Research has shown that trans fat consumption increases the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and has a direct correlation to the incidence of heart disease. It is now widely believed that trans fat intake adversely affects the health of consumers. A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruling, effective January 1, 2006, required declaration of trans fat content on all Nutrition Facts labels of food products. Around the same time local governments, such as the city of New York, and some restaurants followed suit by eliminating trans fats from their menus. The food industry’s initial concern with trans fat elimination/reduction was the loss of some functionality such as shelf life, stability, and creaming ability with trans-free fats and oils. Researchers are working to develop new trans-free fats and oils that do not have negative sensory properties and maintain the functionality of traditionally hydrogenated oils when used in baked and fried goods. This is an overview of the chemistry, health risks, and research that has been performed to either reduce or eliminate trans fats in food products.

Full textAbstract:
Color formation in oils during frying is one of the most noticeable degradation
reactions that occur in the frying oil. Degradation reactions cause formation of products that positively and negatively impact the nutritional and sensory qualities of both the food being fried and the frying oil. The origins of these pigment forming reactions in the oil and the factors affecting these reactions are not well understood. Assessments of the mechanisms, the components involved and external conditions affecting oil darkening were conducted. The effect of basic food ingredients, commercially sold and laboratory formulated breading and battering, preformed lipid hydroperoxides and phospholipids on color formation and oil degradation of the frying oil were investigated.
Protein products, specifically whey protein, caused both the fastest darkening and
thermo-oxidative deterioration of the frying oil. This breakdown was aided further through
the addition of minor food materials such as glucose and amino acids as well as lipid
hydroperoxides in concentrations greater than 5 % of the frying oil. Nonenzymatic browning is the main reaction causing color formation in the frying oil and utilizes carbonyls from the food product such as starches, sugars and lipid oxidation products as starting materials alongside amino groups from proteins and amino acids. Breading ingredients contributed to oil color formation due to particles from the food crust breaking off into the frying oil to further accelerate browning reactions. Increasing the temperature of the frying oil provided additional stimulus for color forming and thermo-oxidative reactions to progress at a faster rate.xv, 184 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm

The present study sought for practical ways to improve the frying performance of
oils without compromising the availability of the essential fatty acids and nutraceuticals.
To this end, the influence of temperature, oxygen concentrations, and compositions of
minor components on frying performance was investigated.
A novel frying protocol, utilizing carbon dioxide blanketing, was developed and
found to significantly improve the performance of the frying oil. Optimizing both the
amounts and the compositions of endogenous minor components also improved the
performance of the frying oil.
Twenty one novel antioxidants were synthesized and evaluated under frying and
storage conditions. Antioxidant formulations consisting of a combination of endogenous
and synthesized antioxidants were developed and tested in an institutional frying
operation.
A rapid and effective frying test was developed to assess the frying performance
of oils and applied antioxidants. Furthermore, a novel procedure for direct
hydroxynonenal analysis in frying oil was developed.xx, 249 leaves; 29 cm

Bibliography: pages 163-169.The objective of this work was to produce γ-linolenic acid (γLA) using a fungus in submerged fermentation. Selection work was aimed at identifying a fungal strain capable of yielding a high level of γLA in an industrial fermentation. Thirty-nine fungal strains were screened under shake flask conditions. The major criteria used in evaluating these strains were, the yield of γLA per unit volume (g/l) and γLA as a percentage of fatty acids, which is important in the downstream processing of γLA . Other parameters of industrial importance such as strain handling and the fatty acid profile were also considered. Eleven fungi in the order Phycomycetes were identified after initial screening. From these fungi, a strain of Choanephora cucurbitarum was found to give superior γLA yields. c. cucurbitarum produced γLA yields of 331mg/l and 674mg/l in shake flask and laboratory fermenters respectively. This strain had other industrially beneficial qualities such as good sporulation, a good biomass of 22, 5g/l and a relatively high yield of γLA of 2,99g/100g dry matter. Subsequently a Zygorhynchus heterogamus strain was found to give similar yields of γLA to c. cucurbitarum. z. heterogamus also had a high γLA : linoleic acid ratio which aids the purification of γLA . This is the first known report of a high level of γLA in the genus Zygorhynchus. The industrial development of γLA production by Zygorhynchus is not reported.

