Free fatty acidity (FFA), peroxide (PV) and p-anisidin (p-AV) values, saponification number, total carotenoid and phenolic contents of cold pressed corn oils were higher than that of the refined winterized corn oils. Linoleic and oleic acids (approximately 53-54% and 30-31%, respectively) were detected as the major fatty acids in both oil samples. Fifteen different sterols with a majority of β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol were quantified in both oil samples. Although phenolic compounds were not quantified in the refined winterized oil samples, some flavonoids (hesperidin, rutin) and phenolic acids (gallic, syringic, rosmaniric and trans-ferulic) were detected in the cold pressed oil samples. This study concludes that cold pressed corn oils could be superior in terms of bioactive compounds but still need some quality improvements for sensory attributes.

The seeds were found to contain 14.98% oil, 17.31% protein and 4.14% ash. The peroxide value of the oil (11.39 meqO 2 /kg oil) was within acceptable limits according to codex, but the free fatty acidity value (3.45%) exceeded the limit. The oil melted at -20.18 °C and crystallized at -3.71 °C. Linoleic acid (51.97%), β-sitosterol (67.56 mg/100 g oil) and γ-tocopherol (53.60 mg/kg oil) were determined as the main components, respectively. Six sensory descriptive terms (sweet, spicy, raw vegetable, straw, roasted and throat-catching) were described for the oil. Consumer tests proved that cold-pressed milk thistle seed oil had intermediate acceptance scores and consumer satisfaction was moderate. In conclusion, it is thought that milk thistle seeds could be used for the production of edible gourmet oil. Further studies regarding the composition of the bio-active molecules in the oil are anticipated.

Blood lipid values and one-day food consumption records were collected. Statistically significant relation was found between the consumption of salad with olive oil, low-fat cheese, semi-skimmed milk, walnut and triglyceride (TG) values; and of total olive oil, fresh fruit consumption and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) values (P<0.05). A positive correlation (P<0.05; r=0.253; r=0.432) existed between red meat and chicken (without skin) consumption and TG values. Correlation between sunflower oil consumption and TG and LDL values was statistically insignificant. Fried food consumption and LDL values were positively correlated (P<0.05; r=0.272). Positive correlation between physical activity and LDL value was also identified (P<0.05). Results indicated that the consumption of moderate amounts of olive oil, fresh vegetables and fruits, walnuts, low-fat dairy products, legumes and cereals, major contents of the Mediterranean type diet, can change LDL and/or TG values in a positive way.

INTRODUCTION Fish oil FO is a natural source of polyunsaturated fatty acids PUFA and contains sig... more INTRODUCTION Fish oil FO is a natural source of polyunsaturated fatty acids PUFA and contains significant levels of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid EPA and docosahexaenoic acid DHA. Some of the beneficial effects of omega-3 PUFA are prevention of a number of diseases, such as coronary heart diseases, inflammation, hypotriglyceridemia, allergies, hypertension, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and cancer 1. Monoglycerides MG and their derivatives are mainly used as food emulsifiers. Generally, MG is used for the prevention of starch retrogradation due to interaction between MG-amylose and retardation of staleness in bakery and confectionary industries. Also, monoglycerides are used for control of emulsion and foam stability of dairy and oil based products 2. Sunflower wax SW is a vegetable wax derived during winterization of sunflower oil and consists of long chain saturated C-42 to C-60 esters derived from fatty alcohols and fatty acids 3. SW can be used in emulsions for creating new textures in many industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and paint. Oils and fats are one of the important components of human diet and ingredients of food industry. Oils and fats are preferred as carriers of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and source of essential fatty acids and energy. On the other hand, hydrogenation, partial hydrogenation, fractionation and interesterfication are common technologies to

Research paper thumbnail of Assessment of Thermal and Textural Characteristics and Consumer Preferences of Lemon and Strawberry Flavored Fish Oil Organogels

Some of the benefits of fish oil consumption include reducing the risk of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer s disease and cancer 1 4. These benefits are mainly due to the fact that fish oil is rich in long chain PUFAs such as eicosapentaenoic acid EPA and docosahexaenoic acid DHA 5 7. Because of the fact that PUFAs cannot be synthesized in the human body in sufficient amounts, these essential lipids have to be acquired from various dietary sources 7. Fish and fish oil are the main sources of EPA and DHA, and nutritionists recommend that these fatty acids should be mostly provided together with food 8. The inclusion of fish oil into the diet of pregnant women, infant and children is especially recommended as the PUFAs present in fish oil is likely to have positive effects on the development of brain and retina 9. Nevertheless, fish oil is usually related with fishy off-flavor and therefore fish oil consumption is quite limited 7. Fish oil constitutes less than 1 of dietary oil consumption in the world 10. On the other hand, because of the fact that fish oil is rich in PUFA that are highly susceptible to oxidation, it is difficult to achieve fish oil containing products

