Analysis of oxidation products and toxic compounds in edible and blended oil during the deep-frying of french fries.

UNLABELLED

This study sought to analyze the oxidative products [acid value (AV), free fatty acids (FFA), conjugated dienoic acid (CDA), p-anisidine value (p-AV), antioxidant-prooxidant balance (APB) value] and toxic compounds [3-monochloropropane diol (3-MCPD), glycidyl ester (GE)] in edible oils after deep-frying. The deep-frying edible oils evaluated herein included soybean oil (S), palm oil (P), canola oil (C), grape seed oil (G), and a 1:1 blend (SC, SG, PC, PG, and CG). As frying time increased, the level of AV in PC, total FFA contents in CG, and p-AV in CG significantly increased up to 200%, 45.5%, and 410.5%, respectively (p < 0.05). The levels of 3-MCPD, and GE were 0.81-6.28 µg/mL and 0.14-2.84 µg/mL, respectively. The levels of 3-MCPD, GE, CDA, and APB changed significantly as frying time increased. Analysis of the correlation between oxidation products and toxic compounds indicated that the contents of 3-MCPD and palmitic acid were positively correlated.
