Evaluation of chemical characteristics and thermal stability of sesame oil prepared using cold press in Ahvaz

Edible oils are exposed to physicochemical changes during heating, cooking and frying. Due to the high importance of this issue and the public perception of the health of oils prepared in oil shops in the city, this study was conducted to evaluate and compare the thermal stability of sesame oils prepared by shop and industrial press. Sesame oil samples were prepared from four lubrication centers in Ahvaz and their stability during 12 days during the thermal process with tests, acid number, peroxide, anisidine, Totex and iodine to evaluate the oxidative stability and also measure the composition of fatty acids with The use of gas chromatography was performed and evaluated according to Iranian national standards. The results showed that linoleic acid (C18: 2) Level (41.5-42.7) Percentand and oleic acid (C18: 1) Level (38.5- 39.47) Percentand of the maximum fatty acids in sesame oils were studied which The fatty acids of all samples were in the range specified by the National Standard of Iran. The results of acid, iodine, peroxide, anisidine and totex tests all showed a significant difference between the sample of industrially prepared sesame oil and other oils prepared by shop press method and the better performance of industrial oil at a significant level Showed 5%. By interpreting the data and results, it can be found that sesame oils prepared by industrial method have higher thermal stability than oils prepared by shop press method and are more suitable for thermal applications.