The research within this thesis sought to determine the ability of various animal derived fats and plant derived oils to support the survival of several pathogenic cocktails over a multitude of storage times. The Salmonella study explored the survival rate of a four strain Salmonella cocktail in beef tallow, pig lard, duck fat, coconut oil, and extra virgin olive oil over seven days at 26˚C and 37˚C storage. The animal fats and the coconut oil supported the survival of the bacteria until the conclusion of the study. The Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli study explored the survival rate of a five strain STECs cocktail in extra virgin olive oil over seven days at 26˚C and 37˚C storage. The two Listeria studies explored the survival rate of a four strain Listeria monocytogenes cocktail in extra virgin olive oil over several time periods with different frequencies of sample mixing. In vitro, all genuses showed a 2.5-log cfu/mL to ≥ 7-log cfu/mL reduction in the extra virgin olive oil by the conclusion of the experiments. Extra virgin olive oil was then applied to cooked pork tenderloin, cheddar cheese snack squares, and turkey lunchmeat in hopes of inhibiting the L. monocytogenes cocktail. No reduction was observed.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates an application of immobilized lipase for pre-treating wastewater containing fats and oils, which is difficult to treat practically. The kinetics of soluble lipase was studied for establishing background of the lipase. The immobilization of lipase was adopted in order to repeatedly use the expensive lipase. The developed immobilization methods were based on the characteristics of carriers, but covalent bonding of lipase was preferred because of strong adsorption nature. Three types of materials, nylon membrane and polystyrene-divinylbenzene and silica gel beads, were used for studying the lipase immobilization characteristics. The lipase from Canada rugosa was chosen because of its relatively high catalytic activity and commercial availability. The oily wastewater sources used were a simulated mixture of olive oil and distilled water as well as actual restaurant oily wastewater. A packed bed reactor packed with immobilized lipase was suitable for the study. Moreover, a comparative study of anaerobic digestion of lipase treated and un-treated oily wastewater was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of the lipase pre-treatment method due to lack of the relevant literature in the enzymatic wastewater treatment field. The kinetics of lipase catalyzed hydrolysis reactions was investigated in a stirred tank reactor. The experimental results confirmed that the lipase catalyzed reaction obeyed Michaelis-Menten model. The optimal pH and temperature of the lipase catalysed hydrolysis reaction were 7 and 37°C, respectively. The conversion of oil to fatty acid was dependent on the reaction time and mass of the enzyme used. The lipase activities depended on the concentrations of some selected additives. Calcium ion improved lipase activity significantly amongst the additives used.The immobilization of lipase was carried out using different materials, nylon membranes, polystyrene-divinylbenzene beads, and silica gel. Covalent adsorption was simple and successful for immobilizing the lipase onto nylon membrane which was pre-treated with HC1 solution for releasing amino groups. The adsorption of lipase was completed after only a 2-hour reaction time. It was much more practical for this shorter adsorption time (2 hours) rather than the 24 hours required for physical capillary adsorption of lipase. The properties of the immobilized lipase and the performance of the reactors we compared amongst the soluble and immobilized lipase forms. The immobilization, particularly for covalent bonding, made lipase more resistant to thermal deactivation. It was evident that the optimum temperature was shifted from 37°C for the soluble lipase to 45 and 40°C for immobilized lipase adsorbed onto nylon and polystyrene-divinylbenzene beads, respectively. The immobilized lipase could be used repeatedly with only little activity loss. The repeatedly operational stability made the reuse of the immobilized lipase possible. Comparison was also made between two types of beads, polystyrene-divinylbenzene beads and silica gels. Though polystyrene-divinylbenzene beads showed higher lipase activity and shorter adsorption time when compared to silica gels, the forme beads were not suggested for large scale study because of high cost of the beads. On improvement achieved in this work was that the 24 hours required for silanization of silica gel was reduced to only a few hours using evaporating 3-APTES in acetone instead of refluxing 3-APTES in toluene.It is worthwhile to point out that much higher enzyme activity was obtained using the packed bed reactor as against the membrane reactor when aqueous oil emulsion was fed into the reactors. The lipase activity was 64.2% of soluble lipase activity for the immobilized lipase in the packed reactor but its activity was hardly detectable in the membrane reactor. Moreover, the operation of the packed bed reactor solved the of separating problem that severely hampered the lipase catalytic