β-Apo-8′-Carotenoic acid and its esters in sunflower oil oxidation

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society

Abstract

The oxidation kinetics of sunflower oil (SO) and pure triacylglycerols of sunflower oil (TGSO) in the presence of different concentrations (0.0008–0.02%, 1.9–32.7×10−5 M) of β-apo-8′-carotenoic acid (CA), ethyl β-apo-8′-carotenoate (EC), and β-apo-8′-carotenoylglycerol (CG) were studied. The process was performed at high (kinetic regime) and low (diffusion regime) oxygen concentrations at room temperature and at 100°C and in the dark and in daylight. CA, EC, and CG were not antioxidants in TGSO systems. However, the carotenoid derivatives, especially CA, increased the stability of tocopherol-containing SO at room temperature and in daylight. The stabilization effect was more evident in a kinetic regime of oxidation. The synergism between the carotenoids and tocopherols was characterized by the increase of the stabilization factor F and activity A. F and A were highest for CA (F=1.2–5.5, A=2.4–78.6), followed by EC (F=1.2–3.5, A=1.7–14.6) and CG (F=1.1–2.1, A=1.6–5.5) in the kinetic regime for SO exposed to daylight at room temperature.
