The objective of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics and storage stability of virgin coconut oil (VCO) extracted using cold press and hot press processes. Data were collected and analyzed using complete randomization design (CRD). The work was done at the Department of Food Science and Technology, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) was extracted from mature nuts of Cocos nucifera, using the cold and the hot process. Hot process gave significantly (P<0.05) higher oil recovery of 58%, while cold process gave 52% oil recovery. Free fatty acid (FFA) content was 0.054% and 0.051% for cold press and hot press, respectively. Peroxide Value (PV) of the two oil samples were 1.173 mEq/ kg and 1.288 mEq/kg for CPCO and HPCO, respectively. The physicochemical properties of VCO from both processes were not significantly (P>0.05) different. Iodine value was 5.72 g/100 g and 6.09 g/100 g for cold pressed and hot pressed VCO, respectively. Lauric acid was the predominant fatty acid in the coconut oil samples, recording 49.30% in hot pressed coconut oil and 48.76% in cold pressed coconut oil. The melting point was found to increase while the smoke point decreased significantly (P<0.05) for both cold pressed and hot pressed VCO after three months of storage at room temperature (28±20C). Percentage free fatty acid and peroxide values increased significantly from 0.054% to 0.742% and 1.173 mEq/kg to 2.274mEq/kg, respectively, after 3 months of storage at room temperature (28±20C). The overall result showed that coconut is a good source of vegetable oil, with good keeping quality. More also, there isn’t much difference in the physicochemical quality of both hot press and cold press method of extraction.

The antioxidants effect of two aminomethyl derivatives of 2-methoxyphenol: 4,6-di[(morpholin-4-yl)methyl]-2-methoxyphenol (DMMMP) and 5-[(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]vanillic acid (PMVA) on enhancing thermal and oxidative storage stability of coconut oil was performed using tert-butylhydroxyquinone (TBHQ) as a comparative standard. The efficacy on thermal stability test was carried out by heating at 180 oC for 1, 3, and 6 hours, while the efficacy on the storage stability test was performed using an accelerated method by heating at 60oC for 5 weeks. The concentrations for MDMMP was 200, 350, and 500 ppm; for PMVA was 200, 275, and 350 ppm; and for TBHQ was 200 ppm. Free fatty acid (FFA) level, peroxide value (PV), and p-anisidine value (p-AV) were used as parameters to assess the level of oxidative stability of coconut oil. The results showed that the addition of DMMMP 200, 350, and 500 ppm, and PMVA 200 and 275 ppm did not inhibit FFA, peroxide, and aldehyde formation. In thermal stability study, PMVA (350 ppm) could inhibit the free fatty acid release, and formation of secondary oxidation products compounds on thermal stability comparable to TBHQ (200 ppm) addition, but only TBHQ that could inhibit peroxide formation for 6 h. In storage stability, DMMMP (all concentration) could not delay the fatty acid release, while PMVA (all concentration) and TBHQ (200 ppm) delayed that for 2 and 5 weeks, respectively. DMMMP (all concentration) delayed peroxide formation for 2 weeks, while PMVA (all concentration) and TBHQ (200 ppm) delayed peroxide formation for 5 weeks. All compounds only delay the formation of secondary oxidation products for 1 week. In conclusion, the efficacy of PMVA as an antioxidant against thermal and storage oxidative stability of coconut oil is higher than DMMMP but lower than TBHQ.

Background: Coconut oil is an edible oil obtained from fresh, mature coconut kernels. Few studies have reported the anticancer role of coconut oil. The fatty acid component of coconut oil directly targets the liver by portal circulation and as chylomicron via lymph. However, the anti-cancer activity of coconut oil against liver cancer cells and oral cancer cells is yet to be tested. The active component of coconut oil, that is responsible for the anticancer activity is not well understood. In this study, three different coconut oils, Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO), Processed Coconut Oil (PCO) and Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO), were used. Objective: Based on previous studies, it can be hypothesized that fatty acids in coconut oil may have anticancer potential and may trigger cell death in cancer cell lines. Methods: Each cell line was treated with different concentrations of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO), Processed Coconut Oil (PCO) and Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO). The treated cells were assayed by MTT after 72 hr of incubation. The fatty acid composition of different coconut oils was analyzed by gas chromatography. Result: Different concentrations of coconut oils were used to treat the cells. Interestingly, the anticancer efficacy of VCO, PCO and FCO was not uniform, rather the efficacy varied from cell line to cell line. Only 20% VCO showed significant anticancer activity in HepG2 cells in comparison to 80% PCO against the KB cell line. Remarkably, 20% of PCO and 5% of FCO showed potential growth inhibition in the KB cell line as compared to 80% PCO in HepG2 cells. Moreover, there was a difference in the efficacy of VCO, PCO and FCO, which might be due to their fatty acid composition. Comparing the anticancer efficacy of VCO, PCO and FCO in this study helped to predict which class of fatty acids and which fatty acid might be associated with the anticancer activity of VCO. Conclusion: This study shows that VCO, PCO and FCO have anticancer efficacy and may be used for the treatment of cancer, especially liver and oral cancer.

