In this study, oil was extracted from unhulled silflower seeds, and its composition and oxidative stability were evaluated. The oil content in unhulled silflower seeds was 15.2% (wt/wt), and its fatty acid composition was similar to that of sunflower oil. The level of total polar compounds (TPC) in the oil was 12.3% (wt/wt), and the content of total phenolics was 1.12 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g oil. Noteworthily, 4.89% squalene was isolated from silflower oil indicating its potential application as an alternative source of squalene. Silflower oil had lower oxidative stability as indicated by the oxidative stability index (OSI) at 110°C and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), presumably due to its high level of chlorophyll (1002.8 mg/kg).

A specific application is food emulsions, of which the physical and oxidative stability need to be supported. The emulsifying properties of diverse plant proteins have already been largely covered in literature, whereas only in a few studies the chemical stability of such emulsions was addressed, especially regarding lipid oxidation. In the few examples available mostly the effects caused by proteins were elaborated, whereas those caused by non-protein components have hardly been considered. Yet, plant protein ingredients are characterized by high compositional complexity, with notably a plethora of non-protein components. Topics covered in this review, therefore, include the composition of various types of plant protein ingredients (i.e., legumes, oil seeds) in relation to the fractionation processes used, and the potential effects on lipid oxidation in emulsions. The composition varies greatly among species and depends on the harvest conditions (i.e., year, location), and genetics. In addition, fractionation processes may lead to the accumulation or dilution of components, and induce chemical changes. Both protein and non-protein components can act as pro- or antioxidants contingent on their concentration and/or location in emulsions. Since the chemical composition of plant protein ingredients is often hardly reported, this makes a-priori prediction of an overall effect difficult, if not impossible.

Currently, chickpea protein is used in products made from flour, such as cookies, breads, and noodles. Chickpea protein emulsion also has many potential applications in food, such as delaying lipid oxidation, transporting nutrients, and serving as a substitute for animal fat. However, the physical, chemical stability and biological activity of chickpea protein emulsion are easily affected by many factors, including salt ionic strength, pH, temperature, and so forth in food processing. In order to better apply chickpea protein emulsions to more real food substrates, it is necessary and meaningful to study the factors that affect the characteristics of the emulsion. The properties of chickpea protein emulsion can be improved by pretreatment of chickpea protein, including pH adjustment, cross-linking by glutaminase, hydrolysis of by protein hydrolase, formation of complex with glycosides or polysaccharides and acetylation modification.