activity in the membrane reactor in aqueous phase. This result suggests that the packed bed reacts with the immobilized lipase is applicable in treating oily wastewater. The intrinsic parameters, Vmax and Km, were evaluated to study the internal diffusional effects of the porous spherical silica gel on the immobilized lipase. The changes of Vmax and Km for the immobilized lipase from those of the soluble lipase indicated that some alteration in the lipase intrinsic properties was caused by the immobilization of lipase. However, the magnitude of Thiele modulus suggested the immobilized lipase was most likely reaction controlling. In addition, good agreement for Vmax and Km from experiments and numerical model estimations seemed to suggest that the numerical model could be used for estimating Vmax and Km for the immobilized lipase.An application was tried for conducting the hydrolysis of oily restaurant wastewater by soluble and the immobilized lipase. Enzyme activity of both forms was severely inhibited by the oily wastewater. The enzymatic activity was only 20% and 15% for soluble and the immobilized lipase, respectively, when compared to the initial activity value for the hydrolysis of olive oil by soluble lipase. Evaluation of the efficiency for the proposed lipase pre-treatment method was carried out by monitoring the performance of two anaerobic digesters. These two digesters were fed with lipase treated and untreated restaurant wastewater that was neutralised with KOH solution prior to feeding. The oil-floating problem was minimised by this saponification of fatty acids with potassium hydroxide. However, there was no clear sign of an improvement for the treatment efficiency of the anaerobic digesters in terms of COD removal and methane production rate resulted in digesting lipase treated oily wastewater when compared to the one without lipase pre-treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The reaction of nitric oxide (NO) with several organic and model biological compounds was studied to determine the ultimate fate of NO in a biological milieu, and to devise novel methods of trapping and analysing NO. A series of potential spin traps including anthracene, o-quinone and 2- acetylcyclohexanone was investigated by bubbling NO through a solution of the above compounds. The resulting mixture was analysed by EPR spectroscopy and GC-MS. The EPR spectra obtained showed no radicals were produced and GC-MS analysis revealed only unreacted starting material. Dienes were investigated because of their willingness to react with radical species. Trans-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene did not form a nitroxide when reacted with NO, but in the presence of molecular oxygen, 2,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexadiene gave a mixture of a di-t-alkyl nitroxide and a t-s-dialkyl nitroxide. Traps related to nitromethane anion were investigated in basic solution to generate the aci form, but the only compound to give a spin adduct was nitroethane, and this did not give the expected EPR spectrum. 2-Diazocycloheptanone was synthesised from cycloheptanone and reacted with NO. This reaction produced E and Z iminoxyl radicals and a carbonyl nitroxide. When the solvent was changed from t-butyl benzene to water, no reaction was observed. A known NO donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP), was mixed with the spin trap and photolysed, but this did not produce a spin adduct. A second diazo compound, 5-diazouracil, was investigated, and this produced a radical species with complex but weak EPR spectra. Nitric oxide was reacted with stable free radicals to provide a quantitative spectrophotometric test for NO. Tetraphenylhydrazine was prepared which is in equilibrium with the diphenylaminyl radical in solution. The diphenylaminyl radical trapped NO and was detected by UV/vis spectroscopy, reaching a λ[sub]max after about one hour. When the solvent was changed from t-butyl benzene to acetonitrile, the reaction took place much more rapidly. From these results it appeared that NO could be detected at concentrations beteween 10 −4 and 10−7 M. Nitric oxide did not react with the parent compound, diphenylamine. When mixed with NO2, diphenylamine formed nitro addition products. Another stable radical, galvinoxyl, was investigated. This did not rapidly scavenge NO to give an identifiable adduct. Nitric oxide was reacted with several alkenes with electron-releasing groups and alkenes with electron-withdrawing groups. The reaction between n-butylvinyl ether and NO was investigated at room temperature. Many oxidation products were identified from the mass spectra obtained. Oxidation products were also identified from the reaction between NO and 1-cyclohexenyIoxytrimethylsilane. Analysis by EPR spectroscopy revealed the presence of two radicals, likely to be dialkyl nitroxides. No products were observed in the reaction of NO and methyl linoleate. EPR spectroscopy of a solution containing mesityl oxide and NO revealed the presence of three radicals, E and Z conformers of the iminoxyl radical, and a carbonyl nitroxide. 