The response surface method designed by Box–Behnken was used to optimize the degumming process conditions. Under the optimal conditions of water addition of 6 mL/100 g, ultrasonic temperature of 45°C, ultrasonic time of 10 min, and ultrasonic power of 60 W, the degumming rate was 73.82%, which was 21.69% higher than that of hydration degumming (52.13%). The phosphorus content of ultrasound-assisted hydration degummed oil (31.21 mg/kg) was significantly lower than that of hydration degummed oil (57.08 mg/kg) and soybean crude oil (119.23 mg/kg). The phospholipid composition and content of degummed oil (phosphatidic acid [PA]: 2.00 mg/g) were lower than that of the hydrated degummed oil (phosphatidylethanolamine [PE]: 0.93 mg/g; PA: 2.28 mg/g) and soybean crude oil (phosphatidylcholine: 9.50 mg/g, PE: 7.28 mg/g, phosphatidylinositol: 7.13 mg/g, and PA: 3.41 mg/g). The results showed that ultrasonic-assisted degumming could significantly reduce the acid value of oil (1.60 mg/g) and slightly reduce the iodine value (130 g/100 g). Moreover, the oxidation stability of the oil was slightly improved. In addition, ultrasonic-assisted hydration degumming could improve the color of oil and slightly reduce the content of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) in soybean oil. Aldehydes, alcohols, and acids were identified as the main volatile flavor components for the degummed oil. Therefore, the ultrasonic-assisted hydration method can improve the degumming effect and soybean oil quality.</p>\u0000 <p><i>Practical Applications</i>: Response surface methodology was used to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted degumming process of soybean crude oil.

Moreover, ultrasonic-assisted hydration degumming could slightly reduce the content of UFAs in soybean oil.

Combinations of quinoid compounds and other oxidation inducers with flaxseed oil (FO), which is rich in omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, show promise for improving the efficacy of antitumor drugs. Effects of benzo-, naphtho-, and anthraquinones, as well as metronidazole and a number of nitro-1,2,4-triazoles on the oxidative stability of FO, were studied. To this end, kinetic curves were obtained showing the accumulation of hydroperoxides in FO during storage at 37°C with free access to atmospheric oxygen.
