Effect of sunlight on the physicochemical properties of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein
Journal Title: Food Research - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In this study, the effect of sunlight on the quality of palm olein was assessed. Palm olein samples were subjected to sunlight (34-40°C) and ambient storage (~24°C) for 90 days. Oil samples were collected at 30 days intervals for quality analysis. At the beginning of the experiment, the peroxide (PV), p-anisidine (p-AnV), total oxidation (TOTOX), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and free fatty acid (FFA) values of palm olein were 2.67 ppm, 0.68, 6.02, 0.69 and 0.07% respectively; color 1R, 6Y and induction time (IT) 23.89 and 26.55 h for oil-containing antioxidant and oil without antioxidants respectively. After 90 days storage at room temperature, the PV, p-An-V, TOTOX, TBA and FFA values were respectively ranged between 5.19-7.13 ppm, 1.27-2.99, 11.65-17.25, 0.97-1.73 ppm and 0.11-0.12%; the color in the red and yellow unit 1.17-1.19R and 6.00-6.10Y respectively; and the induction time 22.82-25.77 h. However, the same parameters after 90 days of exposure to sunlight were ranged in the same order, between 34.11-36.50 ppm, 28.22-29.65, 96.44-102.65, 5.38-5.44 ppm and 0.63-0.67% respectively; the color in the red and yellow units 0.20R and 0.77-0.80Y respectively; and the induction time 0.01 h. Results showed that sunlight significantly reduced the quality of palm olein, even with the presence of antioxidants.