1-Acetylcyclohexene reacted with NO to give a di-t-alkyl nitroxide. Synthesis and subsequent photolysis of 1-acetylcyclohexenyl oxime confirmed this result. Another acceptor compound studied was tetracyanoethene; this did not react with NO. Cyclopropylacetyl peroxide was investigated, as decomposition gives the cyclopropyl methyl radical. Analysis of the resulting solution showed that bicyclohexyl had been formed, but there were no traces of any nitrogen-containing products. Nitric oxide did not react with either glutathione or dibenzyl disulphide, but NO2 reacted with L-tryptophan forming a radical adduct. Analysis by EPR spectroscopy yielded a strong three-line signal, characteristic of a nitroxide. The abstraction of hydrogen from, and the rearrangement of selected silylamines was investigated. The amines were photolysed in the presence of di-t-butyl peroxide in the cavity of the EPR spectrometer at temperatures ranging from 160K to 250K. The spectra obtained showed the unrearranged and rearranged radicals. No nitrogen-centred radicals were observed by EPR.

Stewart, David I. "The effect of low melting oils on the crystallisation of confectionery fats." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2017. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/24420.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis concentrates on gaining a fundamental understanding of the crystallisation, phase behaviour, and melting in relatively simple fat/oil blends. This is the first reported study of hot stage microscopy (HSM) experiments on tripalmitin (PPP)/triolein (OOO), 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoylglycerol (POP)/OOO, and cocoa butter (CB)/hazelnut oil (HZ) systems. The HSM technique allows the visualisation of the initial crystallisation, polymorphic transformations, and melting of fat crystals; melting points can also help identify polymorphic form. Supporting experiments were also performed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In PPP-OOO samples, HSM visualised for the first time a melt-mediated transformation from β' to β across a small liquid gap between the untransformed (β') and transformed (β) material. This behaviour was not seen with pure PPP. Melting points obtained by HSM for the PPP/OOO system were above those predicted by the Hildebrand equation, but this is attributed to the non-equilibration of concentration gradients within the system. This was evidenced by the fact that a rapid cooling rate (to produce a finer microstructure with smaller crystals, and hence reduce diffusion distances) combined with a slower remelt rate enabled samples to melt close to ideal. Indeed, final melting points obtained via HSM were consistently higher than DSC results across all systems; convection and the more three-dimensional system in DSC (as compared with the two-dimensional HSM system) may have aided melting. The POP/OOO system displayed complex remelting behaviour, especially when warmed at a relatively slow rate; this also resulted in a higher production of β. Liquid oil content was shown to not only be important in aiding transformation of lower forms to β, but also reduced the number of polymorphs observed upon remelting, as compared with pure fat samples. Liquid oil content was also shown to be crucial for transformation to β in the CB/HZ experiments; very few β crystals were seen in pure CB samples. Experiments carried out on DSC for both CB and CB-HZ cooling at 1°C/min or faster produced both α and β' crystals, but for CB-HZ this also then led to some transformation from α to β. The β polymorph was not observed when only β' was formed at slower cooling rates. A curious result was that the effect was stronger the longer the samples were held at 0°C before rewarming, with the α becoming more resilient against transforming to β' and instead transforming directly to β. More extensive transformation to β occurred if the sample was held for 30 min at 18°C or 22°C during the rewarming step. As well as showing differences in melting temperatures, the HSM and DSC results also did not always match with respect to polymorphic form. Small quantities of β crystals were seen in HSM samples that were not always seen in thermograms of equivalent DSC samples. This either highlights the limitations of DSC or suggests that polymorphic behaviour in the more fluid DSC system differs to that in HSM, or both. Growth rate analysis of PPP (in OOO) showed that both reduced supersaturation and supercooling can be correlated with the growth rates of β' and β. Growth rates of β that occurred via the melting of β' were well correlated with driving forces that took into account that the concentration of PPP in the liquid gap between β' and β (from which the β crystal was growing) was limited by the solubility of β' at the sample temperature. Whilst temperature is often seen as a key driver in governing polymorphic transformation, part of the temperature effect may be an indirect effect via the extra amount of liquid content at higher temperatures. The ability of oil to aid transformation to β may be relevant to food systems where this higher polymorphic form is the preferred type, such as chocolate. Potential applications could include producing novel fat blends with relatively stable fat network structures at a lower overall saturate level, or developing blends with bloom inhibiting properties.

