ABSTRACT Vegetable oils are used in various cooking processes. However, when they are heated at high temperature and/or for a long period, chemical reactions can generate damaging substances for the health. The aim of the study was to predict the critical times at high temperatures of avocado oil. A four-level two-variable Central Composite Design was used to model the thermal oxidation of avocado oil extracted using the aqueous method. Temperature (120 – 180 °C) and time (11 – 209 min) were the independent variables. The response variable was the content in total polar compounds (TPC) with an upper limit defined at 25% (w/w). The composition and the oxidative status of fresh avocado oil were also investigated. The results obtained by a multiple regression analysis showed that data can be fitted with a second order polynomial equation (R2 = 0.98, Adj. R2 = 0.97) with all regression coefficients being significant (p < 0.05). The critical heating time ranged from 232 min to 214 min between 120 °C-140 °C and from 188 min to 4 min between 140 °C-180 °C. It was influenced by avocado oil composition. Thus, water-extracted avocado oil is not recommended for frying (140 °C – 180 °C) while it can be used for recipes involving long cooking time at moderate temperature (120 °C-140 °C). © 2018 International Formulae Group.

It natural antioxidants (tocopherols, phenolic can help us to explore and understand the compounds, sterols and carotenoids), and the relationship between the process parameters presence of oxygen (Gordon and Magos, and the quality of the products characterized 1983; Kamal-Eldin and Appelqvist, 1996; by specific indicators.

To our knowledge, prooxidant properties (Gutierrez-Rosales et few studies are based on the modelling of al., 1992). Hence, proper control of processing edible oil oxidation at high temperatures conditions is required to delay the time when (Ojanguren and Ayo, 2013; Shankar, 2014). edible oils become useless (Shankar, 2014). Guillen and Uriarte (2011) have predicted the Many methods (peroxide value, time at which linseed, sunflower, extra-virgin conjugated dienes, para-anisidine value and olive, grapeseed, soybean, sesame, rapeseed, TBARS value) are commonly used to monitor peanut and hazelnut oils submitted to high oxidation of foods (Abuzaytoun and Shahidi, temperature reached the limit of safety.
