Tocopherol Composition

As a unique woody oil tree, Camellia oleifera Abel originates from southern China and is now being cultivated in central China, such as the southern Henan province. The aim of this work is to determine some physiochemical parameters, fatty acid profile and tocopherol composition of the Camellia oleifera seed oils harvested in southern Henan in the 2016 season. The lipid contents of the kernel are in the range of 28.39- 56.94% on dry matter. The acid value (AV), saponification value (SV), iodine value (IV), and refractive index of the oils are in the ranges: 0.22-5.17 mg KOH/g, 178.90-196.91 mg KOH/g, 82.0-87.1 g I2/100g, and 1.4667-1.4720 (nD25) , respectively. The main fatty acids are: palmitic 7.07-9.52%, palmitoleic 0.09-0.22%, stearic 1.45-2.94%, oleic 77.02-84.33%, linoleic 5.19-11.23%, linolenic 0.53-0.70% and arachidic 0.22-0.70%. The sn-2 fatty acid composition is: 84.36-91.33% oleic, 7.14-14.22% linoleic, and 0.89-1.96% others. The tocopherol content is in the range of 39.55-75.94 mg/100g oil, including mainly α-tocopherol (33.98-67.82 mg/100g) and γ-tocopherol (5.57- 8.27 mg/100g) when the oils are extracted with hexane; and 14.91-44.36 mg/100g, including mainly α-tocopherol (9.42-37.08 mg/100g) and γ-tocopherol (5.50-7.33 mg/100g) when the oils are extracted by ethyl ether. The physiochemical properties C. oleifera seed oils from southern Henan are similar to those from other districts of China.

Abstract The present study characterizes seed-related traits, phytochemical, physiochemical parameters and fatty acid profile of shea (Vitellaria paradoxa) seeds collected from the Kosubosu, Fufu and Sare areas of Kwara State, Nigeria to determine the effects of microclimate on seed morphology, biochemical and oil constituents. Seed morphological data were analyzed for variability. Seed oil was extracted for phytochemical constituents, physicochemical properties, and fatty acid profiling by gas chromatography equipped with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Results showed intra and inter-locational variations in seed characters. Most fruits had 1–2 seeds. Seeds were predominantly brown and very few were dark brown. Phytochemicals and physicochemical parameters of the seed oil varied with place of collection. Alkaloid, saponin, tannin and phytate contents ranged between 0.79–0.84, 1.20–1.26, 1.48–1.56 and 0.15–0.18 mg g−1 respectively. The density of the oil was less than that of water, acid value ranged from 10.58–13.56 mg KOH g−1 and iodine values were between 36.63 to 40.32 g I2 (100 g)–1. Saponification values lie between 160.39 and 184.14 mg KOH g−1; and free fatty acid was within 5.32–6.81 %. Peroxide, ɑ-tocopherol, total phenol and oxalate values as well as viscosity of the oil also varied; however, refractive index was similar. Ethyl oleate and octadecanoic acids were present and most abundance in all the locations, while glycidol stearate was only found in Fufu samples with three other fatty acids. Five fatty acids were present in Kosubosu, while Sare had only two. The results obtained in the present study indicate that shea oil could be used for medicinal, nutritional and industrial purposes. Since seed characters, phytochemical, physicochemical and fatty acid compositions varied with the microclimate, environmental and micro-ecological conditions should be considered when collecting seeds for oil utilization.

The present study was conducted to assess the effect of supplementation of peanut paste with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% sesame seed paste on the fatty acid profile and oil stability of butter made from the blends. Packaged samples from each blend were stored at ambient temperature (27±2oC) for 12 weeks and analysed for oil separation, peroxide value (PV) and acid value (AV) at four weeks interval. Unblended peanut and sesame seed butters served as control samples. The result showed that apart from behenic acid that was not detected in sesame butter oil, the other eight fatty acids detected in peanut butter oil were also found in sesame butter oil but in varying quantities. Oil extracted from 100% peanut and sesame seed butters contained slightly below 20% saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and slightly above 80% unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs). Palmitic, palmitoleic, oleic, linolenic, arachidic and behenic acids decreased while stearic, linoleic, and eicosenoic acids increased with increase in sesame paste supplementation. Butters made from blended pastes had higher percentages of SFAs and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) but lower percentage of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFAs) than 100% peanut butter oil. Oil separation, PV and AV significantly (P = .05) increased with storage time. Quantity of oil separated at week 12 ranged from 1.05% to 3.19%. The rate of peroxide formation decreased with increase in sesame paste supplementation. Consequently, at week 12, while 10% sesame paste supplemented butter recorded 263.12% increment in PV, the value for 50% sesame paste supplemented butter was 143.01%. The treatment had no effect on acid value during storage. At week 12, the AV increment for the butters from the blended pastes ranged from 179.59% to 181.82% while the values for 100% peanut butter and 100% sesame butter were 183.72% and 119.64% respectively. The study has shown that butter of high unsaturated fatty acids with delayed onset of oxidative deterioration could be produced from peanut paste supplemented with sesame seed paste.
