A polpa da macaúba (Acromia aculeata) representa 45% do fruto, e dela pode-se extrair um óleo rico em compostos ativos, como os carotenoides e flavonoides, que conferem ao óleo uma maior resistência à oxidação. Para que o óleo possa ser consumido e utilizado em diversos processos industriais é necessário conhecer o seu comportamento e estabilidade perante as condições de processamento. E com isso, o principal objetivo deste projeto é monitorar a qualidade do óleo da polpa de macaúba perante o aquecimento em condições controladas. Buscando tal propósito, o óleo foi obtido e caracterizado, analisando o teor de β-caroteno, flavonoides, ácidos graxos livres, cor e a absortividade molar. Os ensaios termoxidativos foram realizados a 140, 160 e 180 °C e durante os ensaios amostras foram retiradas aos 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 e 140 min de aquecimento e a caracterização dos óleos foi realizada. Os tratamentos termoxidativos provocaram degradação dos compostos ativos, já que houve uma redução nos teores de flavonoides e β-caroteno de aproximadamente 72% e 88%, respectivamente. Entretanto, pequenas variações foram determinadas para os teores de ácidos graxos livres (AGL). A absortividade molar dos óleos aumentou com a temperatura e tempo de exposição em até 1361% e 184% para os comprimentos de onda de 232 nm e 270 nm, respectivamente, o que indica a formação de compostos de degradação primários e secundários. As análises de cor dos óleos mostraram que houve perda de coloração após os testes termoxidativos, que pode ser resultado da degradação de β-caroteno. Os resultados obtidos para o efeito do tratamento térmico e do tempo podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de processos industriais destinados a preservação da qualidade do produto. AbstractThe pulp of the macaúba (Acromia aculeata) represents 45% of the fruit, from which it is possible to extract an oil rich in active compounds, such as carotenoids and flavonoids, which give the oil a higher resistance to oxidation. In order for the oil to be consumed and used in various industrial processes, it is necessary to know its behavior and stability in relation to the processing conditions. And with that, the main objective of this project is to monitor the oil quality of the macaúba pulp before heating under controlled conditions. For this purpose, the oil was obtained and characterized, analyzing the content of β-carotene, flavonoids, free fatty acids, color and the molar absorptivity. The thermoxidative tests were performed at 140, 160 and 180 ºC and during the tests samples were remove at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 140 minutes of heating and the characterization of the oils was performed. The thermoxidative treatments caused degradation of the active compounds, since there was a reduction in the flavonoid and β-carotene contents of approximately 72% and 88%, respectively. However, small variations were determined for free fatty acids (FFA). The molar absorptivity of the oils increased with the temperature and exposure time by up to 1361% and 184% for the wavelengths of 232 nm and 270 nm, respectively, indicating the formation of primary and secondary degradation compounds. The color analysis of the oils showed that there was loss of coloration after the thermoxidative tests, which may be the result of the degradation of β-carotene. The results obtained for the effect of the heat treatment and time can contribute to the development of industrial processes destined to the preservation of the quality of the product.

Cooking oil is one of the essential ingredients of everyday life. Cooking oil is made from the mother's acid ester with glycerol. Cooking oil that is used repeatedly can harm health. The use of recurrent oil results in oil damage and affects the quality where the indicator of damage to cooking oil can be seen from the levels of free fatty acids and peroxides. To determine the effect of repeated frying on the quality of cooking oil in terms of the parameters of the levels of free fatty acids and peroxides. The research design used in this study is quantitative with experiments. The cooking oil used is bulk cooking oil and packaged cooking oil used to fry vegetable food ingredients, namely tofu. Numbers of peroxide and free fatty acids can be known through the titration method. The peroxide number test results have increased from the repetition of the third frying to branded oil and second repetition of bulk oil. Peroxide numbers obtained are higher than required by SNI (1.00 mg O2/100g). Examination of the levels of free fatty acids in samples of branded oil and bulk oil shows that all samples are by the oil quality requirements set by SNI (Max. 0.30% b/b).

