Abstract
The oxidation stability of storage lipids from adipose tissue and of structural lipids from liver was compared to the coefficients of oxidizability of the pure fat used: lard (L); lard + sunflower oil 2:1 (LS); butter (B) and partially hydrogenated oil (H). The oxidation stability of the corresponding high-fat dietary regimens (50 energy-%) was also investigated. The experimental groups L, LS, B and H were compared to the control group (C) fed low-fat laboratory pellet-food. The coefficients of oxidizability were calculated from the fatty-acid composition of the used pure fats. The oxidation stability was performed in condition of accelerated oxidation under kinetic regimen, assaying the peroxide concentration in appropriate time intervals. The coefficients of oxidizability of dietary fats and storage lipids were very similar. This is explained by the fact that the fatty-acid composition of storage lipids reflected that of the corresponding high-fat diets. The oxidation stabilities in storage lipids were markedly lower than these in the respective dietary regimens. The highest oxidation stability in lipids from adipose tissue was found in group B, and the lowest in group LS. Contrarywise, the oxidation stability in liver lipid showed the following declining sequence: C greater than H greater than L greater than LS greater than B. The discrepancies in oxidation stability of the various specimens (pure fats, dietary fats, storage and structural lipids) may be explicated by an intervention of factors with pro- and anti-oxidative action. The large deviations in fatty acid composition in the examined tissues in comparison to the composition of the respective high-fat diets may also play an important role in this respect. These parallel studies on oxidation stability at different levels could improve our possibilities for evaluation of the stability and biological value of fats.
