Abstract
This study aimed to assess the fatty acid profiles and frying stability of cottonseed oil (CSO), sesame oil (SO), and their 1:1 blend. Oils were evaluated by determining their nutritional quality, including the fatty acid profile and key nutritional quality indicators such as atherogenicity index (AI), thrombogenicity index (TI), hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic (HH) ratio, and ratios of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to monounsaturated (MUFA) and saturated fatty acids (SFA). Furthermore, the oils were characterized using FTIR, and the thermal degradation behavior of the oils was assessed using a thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) at a 100°C to 600°C temperature range. Frying stability was determined by subjecting the oils to frying at 180°C and measuring acid value and p-anisidine value (p-AV) pre- and postfrying, alongside changes in color, viscosity, and fatty acid profiles. The 1:1 blend of CSO and SO showed an improved fatty acid profile, with PUFA/MUFA and PUFA/SFA ratios of 2.03 and 2.45 compared to 3.26 and 1.95, respectively, in unblended CSO. Furthermore, the blend showed more balanced nutritional indices with lower AI and TI values (0.23 and 0.52) versus CSO (0.34 and 0.78) owing to modified fatty acid composition. After ten frying cycles, the CSO:SO blend exhibited a significantly lower p-AV (79.04 ± 0.8) compared to unblended CSO (95.22 ± 0.8), and also exhibited moderate changes in color and viscosity values as compared to unblended oils, indicating reduced formation of secondary oxidation products. TGA results revealed less thermal degradation between 100°C and 400°C for the blend. The findings suggest that blending CSO with SO not only enhances oxidative resistance during frying but also provides a more nutritionally balanced fatty acid profile, making it a potentially healthier option for high-temperature culinary applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate.
JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of yeartoyear, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
