Quantitative Analysis of Peroxide Value in Virgin Coconut Oil by ATR- FTIR Spectroscopy
Oxidation of fats and oils is an important indicator for performance and shelf life of oils. As other vegetable oils, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is not susceptible to lipid oxidation. Thus, a rapid method for quantitative analysis of peroxide value in VCO was developed in this study using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy coupled with attenuated total reflectance (ATR). Thirty traini...
متن کاملDifferences in chemical components and antioxidant-related substances in virgin coconut oil from coconut hybrids and their parents
Chumphon Horticultural Research Centre (CHRC) is Thailand’s main coconut research unit. CHRC has developed three coconut cultivars: Sawi Hybrid No. 1 (Malayan Yellow Dwarf x West African Tall: MYD x WAT), Chumphon Hybrid No. 60 (Thai Tall: THT x WAT) and Chumphon Hybrid No. 2 (MYD x THT). This study compared some chemical components in virgin coconut oil (VCO) from coconut hybrids with their pa...
متن کاملAntistress and antioxidant effects of virgin coconut oil in vivo
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has been consumed worldwide for various health-related reasons and some of its benefits have been scientifically evaluated. Medium-chain fatty acids were found to be a potential antidepressant functional food; however, this effect had not been evaluated in VCO, which is rich in polyphenols and medium-chain fatty acids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antistres...
متن کاملHepatoprotective Activity of Dried- and Fermented-Processed Virgin Coconut Oil
The present study aims to determine the hepatoprotective effect of MARDI-produced virgin coconut oils, prepared by dried- or fermented-processed methods, using the paracetamol-induced liver damage in rats. Liver injury induced by 3 g/kg paracetamol increased the liver weight per 100 g bodyweight indicating liver damage. Histological observation also confirms liver damage indicated by the presen...
متن کاملCommercial virgin coconut oil : assessment of antimicrobial potential
Virgin coconut oil is defined as the oil obtained from fresh coconut meat, without undergoing any chemical processes. Virgin coconut oil is mainly sold on the basis of its antimicrobial activity which is contributed to by its lauric acid. This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of commercial virgin coconut oil. Agar well diffusion test and disc diffusion test were first done ...
