Antioxidant effects of extra virgin olive oil enriched by myrtle phenolic extracts on iron-mediated lipid peroxidation under intestinal conditions model

The aim of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal activities of phenolic extracts of extra virgin olive oil obtained from two distinct regions in Northwest Algeria. The first extra virgin oil (CHIALI) was produced industrially according to the international standards, whereas the second (TRAD) was produced by traditional methods. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH (diphenylpicrylhydrazine) method. The antimicrobial activity of the two phenolic extracts was assessed against Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Alternaria sp., Candida albicans by using microdilution and disk diffusion methods. The extraction yield was found to be 26.7% and 20.5% for the industrial (CHIALI) and traditional methods (TRAD), respectively. The phenolic extract of the industrial extra virgin oil exhibited better antioxidant activity (IC50 = 1.56 μg/ml) when compared to those of the traditional oil (IC50 = 6.27 μg/ml). Both phenolic extracts exerted bactericidal and antifungal activities. These activities were more important with the phenolic extract of the industrial oil. Taken together, our results showed that the phenolic extract of the industrial extra virgin oil had better antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal activities, owing to the extraction methods used.

Pan Frying

Consumption of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) rich fatty fish is known to provide an array of health benefits. However, high temperature in food preparation, such as pan-frying, potentially degrades eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) of the n-3 PUFAs by heat oxidation. The addition of antioxidant condiments, and herbs in particular, may retard PUFA peroxidation and preserve EPA and DHA during pan-frying. In this study, different types of antioxidant condiments (sage, rosemary, black peppercorn, thyme, basil, and garlic) were tested for antioxidant capacity, and the condiment with the highest capacity was selected for its effect on lipid oxidation of salmon. The changes in fatty acids and lipid peroxidation of salmon, during pan-frying with the selected condiment (olive oil infused with rosemary, RO(infused)), were compared with salmon prepared in extra virgin olive oil, olive oil, or without oil. The total saturated fatty acid was found to be less in pan fried salmon with RO(infused). None of the oil type conserved EPA- and DHA-content in salmon. However, RO(infused) lowered lipid peroxidation by lessening hydroperoxide and 4-HNE formation, but not the other related products (HDHA, HETE, isoprostanes). Our observation indicates that the antioxidant capacity of RO(infused), when it is incorporated with food, becomes limited.
