Abstract
In this study, effects of sesamol on improving the oxidative stability of sunflower oil and its oil-in-water emulsion was investigated. To investigate the kinetic parameters related to the initiation and propagation stages of oxidation, a sigmoidal-model was used. Sesamol exhibited higher antioxidant activity in sunflower oil-in-water emulsion than that of sunflower oil. In both sunflower oil and sunflower oil-in-water emulsion, the inhibitory effect of sesamol against lipid oxidation continued even after the induction period. To improve the efficiency of sesamol in sunflower oil, polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) was incorporated into the functional environment of the sesamol. Sesamol exhibited a synergistic effect with PGPR during both initiation (synergistic effect of 68.87%) and propagation (synergistic effect of 36.84%) stages. Comparison of the size of reverse micelles in samples containing PGPR with those without PGPR revealed that PGPR can enhance the efficiency of sesamol by increasing the acceptance capacity of lipid hydroperoxides in reveres micelles structures. This can result in enhancing the effective collisions between sesamol and lipid hydroperoxides in the presence of PGPR. The water produced as a major byproduct of oxidation played a key role on the antioxidant activity of sesamol alone or in combination with PGPR during oxidation process.