Full textAbstract:
Removal of fats, oils and greases (FOG) from commercial food premises prior to discharge of wash waters into the sewer is critical in restricting blockage events. The FOG droplets that form are commonly removed in passive gravity separators. Enhanced separation through design modification, would allow a reduction in size required to achieve target removal. The aim of the project was to determine the feasibility of enhancing removal of FOGs in gravity separation devices and or in post treatment units. The thesis work examined the effect characteristics of oil droplet size and density had on FOG removal with a view to increasing droplet rise rates and hence separation. Examination of kitchen wastewater from a number of restaurants established that droplet sizes were typically in the mechanically emulsified oil size range, often with high zeta potential indicating electrostatic stabilisation of suspensions. Oil removal rates were examined using different oils typical of food preparations in laboratory scale experiments. Under a fixed energy input the different oils produced different droplet size distributions such that very different separation efficiencies were observed. The removal rates obtained allowed the prediction of oil removal from a sample in a given time when the median droplet size and density of the oil were known. For effective understanding of separator design and testing, droplet densities and sizes must be adequately measured and replicated. In addition, the light fuel oil used in the certification test produced very unstable suspensions, easily separable in the standard testing conditions, proving it a poor surrogate test material. Pre-formed droplets of sunflower oil were treated in a vertically aligned reaction chamber with an ultrasonic transducer fitted at the base. FOG removal, measured as HEM removal, was monitored as a function of power input, frequency, reactor size and residence time, the incoming flow entered counter currently to the ultrasonic wave propagation. The ultrasound treatment procedure removed 80% of oil from a suspension of droplets in the mechanically emulsified oil size range during the course of a 54 minute continuous experiment compared to 20-30% removal in the case of an equivalent separated without ultrasonic enhancement. The enhanced separation was found to be dependent on the power input and the reactor size. Application of ultrasound energy in modified grease separators to remove short-circuiting droplets would allow a reduction in overall size of units through reduced residence time requirement.

Fats and oils are an important topic in the margarine and spreads industry. The selection of these ingredients can be based on many factors including flavor, functionality, cost, and health aspects. In general, fat is an important component of a healthy diet. Fat or oil provides nine calories per gram of energy, transports essential vitamins, and is necessary in cellular structure. Major shifts in consumption of fats and oils through history have been driven by consumer demand. An example is the decline in animal fat consumption due to consumers’ concern over saturated fats. Also, consumers’ concern over the obesity epidemic and coronary heart disease has driven demand for new, lower calorie, nutrient-rich spreads products. Fats and oils can be separated into many different subgroups. “Fats” generally refer to lipids that are solid at room temperature while “oils” refer to those that are liquid. Fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. If they are unsaturated, they can be either mono-, di-, or poly-unsaturated. Also, unsaturated bonds can be in the cis or trans conformation. A triglyceride, which is three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone, can have any combination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Triglycerides are the primary components of animal and vegetable fats and oils. The ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in these fats and oils has a great impact on their functionality. Common fats and oils include butterfat, beef tallow, fish oils, soybean oil, rapeseed (canola) oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, linseed (flax) oil, and safflower oil. Typical fat and oil modification techniques include hydrogenation, interesterification, alternative hydrogenation, fractionation, blending, farm/field practices and genetic modification, and the use of fat replacers. There are many processing techniques that can be utilized in margarine and spreads production. The process can be optimized for each margarine or spreads product. There are many fats and oils in margarine and spreads formulations. Familiarity with commonly used fats and oils in regards to availability, cost, nutrition, chemistry, and functionality are important when creating a cost-effective, functional margarine or spreads product.

