Abstract

The oxidative stability of diacylglycerol (DAG)-enriched soybean oil and palm olein produced by partial hydrolysis using phospholipase A1 (Lecitase Ultra) and molecular distillation was investigated at 110 °C by the Rancimat method with and without addition of synthetic antioxidants. Compared with triacylglycerol oils, the DAG-enriched oils displayed lower oxidative stability due to a higher content of unsaturated fatty acids and a lower level of tocopherols. With the addition (50–200 mg/kg) of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) or ascorbyl palmitate (AP), the oxidative stability indicated by induction period (IP) of these DAG-enriched oils under the Rancimat conditions was improved. The IP of the diacylglycerol-enriched soybean oil increased from 4.21 ± 0.09 to 12.64 ± 0.42 h when 200 mg/kg of TBHQ was added, whereas the IP of the diacylglycerol-enriched palm olein increased from 5.35 ± 0.21 to 16.24 ± 0.55 h when the same level of AP was added. Addition of TBHQ, alone and in combination with AP resulted in a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in oxidative stability of diacylglycerol-enriched soybean oil. AP had a positive synergistic effect when used with TBHQ.
