Effect of frying process on the oxidative and thermal properties of sesame and grape seed oil optimized formulation

Using grape seed oil in the diet due to its richness of essential fatty acids and antioxidant compounds such as tocopherols and polyphenols can play an important role in the health of consumers. However, the oxidative stability of this oil is relatively low and mixing it with more stable oils such as sesame oil can be a good way to improve its oxidative stability. When the oil heated, various physical and chemical changes occur that affects the quality of the oil. In this research, the thermal stability of the mixture of sesame oil (75%) and grape seed oil (25%) was investigated for 90 minutes of frying process at 180°C. During the frying process, at 30 minutes intervals, the main oil qualitative indicators including acid number, peroxide value, p-anisidine value, phenolic compounds, and polar components were measured. The results of specific tests of frying oils showed that, with increasing frying time, the acid number, p-anisidine value, and polar components were increased but peroxide value increased only for the first 60 minutes of the process and then decreased. Comparison of the obtained values for different factors of sesame and grape seed oil with the national Iranian standard limits showed that the parameters of acid number and peroxide value were more than the national standard of Iran, but the content of polar compounds was within the permissible national standard of Iran. Sesame and grape seed oil is not suitable for long term heating and frying.

When the oil heated, various physical and chemical changes occur that affects the quality of the oil. In this research, the thermal stability of the mixture of sesame oil (75% w/w) and grape seed oil (25% w/w) was investigated for 90 minutes of frying process at 180°C.

Comparison of the obtained values for different factors of sesame and grape seed oil with the national Iranian standard limits showed that the parameters of acid number and peroxide value were more than the national standard of Iran, but the content of polar compounds was within the permissible national standard of Iran. As final result, combination of 75% sesame and 25% grape seed oil is not suitable for long term heating and frying.
