Abstract
The current study aims to comprehend the effect of the various combinations of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (3,4-DHPA) and its esters in varying molar ratios on retarding oxidation in bulk refined fish oil in the presence of 0.3% w/w water. All the esters and 3,4-DHPA exhibited better performance than the synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene. In the presence of trace water, the parent compound was found to have a synergistic effect with hexyl ester when used at a molar ratio of 2:1, respectively, exhibiting a higher percent reduction among all the esters and their combinations. The study also showed that the presence of extraneous water can significantly accelerate the oxidation (twofold) in a bulk fish oil system. This suggests that the microenvironment of the oil is altered when water is present and that association colloids play a key role in enhancing the rate of oxidation. Thus, while designing a competent mixture of antioxidants, the specific site of oxidation involved and the surface-active components should be taken into consideration to efficiently retard oxidation.
Practical Applications: Analyzing the impact of trace amounts of water on the efficiency of natural antioxidants, including 3,4-DHPA and its lipophilic esters, helps to comprehend the required optimal antioxidant concentrations for such a dynamic bulk oil system. The study finds application in controlling oxidation in PUFA-rich oils containing surface-active minor components that can accelerate oxidation. The results of the study show that 3,4-DHPA and its esters could be a potential replacement for the synthetic antioxidant BHT in all aspects.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology is a peer-reviewed journal publishing original research articles, reviews, and other contributions on lipid related topics in food science and technology, biomedical science including clinical and pre-clinical research, nutrition, animal science, plant and microbial lipids, (bio)chemistry, oleochemistry, biotechnology, processing, physical chemistry, and analytics including lipidomics. A major focus of the journal is the synthesis of health related topics with applied aspects.
Following is a selection of subject areas which are of special interest to EJLST:
Animal and plant products for healthier foods including strategic feeding and transgenic crops
Authentication and analysis of foods for ensuring food quality and safety
Bioavailability of PUFA and other nutrients
Dietary lipids and minor compounds, their specific roles in food products and in nutrition
Food technology and processing for safer and healthier products
Functional foods and nutraceuticals
Lipidomics
Lipid structuring and formulations
Oleochemistry, lipid-derived polymers and biomaterials
Processes using lipid-modifying enzymes
The scope is not restricted to these areas. Submissions on topics at the interface of basic research and applications are strongly encouraged. The journal is the official organ the European Federation for the Science and Technology of Lipids (Euro Fed Lipid).