Full textAbstract:
To increase profitability for biogas production, new innovative substrates and condition of operations needs to be implemented. At the current state, fats, oils and greases (FOGs) represent a promising substrate even though it brings operational challenges to the anaerobic digestion process. By utilizing hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) as a pre-treatment of the FOGs, the efficiency of FOGs’ co-digestion with wastewater sludge can be significantly improved. Preliminary experiments conducted on oil and water demonstrates that the HC pre-treatment improves the oil solubilisation as well as forms stable oil and water emulsion that last for several hours. The pre-treatment also improved the soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) of biosludge (BiSl) by up to 115% and the initial degradation rate by up to 35%. In a semi-continues system, this allowed a significant increment in the specific methane yield depending on the organic loading rate (OLR) applied1. With sufficient process optimization, the HC-pre-treatment may prove to be an energy efficient and effective pre-treatment of FOGs.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding of molecular events involved in food safety and human health has become a major concern of contemporary life. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for characterization of complex food ingredients and biological molecules. Advances in MS-based techniques have offered new opportunities to understand the chemical changes occurring during food storage and processing as well as the molecular events perturbed by either endogenous or exogenous stimulus. In this thesis, we developed novel MS-based approaches for authentication of edible oil (i.e., edible vegetable oil, deep frying oil and gutter oil), assessment of genotoxicity of fatty acid hydroperoxides, and investigation of metabolic deregulation in pleural effusion and tissue of human lung cancer, aiming to gain a better understanding of food safety and human health. MS-based methods were developed for authentication of edible vegetable oil adulterated with used cooking oil. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that six monoglycerides could be used as the markers to discriminate the used cooking oil (e.g., deep frying oil and gutter oil) and qualified edible oil. Accumulation behavior of these six monoglycerides was detected in the repeatedly heated edible oils. Quantitation of the monoglycerides enabled authentication of commercial olive oil adulterated with a small amount of used cooking oil (approximately 1%). In addition, a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) method was developed for visual authentication of edible oil samples, including commercial vegetable oil, used cooking oil and adulterated edible oil. The method provided the capability for quantifying major chemical composition of edible oil, such as triglycerides, diglycerides and monoglycerides. The present method required minimal sample preparation and allowed screening of oil samples with high throughput (approximately 360 samples per day), providing a simple way to authenticate different types of oil samples. Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) was applied to investigate the genotoxicity of two fatty acid hydroperoxides, i.e., 13-hydroperoxyoctadeca-cis-9,trans-11-dienoic acid (13-HPODE) and 13-hydroperoxy-9,11E,15Z-octadecatrienoic acid (13-HPOTE), which are important inducers of oxidative deterioration in oils and fats generated from the oxidation of linolenic acid and linoleic acid. The results demonstrated that the α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, such as 4-oxo-2-nonenal, dioxo-10-dodecenoic acid, 4-hydroperoxy-2-nonenal and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal are the main degradation compounds of 13-HPODE and 13-HPOTE, which can covalently bound to deoxyribose-nucleosides and ribose-nucleosides to form adducts. This study provided evidences regarding the genotoxicity of fatty acid hydroperoxides at the molecular level. MS-based metabolomics methods were developed and applied for the investigation of metabolic signatures of pleural effusion and tissue of human lung cancer. A database-assisted global metabolomics method was established with utility of LC-Orbitrap MS, followed by automated mass spectral searching. The method enabled unbiased identification of 194 endogenous metabolites in pleural effusions caused by tuberculosis and malignancy. Among which, 33 differential metabolites involved in tryptophan catabolism, bile acid biosynthesis, and β-oxidation of fatty acids were found between tuberculous and malignant pleural effusions, which provided non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis of pleural effusion samples with high sensitivity and specificity. In addition, a large-scale targeted metabolomics method was developed, which enabled reliable detection of over 400 biological metabolites, covering 92 metabolic pathways in human samples. The method was applied to characterize the metabolic profiles of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues. A number of distant metabolic pathways were found to be differentiated between tumor and normal tissues of lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, including purine metabolism, citric acid cycle, amino acid metabolism, urea cycle, and ammonia recycling. In addition, several metabolites, such as adenosine, glutamate, glucose 1,6-bisphosphate, betaine, creatine and methionine sulfoxide were found to be associated with prognosis of NSCLC patients, which might provide potential biomarkers to monitor metabolic characteristics of NSCLC patients and treatment outcomes of the cancer.