Whole inshore male capelin (Mallotus villosus) were stored at −23 °C for 2 mo (C2), or 6 mo (C6) prior to thawing, beheading and eviscerating, and refreezing. Though the quality of the twice-frozen product was in both cases inferior to a once-frozen sample, it was still quite acceptable after 2 yr of refrozen storage. As expected, quality was superior in the C2 samples, but in both sets of samples taste deteriorated to a greater extent than texture. Chemical measurement of peroxide value indicated a possible development of rancidity that could not be detected by sensory analysis. Considerable lipid hydrolysis occurred, with the free fatty acids (FFA) at least doubling during storage; increases were greater in C6. In both experiments FFA production correlated with texture, taste, and with extractable protein nitrogen (EPN). Dimethylamine (DMA), trimethylamine (TMA), hypoxanthine, and EPN appeared to be good indicators of storage time and sensory quality. Key words: capelin, dimethylamine (DMA), extractable protein nitrogen (EPN), free fatty acids (FFA), hypoxanthine, peroxide value, refrozen storage, taste, texture, trimethylamine

The frying oil quality decreased during continoiu frying is not only caused by frying condition, but also caused by the food composition of material being fried. The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality changes of frying oil during continous frying of Sardinella lemuru. 12 consecutive batches of frying of lemuru fish were conducted. Frying oil quality changes after 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th batch of frying were evaluated based on determination free fatty acids (FFA), conjugated dienoic acid (CDA), and the smoke point of the oil samples. The results showed that the more repetitions frying the higher levels of FFA and its CDA value while the value of the lower smoke point. Over 12 times in the frying oil quality parameter of FFA still under the limit was broken and starts to break down in the 23rd frying, but the parameters of the CDA value there is no obtained limit demage, while smoke point of the oil begins to break downin 12th frying.

Salinity stress is a limiting factor for the growth and yield quality of rapeseed. The potentiality of melatonin (MT; 0, 25, 50, and 100 µM) application as a seed priming agent in mediating K+/Na+ homeostasis and preventing the salinity stress mediated oxidative damage and photosynthetic inhibition was studied in two rapeseed cultivars. We found that 50 µM MT treatment imparted a very prominent impact on growth, metabolism of antioxidants, photosynthesis, osmolytes, secondary metabolites, yield, and fatty acids composition. Days required for appearance of first flower and 50% flowering were decreased by MT application. Exogenous MT treatment effectively decreased the oxidative damage by significantly declining the generation of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide under saline and non-saline conditions, as reflected in lowered lipid peroxidation, heightened membrane stability, and up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and ascorbate peroxidase). Furthermore, MT application enhanced the chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, relative water content, K+/Na+ homeostasis, soluble sugars, and proline content. Moreover, MT application obviously improved the oil quality of rapeseed cultivars by reducing glucosinolates, saturated fatty acids (palmitic and arachidic acids), and enhancing unsaturated fatty acids (linolenic and oleic acids except erucic acid were reduced). Yield related-traits such as silique traits, seed yield per plant, 1000 seeds weight, seed oil content, and yield biomass traits were enhanced by MT application. The anatomical analysis of leaf and stem showed that stomatal and xylem vessels traits are associated with sodium chloride tolerance, yield, and seed fatty acid composition. These results suggest the supportive role of MT on the quality and quantity of rapeseed oil yield.

Nitrogen and sulphur, both vital structural elements, are especially needed for the synthesis of proteins and oils. Investigations revealed the required application of sulphur is one half to one third the amount of nitrogen, and the ratio becomes narrower in mustard (Brassica juncea L.), followed by wheat and rice. The efficiency of an increased level of nitrogen required a proportionately higher amount of sulphur. A critical investigation on the effective utilization of applied vis-à-vis absorbed nitrogen in wheat and mustard envisaged accumulation of NO3-N in vegetative parts when sulphur remained proportionately low. Application of sulphur hastened the chemical reduction of absorbed NO3–for its effective utilization. The effect was more pronounced in mustard than in wheat. Easily available forms of sulphur, like ammonium sulphate and gypsum, as compared to pyrite or elemental sulphur, maintained adequate N to S ratio in rice, resulting in a reduction in the percent of unfilled grain, a major consideration in rice yield. A narrow N to S ratio, with both at higher levels, increased the oil content but raised the saponification value of the oil, a measure of free fatty acids. Whereas, a proportionately narrow N to S ratio at moderate dose resulted in adequately higher seed and oil yield with relatively low saponification value, associated with increased iodine value of the oil, indicating respectively low free fatty acids and higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, an index for better quality of the oil.

