Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the tea seed oil partial hydrogenation by cold plasma (CP) technology. After collecting the tea seed as tea plantation waste and extracting the oil by cold pressing, the hydrogenation was done using the surface dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) CP method at atmospheric pressure, treating the oil samples for 30, 60, 120, and 180 min in the presence of a gaseous mixture (H2: 5%, Ar: 95%). The results suggested the iodine value (IV) reduction by 18.87 g I2/100 g oil in the sample treated for 180 min compared with the control sample. Moreover, the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) contents showed a downward trend by increasing the hydrogenation duration. However, the saturated fatty acids and melting point were increased by 11% and 16.6°C in the sample treated for 180 min compared with the control sample. Also, no trans-fatty acid was produced in hydrogenated samples. The treated samples represented a brighter color than the control, indicating the saturation of carotenoid pigments in the oil. According to the results of this study, the hydrogenation by CP can lead to the industrial production of high-quality zero-trans hydrogenated oils.