Full textAbstract:
Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy was investigated as a means of quantitative analysis of edible fats and oils. Initially, a method of simultaneously determining the cis and trans content, iodine value and saponification number of neat fats and oils using a heated transmission flow cell was developed. Two partial least squares (PLS) calibrations were devised, a process-specific calibration based on hydrogenated soybean oil and a more generalized calibration based on many oil types, the latter able to analyze oils from a variety of sources accurately and reproducibly. Methodology for the quantitative determination of the peroxide value (PV) of edible oils using a novel glass-vial sample handling system was subsequently developed, based on the stoichiometric reaction of triphenylphosphine with hydroperoxides to form triphenylphosphine oxide. The PV calibration was derived using PLS regression, and the results of a validation study demonstrated that PV could be quantitated accurately if a normalization routine was used to compensate for the inherent dimensional variability of the vials. The vial sample handling system was then used in the development of PLS IV calibrations for the process analysis of commercial oil samples, and these samples were also used to evaluate a global IV calibration devised by Bomem Inc. The discriminant features available through PLS were shown to enhance the accuracy of the IV predictions by facilitating the selection of the most appropriate calibrations based on the spectral characteristics of closely related oils. The predictions obtained using the global IV calibration provided clear evidence that a generalized calibration based on a large and varied selection of oils could provide a means of IV determination by FT-NIR spectroscopy. Subsequently, a generalized FT-NIR trans calibration was developed and shown to yield trans values that were in good agreement with those obtained by the AOCS mid-FTIR single-bounce hori

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the use of a novel chemiluminescence (CL)
technique to deter·mine the extent of oxidation and stability in
both model compounds and vegetable oils. As it is the presence
of hydroperoxides in vegetable oils that leads to theirdeterioration,
the hydroperoxides of methyl linoleate (MU were
used as model compounds in a CL study of hydroperoxide
decomposition in nitrogen, both in the bulk and on active
substrates. The largest signals and the fastest decays
occurred on neutral alumina. The results indicate induced
decomposition via a bimolecular initiation of hydroperoxides
adsorbed on adjacent active sites. The majority of these
hydroperoxides are vertical to the surface, being bound to the
alumina through the ester group only.
A relationship was found between hydroperoxide concentr·ation
and initial intensity when the methyl linoleate hydroperoxide
was adsorbed on neutral alumina. Solutions of natural and
arti-ficial antioxidants in ML were studied. Some solutions
gave changes in kinetics. These changes suggest that the
antioxidant itself may contribute to the CL. The method of
inhibitors was used to find the rate of initiation and
hydroperoxide level in ML at 80c:>C.
The spectral distribution of CL was determined for model
compounds, antioxidants and vegetable oils. In the presence of
antioxidants ther-e was a shift towar-d the r-ed end of the
spectr-um. In model compounds, the CL was most likely due to an
excited triplet state ketone and this is consistent with the
mechanism for- ter·mination of alkyl peroxy r-adicals.
The techniques developed for the model compounds were extended
to the mor-e complex vegetable oils. Unrefined and deliberately
damaged vegetable oils were studied at 80c:>C on neutral
alumina. CL examination of these oils in nitr-ogen was able to distinguish between some damaged and undamaged oils.
Conjugated diene levels did not correlate well with CL results.
0<-tocopherol and a-carotene were found to be chemiluminescent
on alumina and their presence in unr·efined oil may inter·fer·e
with CL assessment.
The method of inhibitors, when applied to a vegetable oil
sample, permitted the determination of both hydroperoxide
concentration and the level of natural antioxidant alr-eady
present in the oil.

