Abstract
This study investigates the antioxidant interactions of γ-tocopherol, β-sitosterol, and ellagic acid in iron walnut oil within ethanol and ethyl acetate, assessing their impact on oxidative stability. In ethanol, γ-tocopherol and ellagic acid display initial synergistic effects, enhancing free radical scavenging beyond their individual capabilities. Conversely, γ-tocopherol and β-sitosterol show antagonistic effects, reducing their combined scavenging abilities. Kinetic analysis indicates ellagic acid's robust scavenging, generally outperforming combinations of antioxidants. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that solvent polarity significantly impacts hydrogen bonding interactions. Ethanol, with its higher polarity, promoted more extensive hydrogen bonding compared to ethyl acetate, which imposed constraints on such interactions due to its lower polarity. Notably, despite its poor solubility in ethyl acetate, ellagic acid exhibits enhanced synergy with γ-tocopherol, likely via electron transfer. These findings underscore the intricate dynamics of antioxidant interactions, further emphasizing the pivotal role of solvent polarity in modulating these interactions. These results indicated that solvent properties significantly influence antioxidant behavior, yet they also introduce novel insights specific to the iron walnut oil system.
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.
