Abstract:

Shortenings are a mixture of one or more vegetable edible oil with partial hydrogenation in mixed with or without animal fat. In this study, three formulations of shortenings, with the best commercial and technological properties were prepared. Increasing consumption of shortenings at the human daily diet, with low adverse coronary effects in human daily diet, three formulations prepared using a mixture of different oils and Palm fat (as the basis) followed by the evaluation the fatty acid profile and chemical properties. All formulations were studied in terms of suitability in food applications. The obtained results indicated that there were no significant differences between physicochemical properties, peroxide value, refractive index and acidity of samples. Only the melting point had a significant difference (p < 0.05). Apart from trans fatty acids and oleic acid contents, there were no differences between fatty acids pattern, and the palmitic, stearic, linoleic and linolenic acids. The results indicated that between total saturated fatty acids, total unsaturated fatty acids and MUFA/PUFA there were great differences that must be noticed due to nutritional attributes. Peroxide value of samples indicated that the percent of oleic, linolenic and linoleic acids have a detrimental role on the peroxidative stability of analyzed formulations. Due to the results, all of the formulations can be used as a replacement for traditional hydrogenated fats in the bakery industry, only their trans fatty acids must be lowered.

Blending of Milkfat with Refined Palm Oil and its Fractions: Impact on Physicochemical Properties and Fatty Acid Profile

Milkfat has the highest price among all the edible oils and fats and plays a significant role in the economics, nutrition and physicochemical properties of milk and milk products. It can be admixed or replaced with less expensive oils and fats of vegetable or animal origins notably palm oils. Blending of edible fat with vegetable oils is a common practice in many countries to improve the physic...

Physicochemical Properties, Fatty Acid Profile and Antioxidant Activity of Peanut Oil

The oil from seeds of 4 pea nut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties: Golden, Bari 2000, Mongphalla, and Mongphalli 334 cultivated in arid zones, was subjected to the comparative evaluation of its physicochemical properties, fatty acid profile and antioxidant activity. Pea nut seeds were found to be a rich source of crude fat (45.09-51.63 g/100 g dry weight). The physicochemical properties of the oi...

Modification of egg yolk fatty acids profile by using different oil sources

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary oil sources supplementation on laying hens’ performance and fatty acids profile of egg yolks. Seventy-two 23-week-old laying hens (Tetra-SL) divided into six experimental diets (four replicates and three birds per replication) in a completely randomized design for nine weeks. Experimental diets were included: 1) control (no oi...
