The method examined heating time (10, 20, and 30 min), temperature (70°C, 80°C, and 90°C), and the addition of water per 250 g of seeds (500, 1000, and 1500 mL). Concurrently, the soaking method evaluated factors such as soaking time (12, 24, and 36 h), NaCl concentration (5%, 10%, and 15%), and water per 250 g of seeds (500, 1000, and 1500 mL). For Microwave treatment, the parameters were Power (180, 270, and 360 W), Temperature (40°C, 50°C, and 60°C), Time (1, 2, and 3 min). The most suitable for AITC reduction was found while heating treatment, where the AITC content was found to be 0.04% ± 0.01% at time (30 min), temperature (90°C), and addition of water per 250 g seeds (1000 mL). AITC content was measured as the dependent variable for treatment to assess the effectiveness of these conditions.

It is a measurement of fuel resistance to deterioration upon exposure to air, moisture, heat, and microorganisms that are present in real life environment. Fuel with poor oxidative stability is prone to oxidation and degradation, leading to the formation of undesired free fatty acids and polymer deposits that may cause failure at fuel pump and clogging of fuel injectors. In this study, the suitability of the PetroOXY method as a rapid alternative to the conventional Rancimat test for oxidative stability assessment was evaluated. Palm biodiesel and commercial biodiesel blends (B7, B10, and B20) were analyzed using both methods. A strong linear correlation was established for biodiesel samples (<i>R</i>\u0000 <sup>2</sup> = 0.9569), indicating that PetroOXY is a reliable tool for rapid screening of biodiesel oxidative stability. In contrast, only a moderate correlation was observed for the commercial biodiesel blends, likely due to the compositional complexity of fossil diesel hydrocarbons and variations in additive formulations. Antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) was found to be effective in retarding the biodiesel autoxidation upon prolonged storage. Palm biodiesel treated with a low dosage of BHT, that is, 50 mg/kg, was able to maintain the Rancimat induction period above 15 h even after 18 months of storage in typical laboratory conditions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17182,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society","volume":"103 6","pages":"499-508"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148208982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC)–MS/MS using supercritical carbon dioxide offers a faster and more environmentally friendly alternative. However, the identification of positional isomers of oxidized lipids (lipid hydroperoxide [LOOH]) has not yet been achieved with SFC–MS/MS. Our research group has previously demonstrated that using sodium ion in LC–MS/MS induces specific fragmentation at the hydroperoxide group of LOOH, enabling the discrimination of LOOH positional isomers. This is essential information for identifying oxidation mechanisms such as autoxidation and photo–oxidation. In this study, we applied this method to SFC–MS/MS and attempted to distinguish six positional isomers of ethyl linoleate hydroperoxide (ELAOOH). Under non–column conditions, flow injection analysis with sodium acetate addition revealed the formation of sodium adducts of ELAOOH and specific fragmentation at the hydroperoxy group. Subsequent column evaluation showed that an octadecylsilane (ODS) column provided almost no retention, whereas Inertsil ODS–EP, which is an ODS column with a polar functional group, allowed good retention and separation. Through optimization, we successfully analyzed all six ELAOOH positional isomers. Finally, we analyzed canola oil that had undergone autoxidation or photo–oxidation under optimized conditions. In autoxidation, ELAOOH isomers with hydroperoxy groups at the 9– and 13–positions increased, while in photo–oxidation, isomers were generated at the 10– and 12–positions. These profiles demonstrated that the optimized SFC–MS/MS method using sodium ion can identify lipid oxidation mechanisms in actual samples. This method has the potential to become a powerful and environmentally friendly tool that can provide valuable information on lipid oxidation while significantly reducing the use of organic solvents compared to conventional methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":17182,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society","volume":"103 6","pages":"623-632"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aocs.70089","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148208910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