TF itself created oleogel at a 30% addition level, while HTF, MG and MDG oleogels were prepared at 10% addition levels. Fatty acid composition data showed that the oleogel of HTF (HTFO) was quite similar to those of MG and MDG oleogels. Solid fat content, free fatty acidity and peroxide values were found to be in acceptable ranges for HTFO. Thermal properties, crystal morphology and X-ray diffraction patterns were also evaluated. Rheological analyses indicated that all oleogels had higher storage modulus (G´) than loss modulus (G´´). The time-sweep test showed that after applying higher shear rates, the gels re-formed at rest. Further, all oleogels maintained their gelled consistency until around 54 °C. The results suggest that HTF could be ...

Introduction Wax refers to the mixture of long-chain apolar compounds forming a protective layer ... more Introduction Wax refers to the mixture of long-chain apolar compounds forming a protective layer on the surface of some plant and animal tissues, algae, fungi and bacteria. Also, there are some mineral waxes originating from fossil sources. Although chemically, a wax is the ester of a longchain acid and a long-chain alcohol, almost all waxes are a heterogeneous mixture of various compounds including hydrocarbons, wax esters, sterol esters, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, alkanoic acids, terpenes and others. Typically waxes are soluble in oils, non-polar solvents, ethers, esters and ketones. They are kneadable at room temperature, have low viscosity above their melting point, generally having no stinginess, coarse or fine crystalline materials, having a melting range between 40 and 120 , mostly emulsion forming, combustible, lubricant, having a high flash point and high dielectric constant compounds. They could be produced with various colors and odors depending on the level of refining and/or processing conditions 1, 2. Waxes are usually classified according to their origins plant waxes, animal waxes, microbial waxes, mineral waxes, synthetic waxes, etc. , and named after their source materials. In this study, selected animal waxes beeswax, shellac wax, whale spermaceti wax, and lanolin

Free fatty acidity (FFA), peroxide (PV) and p-anisidin (p-AV) values, saponification number, total carotenoid and phenolic contents of cold pressed corn oils were higher than that of the refined winterized corn oils. Linoleic and oleic acids (approximately 53-54% and 30-31%, respectively) were detected as the major fatty acids in both oil samples. Fifteen different sterols with a majority of β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol were quantified in both oil samples. Although phenolic compounds were not quantified in the refined winterized oil samples, some flavonoids (hesperidin, rutin) and phenolic acids (gallic, syringic, rosmaniric and trans-ferulic) were detected in the cold pressed oil samples. This study concludes that cold pressed corn oils could be superior in terms of bioactive compounds but still need some quality improvements for sensory attributes.

Organojelatör konsantrasyonu ağırlıkça %10 olarak seçilmiştir. Hazırlanan oleojellerin önemli oranda doymamış yağ asitleri içerdiği, sadece PGSO örneğinde palmitik asit oranının bir miktar arttığı gözlenmiştir. Oleojellerin yağ bağlama kapasitelerinin %99'un üstünde ve jelleşme zamanının 4 dakikanın altında olduğu, renklerinin ise kremsi sarı tonlarda olduğu görülmüştür. Oldukça dayanıklı jel yapısında olan oleojellerde ´ (AMO) ve  (PGSO) kristal polimorfları belirlenmiştir. AMO ve PGSO örneklerinin ergime pik noktaları sırasıyla 62.4 ve 47.9°C olarak ölçülmüştür. AMO örneğinin depo modül değeri 110-130 kPa aralığında olup PGSO oleojelinkinden (13-14 kPa) daha yüksektir. Yani AMO örneği çok daha sert ve katı yapıdadır. Her iki oleojel örneği de mekanik ve termal geri-dönüşüm özelliği göstermiştir. PGSO örneğinin çarpraz-geçiş sıcaklığı 62°C civarında olup, bu noktaya kadar jel yapı kısmen korunmuştur. İki oleojelin de teknolojik özellikler açısından birçok gıdada katı yağ ikamesi olarak kullanılabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The oil was treated with two different addition levels (0.05% and 0.3%, w/w), and two different treatment times (0.5 h and 3.0 h) under constant temperature (25 °C). The results indicated that all adsorbent treatments improved the oil's physico-chemical properties. Most importantly, the oil's free fatty acid, peroxide and p-anisidine values were significantly reduced by Ti-MOF and γ-CD-MOF in comparison with the control sample. The oil showed no contamination by the metals during the MOF treatments. There were no significant changes in the fatty acid or sterol composition of the treated oil, while α-tocopherol contents decreased to some extent. This study proved the possibility of MOF as adsorbents for crude oil purification, and showed the great potential of Ti-MOF and γ-CD-MOF as promising adsorbents.

