V. Fournier et al.
In 1974, Ackman et al. found that ordinary non-hydrogenated vegetable oils contained small amounts of PUFA
(linoleic and a-linolenic) with trans bonds instead of ordinary
cis bonds, and the author showed that these trans fatty
acids were produced during deodorization of oils at elevated temperatures [8]. Investigations on heat treatment
effects on lipids have already been done for mono-, di- and
tri-unsaturated fatty acids [5, 6, 819]. Only few papers
evaluate the effect of deodorization on LC-PUFA [7, 2022].
In the present study, effects of deodorization temperature
were evaluated based on three degradation products of LCPUFA: polar compounds, CFAM and geometrical isomers.
Prior to gas chromatography (GC) analysis, the acylglycerols were transesterified using a basic catalyst (0.5 M
sodium methanolate in methanol). About 20 mg of fish oil
was weighed accurately and diluted in 1 mL toluene. Of the
sodium methanolate solution, 2 mL was added and the tube
held at 50 7C for 5 min. The transesterification was stopped
by adding 0.1 mL acetic acid. Ethyl arachidate (1.8 mg) was
added as internal standard and the esters were washed
with 5 mL distilled water, then extracted successively with 5
and 3 mL hexane. The solvents were evaporated and the
esters diluted in hexane to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL.
2.4 GC analysis
Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were analyzed on a Hewlett Packard Model 4890 capillary gas chromatograph
(Palo Alto, CA, USA). Most GC analyses were performed
using a CP-Sil88 capillary column (100 m60.25 mm ID,
0.2 mm film; Varian, Courtaboeuf, France) except for GCmass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of CFAM which was
done using a BPX70 (120 m60.25 mm ID capillary column, 0.25 mm film; SGE, Melbourne, Australia). The
instrument was equipped with a split/splitless injector
(splitless for 0.5 min). Linear velocity of hydrogen was
37.0 cm/s at 60 7C. The temperature was held at 60 7C for
5 min, programmed to 165 7C at 15 7C/min and held for
1 min, and then to 225 7C at 2 7C/min and finally held at
225 7C for 17 min [24]. The injection port was held at 250 7C
and a flame ionization detector (FID) was used at 250 7C
(hydrogen at 35 mL/min and air at 350 mL/min).
35
The deodorization process was found to affect the concentration of LC-PUFA in fish oil. Deodorization of fish oil
at 220 and 250 7C led to critical losses of LC-PUFA.
Actually more than 60% of LC-PUFA was lost after deodorization at 250 7C (Fig. 1). It could be noticed (Fig. 1)
that at 220 and 250 7C, n-6 LC-PUFA, as arachidonic
(20:4 n-6) and 22:5 n-6, are less prone to thermal degradation than all other n-3 LC-PUFA reported. Degradation
of fish oil during deodorization was investigated by determining the total amount of the non-volatile compounds. Three classes of degradation products are predominantly formed during heat treatment in the absence
of air: polar compounds (mostly polymers), CFAM and
trans LC-PUFA isomers. This study was done to evaluate
the effect of the deodorization temperature on the degradation of a fish oil containing 5.8% EPA and 19.5%
DHA, and to find the optimal experimental conditions
that could be used to prevent the degradation of LCPUFA during deodorization. Fatty acid compositions of
control and heated oils are reported in Tab. 1. Three
deodorization temperatures were selected: 180 7C;
220 7C, which appears to be the mean temperature
recommended for industrial deodorization of vegetable
oils in France [19]; and 250 7C, which is a positive control
for degradation.
