The performance characteristics of the engine and the emission levels with Copra Oil (CPO), Virgin Coconut (cocos nucifera) Oil (VCO), Tamanu (calaphyllum inopyllum) Oil (TMO), and Nangae (canarium indicum) Oil (NGO) are presented. The oils, obtained from naturally grown trees in Vanuatu, were tested as straight vegetable oils (SVOs) in a Diesel engine and the results are compared with those of neat diesel. The oils were converted to their fatty-acid-methyl-esters (FAMEs) using gas chromatography to determine their fatty acid compositions. The brake thermal efficiency with SVOs was found to be comparable to diesel. The structure of the alkyl chain and the carbon-to-hydrogen ratio were also studied. All the oils have Palmitic acid, Capric acid, Caprylic acid, and Oleic acid as the major fatty acids. The CPO and VCO have higher amounts of Oleic acid, which acts as an additive and breaks up the interaction between the major fatty acids at higher temperatures, reducing the viscosity. Emissions of CO2 were lower while those of CO, NOx, and SO2 were higher with SVOs compared to diesel. The results indicate that the local SVOs are good and inexpensive substitute fuels for Vanuatu that can help the country meet the UN’s sustainable development goals.

Fatty acids and their potassium soaps were screened for their toxicity to different life stages and eggs of the balsam woolly aphid (Adelgespiceae (Ratz.)). The most effective fatty acids for causing aphid mortality were in two major groups, one centering around capric acid (C10) within the low-chain saturated fatty acid series and the other around oleic acid (C18:1), within the unsaturated 18-carbon fatty acids. The potassium soaps were better aphicides than the corresponding acids; the soaps of caprylic, capric, oleic, and linoleic acids were the most effective. Eggs were less sensitive to the soaps than later stages of the aphid, and there was a large variation in their response to the soap treatments. The possibility of using fatty acids and soaps as a control for the balsam woolly aphid is discussed.

Oleic acid (OA) rich vegetable oils is important for the daily essential dietary oils intake but restrict to particular oil such as olive oil. However OA enrichment to other vegetable oil such as palm oil is always possible. OA can be obtained from cheap resources such as high free fatty acid crude palm oil (HFFA-CPO). OA concentrate from HFFA-CPO fatty acids mixture requires efficient and low cost technique. Urea complex crystallization fractionation is a classic method for fractionating saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids from polyunsaturated fatty acids of many vegetable oils. In this work, the separation and purification of oleic acid (OA) from unsaturated fatty acids mixture fraction (USFA) of HFFA-CPO fatty acids mixture by urea complex fractionation (UCF) was studied. The crystallization reaction conditions of urea inclusion for the non-urea complex fraction (NUCF) were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM) and the optimal model was developed. The results showed high content of OA (88%) in urea complex fraction (UCF) with 86% yield at optimal conditions of urea-to-USFAs ratio of 4.62 : 1 (w/w), crystallization temperature at –10°C and crystallization time of 24 h. The results have demonstrated that urea complex crystallization fractionation method is a very effective with low cost, stable, obtainable, and comparatively ease to recover of OA from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of an oil fatty acids mixture. Pure OA is plausible to be used back for the OA enrichment modification into palm oil for new dietary oil.

Abstract An international collaborative study of IUPAC methods II.D.19 and II.D.25 for preparation and GLC analysis of fatty acid methyl esters was begun in 1976. The IUPAC methodology, applicable to animal and vegetable oils and fats and fatty acids from all sources, contains special instructions for preparation and analysis of methyl esters of fatty acids containing 4 or more carbon atoms (analysis of milk fat). Twenty-three collaborators participated in the analysis of 5 known mixtures, 4 vegetable oils, 1 fish oil, and 2 butterfats. Several blind duplicate samples were included. The experimental data were subjected to statistical analysis to examine intra- and interlaboratory variation. Reproducibility and accuracy data for the higher fatty acid (14:0–22:1) mixtures and fish and vegetable oils were satisfactory and were in good agreement with results from an AOCS Smalley Committee check sample program involving analysis of the same samples. Typical coefficients of variation (%) at various concentrations were 15 (2% level), 8.5 (5% level), 7 (10% level), and 3 (50% level). Low recoveries and poor reproducibility were characteristic of results obtained for butyric acid in the butterfat and related known mixtures. A coefficient of variation of about 19% was found for analysis of butyric acid in butterfat, vs. coefficients of variation in the range of 4–13% for similar levels of other components in butterfat and other samples. The IUPAC methodology for GLC analysis .of fats and oils other than milk fats has been adopted by the AOAC as official first action to replace the current GLC method, 28.063-28.067.