Trawler-caught cod were frozen before and after rigor mortis in brine (23% NaCI) and between refrigerated plates, thawed in circulating water at 7 C or in a conveyorized microwave oven, then processed into fillets which were packaged, plate-frozen, and stored at −18 C.All samples thawed satisfactorily in circulating water. Some overheating was encountered during thawing in microwaves. But the equipment was not developed sufficiently to permit assessment of the commercial potential of microwave thawing.Examinations of the fillets from the thawed fish for appearance, odor, and texture showed that freezing pre-rigor is preferable to freezing post-rigor and that thawing by means of microwaves is preferable to thawing by means of water. Freezing or thawing methods did not affect the pH of the thawed fillets.Results of organoleptic and chemical tests to determine the changes in quality of the refrozen fillets packaged and stored at −18 C for 12 months indicated that neither the average taste panel scores nor the chemical tests for moisture, total lipid, free fatty acids, and extractable protein nitrogen showed any difference attributable to state of rigor, freezing method, or thawing method. The taste panel slightly preferred the texture of fillets from fish frozen pre-rigor and from fish frozen in brine. Free fatty acids increased sharply as a result of thawing and refreezing, and the rapid increase continued during the first 2 months of frozen storage. Taste panel scores correlated significantly with free fatty acids (1% level) and with extractable protein (5% level).

The processing of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFB), together with loose fruits, in the current mill operation contributes to oil loss and high free fatty acids (FFA), affecting crude palm oil quality. Fruit detachment induced by ethephon and ethylene may mitigate the current processing issues. This study shows that a 0.50% (v/v) ethephon application by the evaporation method induced the highest fruit detachment of 30.8 ± 1.1% after 24 h at room temperature, with the FFA content in the extracted crude palm oil at 0.34 ± 0.09%. Ethephon application was effective on bunches between 14 and 28 kg, and fruit detachment was higher in ripe and underripe bunches at 24.1 ± 0.9% and 23.2 ± 0.1%, respectively. A significant fruit detachment of 47.2 ± 2.4% was achieved when the bunches were also stripped mechanically, but the FFA content increased almost 4-fold, from 1.0 ± 0.2% to 3.8 ± 1.2%. The application of ethylene gas at 750 ppm yielded 29.4 ± 1.9% fruit detachment. The findings present the possibility of using ethylene as an indirect method for minimizing oil loss without increasing the FFA content in future crude palm oil production systems.

The need of energy never comes to an end so; the challenge is to procure power source sufficient to offer for our energy needs. Besides, this energy source must be dependable, renewable, recurring and non-contributing to climate change. Aims: This study was aimed to produce biodiesel from Roselle seed oil and to investigate its quality.  Methodology: The Roselle seeds were clean from dirt, milled to proper size and the oil was extracted using soxhlet with n-hexane as solvent. The extracted oil was subjected to physiochemical analysis tests and then transesterified using methanol and potassium hydroxide as catalyst; with ratio of oil to alcohol 1:8 at 65°C. The quality of produced biodiesel was investigated and compared to international standards. The fatty acid composition of the produced biodiesel was determined by GC-MS. Results: Based on the experimental results, the yellow with characteristic odor oil was obtained from the seeds had the following physicochemical properties: yield, 12.65%; refractive index (25°C), 1.467 m ; free fatty acids, 5.5%; saponification value, 252 mg KOH/g of oil; density, 0.915 g/mL and ester value, 241 mgKOH/g. Also the biodiesel yield achieved was 96%, with density, 0.80 g/mL; API, 44.63; Kinematics viscosity @ 40˚C, 0.742; Pour point, < -51˚C; and Micro Carbon Residual (MCR), 0.65%; which conformed to the range of ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 standard specifications. However, the GC-MS analysis result revealed that the biodiesel produced was methyl ester and free other undesired products such as linoleic acid (33%), elaidic acid (29%) and palmitic acid (17%) and other biomolecules. Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, Roselle seed oil had potential for biodiesel production due to its high contains of free fatty acids. Therefore, in the future, more investigations in alcohol: oil ratio and the concentration of catalyst may be warranted to increase the yield much more.

Quality is the overall characteristics and characteristics of a product or service whose ability to satisfy needs, both expressed and implied (Irwan & Haryono, 2015). In this era of increasingly competitive industrialization, every business person who wants to win the competition in the industrial world will pay full attention to quality. QCC is a new concept to improve the quality and productivity of industrial/service work. It is evident that one of the success factors of industrialization in Japan is the effective implementation of QCC. In this research journal, the quality of crude palm oil (CPO) levels is decreasing. There are 3 types of defects, namely levels of FFA (Free Fatty Acids), levels of Moisture (Water) and levels of Dirt (Stool). Of these three, the most dominant are FFA levels and Moisture levels. Free fatty acid content (FFA) of 158 samples tested contained 150 samples of free fatty acids (FFA) which were outside the company standard. Then followed by moisture content with a total defect of 45 samples from 158 test samples. At the level of dirt (Dirt) there are absolutely no samples that are outside the company's standards.