Blood lipid values and one-day food consumption records were collected. Statistically significant relation was found between the consumption of salad with olive oil, low-fat cheese, semi-skimmed milk, walnut and triglyceride (TG) values; and of total olive oil, fresh fruit consumption and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) values (P<0.05). A positive correlation (P<0.05; r=0.253; r=0.432) existed between red meat and chicken (without skin) consumption and TG values. Correlation between sunflower oil consumption and TG and LDL values was statistically insignificant. Fried food consumption and LDL values were positively correlated (P<0.05; r=0.272). Positive correlation between physical activity and LDL value was also identified (P<0.05). Results indicated that the consumption of moderate amounts of olive oil, fresh vegetables and fruits, walnuts, low-fat dairy products, legumes and cereals, major contents of the Mediterranean type diet, can change LDL and/or TG values in a positive way.

Some of the beneficial effects of omega-3 PUFA are prevention of a number of diseases, such as coronary heart diseases, inflammation, hypotriglyceridemia, allergies, hypertension, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and cancer 1. Monoglycerides MG and their derivatives are mainly used as food emulsifiers. Generally, MG is used for the prevention of starch retrogradation due to interaction between MG-amylose and retardation of staleness in bakery and confectionary industries. Also, monoglycerides are used for control of emulsion and foam stability of dairy and oil based products 2. Sunflower wax SW is a vegetable wax derived during winterization of sunflower oil and consists of long chain saturated C-42 to C-60 esters derived from fatty alcohols and fatty acids 3. SW can be used in emulsions for creating new textures in many industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and paint. Oils and fats are one of the important components of human diet and ingredients of food industry. Oils and fats are preferred as carriers of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and source of essential fatty acids and energy. On the other hand, hydrogenation, partial hydrogenation, fractionation and interesterfication are common technologies to

Some of the benefits of fish oil consumption include reducing the risk of cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer s disease and cancer 1 4. These benefits are mainly due to the fact that fish oil is rich in long chain PUFAs such as eicosapentaenoic acid EPA and docosahexaenoic acid DHA 5 7. Because of the fact that PUFAs cannot be synthesized in the human body in sufficient amounts, these essential lipids have to be acquired from various dietary sources 7. Fish and fish oil are the main sources of EPA and DHA, and nutritionists recommend that these fatty acids should be mostly provided together with food 8. The inclusion of fish oil into the diet of pregnant women, infant and children is especially recommended as the PUFAs present in fish oil is likely to have positive effects on the development of brain and retina 9. Nevertheless, fish oil is usually related with fishy off-flavor and therefore fish oil consumption is quite limited 7. Fish oil constitutes less than 1 of dietary oil consumption in the world 10. On the other hand, because of the fact that fish oil is rich in PUFA that are highly susceptible to oxidation, it is difficult to achieve fish oil containing products

TF itself created oleogel at a 30% addition level, while HTF, MG and MDG oleogels were prepared at 10% addition levels. Fatty acid composition data showed that the oleogel of HTF (HTFO) was quite similar to those of MG and MDG oleogels. Solid fat content, free fatty acidity and peroxide values were found to be in acceptable ranges for HTFO. Thermal properties, crystal morphology and X-ray diffraction patterns were also evaluated. Rheological analyses indicated that all oleogels had higher storage modulus (G´) than loss modulus (G´´). The time-sweep test showed that after applying higher shear rates, the gels re-formed at rest. Further, all oleogels maintained their gelled consistency until around 54 °C. The results suggest that HTF could be ...

Introduction Wax refers to the mixture of long-chain apolar compounds forming a protective layer ... more Introduction Wax refers to the mixture of long-chain apolar compounds forming a protective layer on the surface of some plant and animal tissues, algae, fungi and bacteria. Also, there are some mineral waxes originating from fossil sources. Although chemically, a wax is the ester of a longchain acid and a long-chain alcohol, almost all waxes are a heterogeneous mixture of various compounds including hydrocarbons, wax esters, sterol esters, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, alkanoic acids, terpenes and others. Typically waxes are soluble in oils, non-polar solvents, ethers, esters and ketones. They are kneadable at room temperature, have low viscosity above their melting point, generally having no stinginess, coarse or fine crystalline materials, having a melting range between 40 and 120 , mostly emulsion forming, combustible, lubricant, having a high flash point and high dielectric constant compounds. They could be produced with various colors and odors depending on the level of refining and/or processing conditions 1, 2. Waxes are usually classified according to their origins plant waxes, animal waxes, microbial waxes, mineral waxes, synthetic waxes, etc. , and named after their source materials. In this study, selected animal waxes beeswax, shellac wax, whale spermaceti wax, and lanolin