The efforts to modify the fatty acid composition of milk have intensified with health conscious nutrition coming to the forefront.This experiment of ours was designed to investigate to what extent the natural-based feed additives, such as oilseeds, can influence the fatty acid composition of cow’s milk.Further information was gained about feeding of oilseeds in specific amounts to be fitted into the technology of a large-scale dairy farm in practice. The feed supplements were whole, untreated rapeseed and whole, untreated linseed, as part of a total mixed ration. In case of saturated fatty acids when supplementing with whole rapeseed the most significant change was observable in the concentration of the caprylic acid, capric acid, undecylic acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, stearic acid. In case of unsaturated fatty acids the quantity of oleic acid enhanced considerably. When observating the feeding with whole linseed the concentration of many saturated fatty acids lowered (caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid). The quantity of some unsaturated fatty acids was showing a distinct rise after feeding with linseed, this way the oleic acid, α-linolenic acid, conjugated linoleic acid, eicosadienoic acid. The aim of the study was to produce food which meets the changed demands of customers, as well.

Abstract The fatty acid composition of fats and oils is commonly determined by gas chromatography after preparing fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Capillary columns coated with polyethylene glycol emerged as the preferred separation tool for the quantification of the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained primarily in marine oils. However, their selectivity is inadequate for measuring the trans fatty acids (TFA) contained in refined vegetable oils, dairy fats, and marine oils. Highly polar 100% poly(biscyanopropyl siloxane) capillary columns provide the necessary selectivity, but small differences in the phase polarity caused by column age, conditioning, or manufacturing variations affect the reproducibility of their separations of these complex samples. In this study, a simple procedure is described to compensate for small variations in column selectivity by adjusting the elution temperature. The balance between the dipole-induced dipole interactions and dispersive interactions was determined by measuring selectivity factors [SF(i)] corresponding to the elution of an unsaturated FAME such as 18:3n-3 relative to two saturated FAME such as 20:0 and 22:0. Knowing the SF(i) provided by the installed capillary column at a given elution temperature, and the SF(i) of the target separation, we propose a simple calculation to determine the necessary elution temperature adjustment to achieve (or restore) the desired separation. After determining the SF(i) which provides the optimal separation of TFA, the novel methodology was applied to the separation of refined vegetable oils, butter fats, and marine oils.

Hot Peppers

The pungency in hot peppers [Capsicum annuum (L.) var. annuum] is mostly due to two capsaicinoids, capsaicin (CAP) and dihydrocapsaicin (DC), which are amide derivatives of vanillylamine and 8-methyl-6-nonenoic acid (E) or 8-methyl-nonanoic acid (A), respectively. During our investigation of the mechanism of capsaicinoid-specific metabolism in pepper fruit, we have developed a method to extract, purify, and quantitate these fatty acids from the free fatty acid pool in placental tissue. Fresh placenta was ground using a mortar and pestle and extracted with diethyl ether. Fatty acids were methanolysed and fatty acid methyl esters were quantitated using GC with capric acid as internal standard. Capsaicinoids accumulated in the same placenta were extracted with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and quantitated using HPLC. The lipid fraction had to be separated from capsaicinoids, since capsaicinoids yielded about 10% of their respective fatty acids during methanolysis. An aminopropyl column was used to separate capsaicinoids from free fatty acids. Extraction recovery for both fatty acids was greater than 70%. This procedure is being used to quantitate fatty acid precursors for capsaicinoid biosynthesis in pepper placenta. We will demonstrate use of this procedure with pepper selections varying in CAP/DC ratio to evaluate the effect of metabolic precursors on capsaicinoid metabolism.

Cholesterol Concentration

The fatty acids, cholesterol compositions and the ratio between unsaturated and saturated fatty acids are important parameters for the determination of the nutritional value of certain oils. Most oils sold in our markets are claimed they are cholesterol- free and their fatty acid profile is unknown. To determine the cholesterol and fatty acid profile of commercially sold vegetable oils in three places, twelve oil samples were analyzed for their cholesterol and fatty acid compositions. Cholesterol was detected in most sample oils except in nigger seed and peanut oils. Locally produced Sunflower oil has significantly (p < 0.05) highest cholesterol concentration (24.31±0.85) while Modjo oil has the least concentration (0.78± 0.16 mg/l). High saturated fatty acids were found in palm oil (43.87) with predominant presence of palmitic acid. Oleic acid (C16:0) is the predominant one in sunflower oil. Hamaressa and Modjo oils contained 46.12%, 16.7% Erucic acid (C20:1) respectively. Linoleic acid (C18:2 6c) was predominant in soybean oils (52.45–59.54%), corn oil (61.73%) and sunflower oil (43.54%). The highest percentage composition of alpha-linolenic acid was found in Hamaressa oil (1.27%) followed by Modjo oil (0.5%). Sesame, peanut and sunflower ( high oleic acid) oils were found to be better for salad and cooking purposes than other oils due to lower saturated and higher monounsaturated fatty acid contents. In general, the research output disclosed the quantity of cholesterol detected in sample oils contradicts the label of cholesterol claimed by most of the producers and marketers.
