxidation device. In addition, reference methods for free fatty acids (FFA), anisidine value (AV), and color were used to monitor oil stability. FT-IR combined with chemometrics showed differences between control and treatment, with discrimination provided by regions associated with fatty acid hydrolysis and oxidation products. As compared to the control treatment, the anti-oxidation technology decreased the rate of FFA and aldehyde formation, as well as showing a marked effect on total color difference (ΔE). Overall, our results showed that a patented induction device slows the rate of lipid degradation, ii resulting 7-20% reduction in formation rate of key quality parameters and significantly longer utilization of frying oil. Omega-3 dietary supplements have been linked with health benefits due to their contents of EPA and DHA. The concentration of these active components in fish is highly variable; species, catch location, environment, season and processing parameters are all factors in determining the ratio of fatty acids found in the oil. Our objective was to characterize the composition of commercial Omega-3 dietary supplements using mid-infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and chemometrics. Twenty-nine fish body oil (FBO), cod liver oil (CLO), and flaxseed supplements were purchased from retailers. Fatty acid composition of oils, determined by GC-FAME, encompassed a wide range of fatty acid profiles and delivery methods. Mid-infrared spectral data was collected on portable infrared systems and the spectra were used to classify supplements using SIMCA, a pattern recognition technique. In addition, PLSR was used to correlate the spectra with GC-FAME results. SIMCA analysis allowed for tight clustering of fish oil supplements into distinct classes, dependent upon the source and processing. Discriminating power showed a strong influence of the 1038 cm-1 band, which is typically associated with C-O stretching vibrations. PLSR generated multivariate models with high correlation (R ≥ 0.99) between the infrared spectrum and fatty acid composition, and SECV of 1.74 and 1.89 for EPA and DHA, respectively. Our results indicate that ATR FT-IR spectroscopy combined with pattern recognition analysis provides for rapid, robust screening and characterization of edible oils. iii Acknowledgments Thank you to all of my co-workers and labmates for their guidance and for helping me keep my sanity.

Escuela de Ingeniería Química. Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS). Carrera 27 Calle 9. Bucaramanga. Colombia (Recibido el 03 de febrero de 2010. Aceptado el 15 de octubre de 2010) Abstract In this work, the behavior of the CaO as a potential catalyst for the transesterification of triglyceride towards biodiesel production was studied. The effect of the alcohol type, the ratio of alcohol/triacetin, the amount of catalyst, and the chain length of triglyceride on the catalytic behavior of CaO was analyzed. Total conversion was obtained at room temperature with a 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to triacetin over 1% of CaO, after 1 h. It was demonstrated that the whole reaction occurs in heterogeneous phase. During five reaction cycles the CaO maintained a high catalytic activity, showing its good stability. Additionally, it was established that the length of the triglyceride used influenced the transesterification reaction yield due to the steric hindrances and diffusional limitations in the fluid phase. ----- Keywords: Biodiesel, triacetin, basic catalysis, triolein Resumen En este trabajo se estudió el comportamiento del CaO como potencial catalizador en la transesterificación de trigliceridos para la producción de biodiesel. Se analizó el efecto del tipo de alcohol, la relación molar alcohol/triacetina, la cantidad de catalizador y el tamaño de la cadena del triglicérido sobre su comportamiento catalítico.

Xu, Wilmar Global R&D Center, China; Aarhus University, Denmark; M. Ahmad, Jina Pharmaceuticals Inc., USA Enzymatic "green" Preparation of Sugar-fatty Acid Esters D. Hayes(1) (1)University of Tennessee, United States of America Saccharide-fatty acid esters are an emerging category of biobased surfactants prepared entirely from renewable resources that are used as emulsifiers in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, and possess anticancer and insecticidal properties. Typically, the esters are prepared chemically under harsh condition: temperatures near 200 C, employment of solvents, etc., which can cause undesirable side-reactions and produce waste products. Our group has been investigating the use of lipases and novel bioreactor system design to prepare sugar esters under solvent-free conditions and relatively low temperature: ~65 C. Using a stoichiometric feed of saccharide and fatty acid, our approach achieves 90-95% pure ester on a 10-30 gram scale, which, due to the absence of excess reactants and solvent, will require little or no further downstream purification to achieve industrial specifications. The presentation will provide an overview of our recent work, including an evaluation of its physical properties. Deep Eutectic Solvents: new Opportunities for Lipase-catalyzed Reactions E.

Glycerol, acetic acid and sulfuric acid catalyst were reacted in a batch reactor, in order to get reaction kinetics data. The mole ratio of catalyst to glycerol and temperature were studied during the experience. This study concluded that the selectivity of triacetin increased with increase in mole ratio of catalyst to glycerol. Increasing temperatures lead to increase selectivity of triacetin. It will decreased at the time of acetic acid has begun to evaporate. Triacetin synthesis is an exothermic reaction, a higher reaction temperature will cause in shifting the balance toward formation of reactants. This needs to be anticipated by taking one of the products so that the equilibrium shifting toward product formation. Keywords: Reaction kinetic, Glycerol, Acetylation, Triacetin, Acetic acid 1.

Sutoyo Mojosongo – Surakarta 57127 Received 3 April 2008; Accepted 15 October 2008 ABSTRACT A study was carried out to characterize the cocoa lipase from cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao, L.) of clone PBC 159. The optimum temperature of cocoa lipase was 30-40 °C and the pH optimum was 7.0-8.0. The moleculer weight of the lipase enzyme was in between 45-66 kDa. The results indicate that Km value for cocoa bean lipase was 2.63 mM, when trimyristin was used as a substrate. The incubation of cocoa bean lipase with triolein and tributyrin (as substrate) yielded Km of 11.24 and 35.71 mM, respectively. The Vmax value obtained from the incubation of the lipase with a wide range of substrates, including tributyrin, trimyristin and triolein, are expressed as µmole acid/min/mg protein for cocoa lipase. Vmax values decreased with the increase in the triacylglycerol chain-length, with Vmax values of 27.78, 13.16 and 11.63 µmole acid/min/mg protein when incubated with tributyrin, trimyristin and triolein, respectively. Inhibition of lipase occurred in the presence of diisopropyl flourophosphate, N- bromosuccinimide and 5,5-dithiobis-(-2-nitrobenzoic acid). Keywords: characterization, lipase, cocoa beans INTRODUCTION According to Hassan [8] the lipase showed that the optimum temperature for oil palm mesocarp lipase Lipases are ester hydrolases or esterases since activity range between 20.0 to 32.5 °C.

Abstract The thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the methanolysis and hydrolysis reactions of glycerol triacetate or triacetin, a model triacylglycerol compound, were investigated by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level of calculation. Twelve elementary steps of triacetin methanolysis were studied under acid-catalyzed and base-catalyzed conditions. The mechanism of acid-catalyzed methanolysis reaction which has not been reported yet for any esters was proposed. The effects of substitution, methanolysis/hydrolysis position, solvent and face of nucleophilic attack on the free energy of reaction and activation energy were examined. The prediction confirmed the facile position at the middle position of glycerol observed by NMR techniques. The calculated activation energy and the trends of those factors agree with existing experimental observations in biodiesel production. 1.

It is a byproduct of biodiesel production thought as an added value to biodiesel operations. It is now faced with an unpredictable market and probably oversupply as an outcome of increased biodiesel production. There are two types of glycerin market; the refined glycerin with its solid price and crude glycerin which is volatile. There are new applications for glycerin being developed or being implemented and it will be a source of strength to the market. This thesis takes an in-depth review of glycerol from its sources to refining and the market. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I thank the Almighty God for the strength and grace He has given me, without which I could not have made it to this point.
