Fatty acids of vegetable oils

Polymers obtained from natural products or from their immediate derivatives such as vegetable oil, modified epoxidised oils, transesterified oils, heated oil, monoglyceride and diethanol amide or fatty acids of vegetable oils, cashew nut seed liquid (CNSL) and derivatised polymers, are bioderived polymers. " The details of vegetable oil-based polymers are the subject matter of this book and hence are discussed in detail in subsequent chapters. 

By commercial methods such as those described in this experiment, the unsaturated fatty acids of vegetable oils are converted to margarine (see the essay "Fats and Oils"). However, rather than using the mixture of triglycerides that would be present in a cooking oil such as Mazola (corn oil), we use as a model the pure chemical methyl oleate.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oils, particularly finolenic esters in soybean oil, are especially sensitive to oxidation. Even a slight degree of oxidation, commonly referred to as flavor reversion, results in undesirable flavors, eg, beany, grassy, painty, or fishy. Oxidation is controlled by the exclusion of metal contaminants, eg, iron and copper addition of metal inactivators such as citric acid minimum exposure to air, protection from light, and selective hydrogenation to decrease the finolenate content to ca 3% (74). Careful quality control is essential for the production of acceptable edible soybean oil products (75). 

In the development of the protein-fatty acid condensates it was possible to combine the renewable resources fatty acids (from vegetable oil) and protein, which can be obtained from both animal waste (leather) as well as from many plants, to construct a surfactant structure with a hydrophobic (fatty acid) and a hydrophilic (protein) part (Fig. 4.12). This was carried out by reacting protein hydrolysate with fatty acid chloride under Schotten-Baumann conditions using water as solvent. Products are obtained that have an excellent skin compatibility and, additionally, a good cleaning effect (particularly on the skin) and, in combination with other surfactants, lead to an increase in performance. For instance, even small additions of the acylated protein hydrolysate improve the skin compatibility. An...

Table 2 compares the major fatty acids of vegetable and fish oils and animal fats. Vegetable oils differ among themselves in the percentage of C16-C18 fatty acids, with the exception of coconut oil. In animal fats, fatty acid chain lengths extend from C10 to C20.

Fats are esters of glycerol and fatty acids. Liquid fats are often called oils. Whether a fat is solid or liquid depends on the nature of the fatty acids. Solid animal fats contain mostly saturated fatty acids, while vegetable oils contain high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. To avoid arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, diets which are low in saturated fatty acids as well as in cholesterol are recommended. 

Catalytic Hydrogenation of Vegetable Oils Catalytic hydrogenation, used in the food industry, converts double bonds in the fatty acids of the oil triacylglycerols to —CH2—CH2—. How does this affect the physical properties of the oils ... 

The most abundant fatty acids in vegetable oils and fats are palmitic acid (hexa-decanoic acid or 16 0), oleic acid ([9Z]-octadec-9-enoic acid or 18 1 cis-9), and lino-leic acid (cis, cis-9,12-octadccadicnoic acid or 18 2 cis-9 cis-12) [21], Other fatty acids are found in special oils (e.g. 80% 87% ricinoleic acid in castor oil) [23], but these oils are quite rare. Castor oil, for example, has a production rate of 610,000 tons/year compared to the top four palm oil (46 million tons/year), soya oil (40 million tons/year), rapeseed oil (24 million tons/year), and sunflower oil (12 million tons/ year) [24]. Further sources of fatty acids are tall oils (2 million tons/year) [25] and to a lesser degree synthetic fatty acids derived by mainly hydroformylation and hy-drocarboxylation of olefins [23], The summed fatty acid production is estimated to be 8 million tons/year (2006) [23],...

The development of a characteristic, objectionable, beany, grassy, and hay-like flavor in soybean oil, commonly known as reversion flavor, is a classic problem of the food industry. Soybean oil tends to develop this objectionable flavor when its peroxide value is still as low as a few meq/kg, whereas other vegetable oils, such as cottonseed, com, and sunflower, do not (15, 51). Smouse and Chang (52) identified 71 compounds in the volatiles of a typical reverted-but-not-rancid soybean oil. They reported that 2-pentylfuran formed from the autoxidation of linoleic acid, which is the major fatty acid of soybean oil, and contributes significantly to the beany and grassy flavor of soybean oil. Other compounds identified in the reverted soybean oil also have fatty acids as their precursors. For example, the green bean flavor is caused by c/i-3-hexenal, which is formed by the autoxidation of linolenic acid that usually constitutes 2-11% in soybean oil. Linoleic acid oxidized to l-octen-3-ol, which is characterized by its mushroom-like flavor (53). 

Sesame oil belongs to the oleic-linoleic acid group. It has less than 20% saturated fatty acid, mainly palmitic (7.9 12%) and stearic (4.8 6.1%) acids. Oleic acid and linoleic acid constitute more than 80% of the total fatty acids in sesame oil. Unlike other vegetable oils in this group, the percentages of oleic acid (35.9-42.3%) and linoleic acid (41.5 7.9%) in the total fatty acids of sesame oil are close (Table 5). 

The pro-oxidant effect of free fatty acids in vegetable oils is widely known. To determine their influence (86), pure oleic acid was added (up to 3%) to a high-oleic sunflower oil extracted by cold-pressing. The effect intensity was found to be directly related with the concentration of free fatty acids. 

The tocopherols and tocotrienols are generally not the major components of vegetable oil, but their presence is vital for stabilizing the unsaturated fatty acids of these oils against oxidative deterioration (39). Their structures are based on a chroman head with two rings, one phenolic and one heterocyclic, and a phytyl tails isoprenoid side chain at C-2. The phytyl tail is saturated in the case of... 

Low levels of a wide range of phenolic compounds have been reported to be present in all vegetable oils, which is very important for the oxidative stabihty of the polyunsaturated fatty acids of these oils. The mostly studied phenolic constituents are perhaps those of olive oil (Figure 8). The level of phenolic compounds in olive oil... 

Large supply of naturally derived lipids can be obtained from plants in which many oils and fatty acids can be readily extracted and purified. Animal sources (e.g., eggs or milkfats) are used to derive complex lipids such as phospholipids and cholesterol. Yield from natural sources is dependent on the weight-percent composition and the efficiency of the extraction procedure. The constitution of fatty acids in vegetable oils varies widely from different sources. For example, oleic acid is present at 64.6% by weight in olive oil but is present at only 0.7% in palm kernel oil. Similarly, castor oil triglyceride is comprised of almost entirely ricinoleic chains. There are numerous raw material suppliers of oils and oil fractions worldwide. As such, the relative cost of bulk purified... 

As with conventional emulsions the nature of the oil can affect the behaviour of the system. For pharmaceutical uses, oils used include the refined hydrocarbon oils such as light liquid paraffin and esters of long-chain fatty acids including vegetable oils, for example, ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate, olive oil and sesame oil. Frankenfeld et al (SO used mixtures of Solvent 100 Neutral (an isoparaffinic, dewaxed oil of high viscosity) and Norpar 13 (a non-viscous, normal paraffinic solvent) to vary the viscosity of the oil phase in attempts to control the transfer of solutes across the oil membrane.

A very important catalytic process is hydrogenation of fats, fatty acids, and vegetable oils used in foodstuffs. Reduced nickel catalysts are used for this purpose. They usually contain about 60% Ni on a support and are suspended in a protective hard fat, such as saturated glyceride, tallow, or vegetable oil. The particles are flake or drop-like and are used in liquid phase hydrogenation after the protective fat dissolves in the reagent. Since the fat becomes pan of the product, catalysts used in food production must conform to health and religious standards.