Virgin Coconut Oil

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is pure coconut oil with low free fatty acid content and high lauric acid content. VCO has been produced in many home industries where the yield obtained is still very small. So, the researchers tried to find a more efficient production process so that they could obtain high process yields. Researchers made VCO using the aeration method with a diffuser type aerator. The experimental variables were air flow rate (L / min): 0.6; 1.8; 4.0; 4,5 and the duration of the aeration process (hours): 2; 3; 4; 5, by using coconut milk from 1 kg of grated coconut in 1 liter of water, the maximum yield is 33.5% at an air flow rate of 4.0 L / min with an aeration time of 4 hours. The quality of VCO obtained were: water content of 0.02%; iodine number 5,54%; peroxidation number 1.36 g.iod / 100 g; 0.19% free fatty acids; saturated fatty acid content of 93.71% and unsaturated fatty acid 6.24% and the color is very clear. The quality test results obtained are in accordance with the quality standards required by SNI 7381-2008.

Insects are promising candidates as alternative sustainable sources of protein for poultry species. The present research studied the effect of a dietary inclusion of a defatted black soldier fly (BSF) larvae meal as an alternative protein source in the diets of laying quails, on productive performance, egg physicochemical quality, fatty acid profile, sensory traits and storage stability. A total of 225 laying quails were divided into 3 dietary groups (5 replicates/each). A conventional soybean meal-based diet was formulated (Control group), and two other diets were formulated including either 10% (BSF10) or 15% (BSF15) defatted BSF larvae meal. Laying quails showed satisfactory productive performance throughout the trial. BSF10 and BSF15 eggs had the highest shape index (p < 0.01), shell weight and percentage (p < 0.001) and the most intense yolk color (p < 0.001). Defatted BSF larvae meal increased the eggs’ saturated fatty acid content (p < 0.001) to the detriment of the polyunsaturated fraction (p < 0.001). Overall the eggs’ sensory profile was not affected by the dietary treatment, but BSF15 eggs had a higher feed off-flavor vs Control group (p < 0.05). At day 28 of storage, oxidative stability was higher in BSF10 vs. Control eggs (p < 0.01). Defatted BSF larvae meal can be considered a possible alternative ingredient to soybean meal in laying quail diets, up to the 15% inclusion level.

The Difference

The fatty acid and antioxidant property of pawpaw coconut oil (PCO) and virgin coconut oil (VCO) were compared. GC and GC-MS were used to determine the fatty acid of PCO and VCO, respectively. The results show that there is no obvious difference of fatty acid composition between PCO and VCO. The scavenging rate to ABTS+• of PCO is higher than VCO at the same proportion. TEAC (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity) value of PCO is 67.5µmol/l. The complexing ability to Fe2+of PCO is stronger than VCO at the same proportion. The scavenging ability to DPPH• of 40% PCO is weaker than VCO, with the increase of PCO concentration, the difference of the scavenging ability to DPPH• between PCO and VCO is smaller.

Hydrolysis Of

Bio‐based fatty acids (FAs) produced through hydrolysis of natural oils and fats are promising chemical feedstocks for increasing  the economic value of renewable raw materials. In this work, lecithin, gelatin, PEG, and MgCl2 were employed as the co-immobilized material of crude lipase Mucor miehei immobilization on the polyurethane foam (PUF) matrix for hydrolysis of coconut oil to Free Fatty Acid (FFA). The unconventional immobilized technique was used through cross-linking and covalent bond. Single factor analysis and response surface method were utilized to determine the optimum conditions of the hydrolysis reaction. After optimization, co-immobilized lipase was examined for storage stability at a temperature of 4°C and reusability performance. The optimum conditions for coconut oil hydrolysis were obtained on the co-immobilized-PUF ratio, water-oil ratio, and reaction time of 20.17 w/w, 4.45 w/w, and 20 h, respectively. Under these conditions, the acid value as lauric acid enhanced 573% to 3.21 mg KOH/g oil. Storage stability attained through remaining activity on free lipase, PUF-lipase, PUF-co-immobilized-lipase were 9.89%, 42.3%, and 91.88%, respectively. In this study, the application of PUF-co-immobilized lipase in hydrolysis reactions can be reused up to 5 times. Characteristics of the addition of co-immobilized lipase have been analyzed using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), showing the presence of functional groups binding and the changes in the surface matrix structure.
