Oxidative Changes of Vegetable Oils during Microwave Heating

DOSTÁLOVÁ J., HANZLÍK P., RÉBLOVÁ Z., POKORNÝ J. (2005): Oxidative changes of vegetable oils during microwave heating. Czech J. Food Sci., 23: 230–239. The oxidative stabilities of pork lard, sunflower, zero-erucic rapeseed, peanut and high-oleic peanut oils were tested under microwave heating conditions. Vegetable oils and lard were heated in a microwave oven for up to 40 min between 25°C and ...

Lubricant basestocks from vegetable oils

Oil Chemical Research. USDA l-ARS-NCAUR. 1815 N. U;liuersity Street, Peoria, IL 61604, USA Accepted 8 October 1999 Compared to the lubricants made of petroleum, vegetable-based lubricants are much more biodegradable but inferior in many other technical characteristics. The basestock typically contributes to more than 80% of lubricant and must meet performance criteria in such aspects as cleanli...

Determination of Metal Contents in Edible Vegetable Oils Produced in Iran Using Microwave-assisted Acid Digestion

The concentration of heavy metals in vegetable oils is an important criterion for the assessment of oil qualities with regard to freshness, keeping properties, storage and their influence on human nutrition and health. Trace heavy metals in vegetable oils are known to have an effect on the rate of oil oxidation. In this work, the contents of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn),...

The Determination of Stigmastadienes in Vegetable Oils

The development by collaborative study of a standardised method for the determination of the stigmastadienes content in vegetable oils is described. The procedure involves the isolation of the unsaponifiable matter in the oil ands its fractioning on a silica gel column. The fraction containing the steroidal hydrocarbons is then analysed by capillary gas chromatography and the quantitative asses...
