The % free fatty acid (FFA), acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), moisture content (MC), and color of the CO used in vacuum frying was determined for unheated oil and oil after the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th cycle of frying. The FFA (0.273–0.554%), AV (0.543–1.102 NaOH/kg oil), PV (4.983–45.739 meq oxygen/kg), and MC (1.016–1.079%) showed significant increase (p < 0.05) in the oil as the number of frying cycle increased that dictated the quality of the used CO. Hunter L and b showed significant (p < 0.05) effect on oil as the number of frying cycle increases, while Hunter a indicated insignificant effect. Based on the standard set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) for refined CO (10 meq O2/kg oil), the oil quality is still safe after the third frying cycle, which conforms with the set standards for PV and AV. The pairing of these two tests is a good measure of oil quality assessment.

    Tea Seed Oil and Health Properties Fatih Seyis1, Emine Yurteri1, Aysel Özcan1 1Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University: Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Science, Field Crops Department, Rize/Turkey, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Tea Oil has a mild fragrant flavor that goes with anything. It’s not a heavy oil like Olive Oil, but thinner – more like almond oil. If the taste or “oiliness” of olive oil overpowers your food. Along with its mild taste and pleasant tea-like aroma, this oil touts impressive health benefits. Tea seed oil has a high smoke point, contains more monounsaturated fatty acids than olive oil, contains fewer saturated fatty acids than olive oil, contains high levels of Vitamin E, polyphenol antioxidants and both Omegas 3 and 6, but has less Omega 6 and Polyunsaturated Fats than olive oil. Health Benefits of tea seed oil are: it can be applied topically and consumed internally to obtain its health benefits, camellia oil can be used for skin, hair, has anti-cancer effects, effects boost immunity and reduces oxidative stress. Camellia oil is used for a variety of other purposes, for example for cooking, as machinery lubricant, as ingredient in beauty products like night creams, salves, in hair care products and perfumes and is used to coat iron products to prevent rusting. Key words: Tea, seed oil, health 1. Introduction Like other genera of Camellia (from Theaceae family), the tea plant (C.sinensis) produces large oily seeds. In some countries where tea seed oil is abundantly available, it has been accepted as edible oil (Sahari et al., 2004).

  • Olive Oil Jars Left Behind By
    live oil jars left behind by the ancient Greeks are testament to our centuries- old use of cooking oil. Along with salt and pepper, oil Oremains one of the most important and versatile tools in your kitchen. It keeps food from sticking to pans, adds flavor and moisture, and conducts the heat that turns a humble stick of potato into a glorious french fry. Like butter and other fats, cooking oil also acts as a powerful solvent, unleashing fat-soluble nutrients and flavor compounds in everything from tomatoes and onions to spices and herbs. It’s why so many strike recipes begin with heating garlic in oil rather than, say, simmering it in water. The ancient Greeks didn’t tap many cooking oils. (Let’s see: olive oil, olive oil, or—ooh, this is exciting!—how about olive oil?) But you certainly can. From canola to safflower to grapeseed to walnut, each oil has its own unique flavor (or lack thereof), aroma, and optimal cooking temperature.

  • Honey Recipes on Across the Fence
    Across the Fence Honey Recipes – February 2008 Tips for Cooking with Honey Keep honey in a closed container in a dry place. Do not refrigerate, as refrigeration hastens the formation of crystals. Should this granulation occur, place the container in a pan of hot water until all crystals melt. The honey container should not rest on the bottom of the pan. Granulation does not alter the color or flavor of honey. To substitute honey for sugar, use the same amount of honey, but reduce other liquids by ¼ cup. When measuring honey, coat the measuring cup or spoon with oil or melted butter, or measure shortening before measuring honey. If recipe gets too brown, cover with foil to prevent burning. Baked goods made with honey stay fresh longer since honey tends to prevent them from drying out. This is an important factor when baking ahead or when sending baked items to out-of-town family or friends. Lyn Jarvis’ Recipes Apricot Honey Chicken 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 3 Tbsp. apricot preserves (5 oz. each) 2 Tbsp. orange juice 1 Tbsp. canola oil 4 tsp. honey In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 7 to 9 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Combine the preserves, orange juice, and honey; pour over chicken. Cook for 2 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4 servings.

Accepted 22 November, 2012 Kenyan tea (Camellia sinensis) is widely grown for its leaves and is commercialized as black tea. Product diversification and value addition is currently an area of great interest. This study provides data on the physico-chemical properties of Kenyan tea seed oil from selected clones of tea seeds to ascertain its potential applications. Soxhlet extraction using hexane was employed to obtain tea seed oil followed by chemical analysis to assess its properties. Oil yield, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value, free fatty acids, total polyphenols and antioxidant activity were determined. The oil yields ranged between 16 to 25% w/w. Iodine value was in the range of 86 to 91 g I2/100 g, peroxide value < 3.5 meq O2/kg, saponification value between 182 to 187 mg KOH/g, free fatty acid < 1.5% oleic acid, total polyphenols 0.036 to 0.043 mg/L gallic acid and antioxidant activity of between 14 to 21% 2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity.

The Jackfruit Company story began in India, where our founder, Annie Ryu traveled in 2011 on a medical student mission. She saw her first jackfruit at a local market. A closer inspection and taste piqued her curiosity about the fruit in the Indian diet. She learned that the majority of jackfruit grown there went to waste, and despite its various uses, the fruit wasn’t fulfilling its potential. Annie felt there had to be a way to use it to improve health, farmer’s livelihoods and our eco-footprint – so she did. Annie is a social entrepreneur – a business developer with a conscience. She used her new knowledge about jackfruit to develop it into a healthy main dish for vegans, vegetarians and anyone looking for nutritious meat replacements. It is soy, gluten, nut and cholesterol free. It is low calorie and rich in fiber, too.

The poor biodegradability and toxicity of mineral oil have Received in revised form 4 February 2020 increased the interest in the use of a more environmentally friendly product such as Accepted 4 February 2020 ester-based oil. Generally, natural ester insulating oils (NEI) have a higher flash point Available online 7 April 2020 and breakdown voltage compared to existing mineral oils. However, the higher price of NEI is the main obstacle to widely applied in power transformers. Therefore, alternative cheaper feedstock processing is required. This paper proposed waste cooking oil (WCO) as a potential alternative to the existing transformer insulating oil. The used of WCO promotes the optimal consumption of plant-based resources and more efficient waste management. Transesterification method is performed to remove the free fatty acids in the WCO and reduce the viscosity. The transesterification process is based on the chemical modification reaction between WCO, methyl alcohol (methanol) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) catalyst lye that produces waste cooking oil methyl ester (WCOME).
