Abstract
In this study, tiger nut oil was extracted from irradiated and non-irradiated tiger nuts with four different methods, namely cold pressing (CPE), hexane extraction (HE), aqueous enzyme extraction (AEE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and the quality characteristics of the obtained oil were determined. Results indicated that gamma irradiation increased the oil yield by 6.02–7.30%, depending on the extraction method used and had a negligible effect on the fatty acid composition of tiger nut oil. In addition, gamma irradiation significantly increased (p < 0.05) the acid value, peroxide value, K232 and K268 of oil, and reduced the amount of vitamin E, total phenolic, carotenoids and chlorophyll in the oil as well as its oxidation stability. However, the FTIR spectra of the irradiated and non-irradiated oil samples were almost identical. The above changes were verified in the oils obtained with different extraction methods. A total of eight irradiation-induced hydrocarbons were detected in the irradiated oil samples, mainly 1,7-hexadecadiene, 1-tetradecene and 8-heptadecene. The extraction method had no effect on the composition of radiolytic hydrocarbons, but the amount of radiolytic products in the oil extracted by SFE was much higher than other methods.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
