Prog Lipid Res 2024; 94:101275.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation constitutes the main source of degradation of lipid-rich foods, including food emulsions. The complexity of the reactions at play combined with the increased demand from consumers for less processed and more natural foods result in additional challenges in controlling this phenomenon. This review provides an overview of the insights acquired over the past two decades on the understanding of lipid oxidation in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. After introducing the general structure of O/W emulsions and the classical mechanisms of lipid oxidation, the contribution of less studied oxidation products and the spatiotemporal resolution of these reactions will be discussed. We then highlight the impact of emulsion formulation on the mechanisms, taking into consideration the new trends in terms of emulsifiers as well as their own sensitivity to oxidation. Finally, novel antioxidant strategies that have emerged to meet the recent consumer's demand will be detailed. In an era defined by the pursuit of healthier, more natural, and sustainable food choices, a comprehensive understanding of lipid oxidation in emulsions is not only an academic quest, but also a crucial step towards meeting the evolving expectations of consumers and ensuring the quality and stability of lipid-rich food products.

Foods 2023; 12:3933. [PMID: 37959052 PMCID: PMC10648229 DOI: 10.3390/foods12213933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Red palm oil (RPO), which is rich in micronutrients, especially carotenoids, is different from its deodorized counterpart, palm oil. It is considered as one of the most promising food ingredients, owing to its unique compositions and nutritional values, while its usage could be further developed by improving its thermal behaviors. In this article, two typical commercial RPOs, HRPO (H. red palm oil) and NRPO (N. red palm oil), were evaluated by analyzing their fatty acids, triacylglycerols, micronutrients, oxidative stability index (OSI), and solid fat contents (SFCs). Micronutrients, mainly carotenes, tocopherols, polyphenols, and squalene, significantly increased the oxidative stability indices (OSIs) of the RPOs (from 10.02 to 12.06 h), while the OSIs of their micronutrient-free counterparts were only 1.12 to 1.82 h. HRPO exhibited a lower SFC than those of NRPO. RPOs softened at around 10 °C and completely melted near 20 °C. Although the softening problem may limit the usages of RPOs, that problem could be solved by incorporating RPOs with mango kernel fat (MKF). The binary blends containing 40% RPOs and 60% MKF exhibited desirable compatibilities, making that blend suitable for the manufacture of aerated emulsions with improved whipping performance and foam stabilities. The results provide a new application of RPOs and MKF in the manufacture of aerated emulsions with improved nutritional values and desired whipping capabilities.

J Food Sci 2023. [PMID: 37178315 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Margarine is a typical water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion fat product. Due to the presence of a water-oil interface, the oil oxidation in the emulsion system is the interface reaction, which is much faster than that in bulk oil and shows different oxidation mechanisms. The analysis of Rancimat and electron spin resonance indicated that α-tocopherol and EGCG show synergistic antioxidant effects in the margarine. After 20 days of accelerated oxidation storage, the antioxidant effect of the compound antioxidant (50 mg/kg α-tocopherol + 350 mg/kg EGCG) on the margarine was significantly higher than that of the single antioxidant α-tocopherol and EGCG. Based on the results of antioxidants partitioning, electrochemistry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and the oxidative decomposition of antioxidants, the possible mechanisms of interaction were the promotion of α-tocopherol regeneration by EGCG, and the fact that α-tocopherol and EGCG could act at different stages and positions of oxidation. This work will contribute to studying antioxidant interactions and can provide valuable suggestions for practical production. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study aims to improve the oxidative stability of margarine by adding α-tocopherol and epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) individually and in blends. The mechanism of compound antioxidant synergistic inhibition of margarine oxidation was analyzed, providing theoretical basis and scientific basis for the research and practical application of natural antioxidant synergistic mechanism.