Full textAbstract:
The application of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the assessment of oil quality and stability and the determination of the degree and type (cis or trans) of unsaturation of fats and oils was investigated. FTIR spectroscopy was shown to provide a rapid means of monitoring changes in oils undergoing oxidation or subjected to thermal stress. Absorption bands associated with common primary and secondary oxidation products were identified by relating them to those of spectroscopically representative reference compounds, and a quantitative approach based on the use of oils spiked with these reference compounds as calibration standards was proposed. A sample-handling accessory based on a heated 25-mum transmission flow cell and heated input and output lines was developed to facilitate the rapid analysis of oils and premelted fats in their neat form. Using this system, an FTIR edible oil analysis package was developed to simultaneously analyze for trans content, cis content, iodine value (IV), and saponification number (SN) of neat fats and oils, using partial-least-squares (PLS) calibrations based on pure triglycerides. An automated transmission-based peak height method for isolated trans isomer determination using the characteristic trans absorption band at 967 cm -1 in the spectrum of a neat fat or oil, ratioed against the spectrum of a trans-free oil, was also developed. A subsequent validation study involving the analysis of more than 100 oil samples demonstrated concurrence between the trans data obtained by the PLS and peak height FTIR methods as well as between IV results obtained by FTIR analysis and gas chromatography. In addition, the internal consistency of the IV, cis, and trans FTIR predictions provided strong experimental evidence that the FTIR edible oil analysis package measures all three parameters accurately. A PLS-based IV/trans method was developed for a heated single-bounce horizontal attenuated total reflectance (SB-HATR) sample-

Full textAbstract:
In this work, a rapid Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopic peroxide value (PV) method was developed and a prototype Continuous Oil Analysis and Treatment (COAT) system was assessed for monitoring and analytical purposes. High erucic acid rapeseed oil, a principle representative of triglyceride based oils suitable for biodegradable lubricating applications and mineral oil were used to test the methodology developed.The FT-NIR PV method is based on a well defined stoichiometric reaction of triphenylphospine (TPP) with hydroperoxides to form triphenylphospine oxide (TPPO). A partial least squares calibration model for the prediction of PV was developed using the NIR spectral region where TPP and TPPO co-absorb. The resulting calibration was highly linear over the analytical range of 100PV. Validation of the method carried out by comparing the PV of PLS prediction to the results of AOCS iodometric procedures indicated an excellent concurrence between the two methods. By programming the FT-NIR spectrometer, the analytical procedure simply consists of the addition of TPP stock solution to oil sample, mixing, taking its spectrum and predicting PV value. Through selected testing procedures, the prototype COAT system utilizing FTIR spectroscopy, advanced sample handling system designs, and computer programming was proved to be effective in monitoring the oil quality and behavior of antioxidants in real time.
Both approaches offer combined advantages of speed, accuracy, low labor cost, automation, and environmental friendliness mainly derived from FTIR spectroscopy, and can serve as convenient means for routine quality control applications in oils and fats industry. Potential application based on the joint usage of the two methods in the obtaining of true value of oil stability was also presented in this text. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
This work describes an investigation of the development of a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic method for the determination of Solid Fat Index (SFI) of fats as a possible replacement of the traditional dilatometric procedure. The initial approach considered was the use of an existing FTIR analytical package which was designed to measure iodine value (IV), saponification number (SN), and cis and trans content. It was hypothesized that these measures could be related to SFI using multiple linear regression (MLR), thereby allowing the existing analytical package to simultaneously make SFI measures. It was found that there was a strong relationship between SN/cis/trans measurements and SFI, especially in sequentially hydrogenated oils. The MLR relationships, however, did not reproduce the dilatometric SFI values with sufficient accuracy in the general case, and this approach had to be abandoned. Subsequently, a partial least squares (PLS) calibration approach was investigated, relating the dilatometric SFI data directly to the spectral characteristics of the melted fats. It was found that suitable PLS calibrations could be developed for soybean and Canola oils. Based on these results, an FTIR system was programmed to determine SFI and the performance of the system validated using pre-analyzed "unknowns". It was shown that the SFI of either soybean or Canola oils could be determined to within $ pm$ 1.0 SFI. As configured, the FTIR system is capable of determining the SFI of a neat and clear, melted fat sample at 80$ sp circ$C in less than two minutes, providing four SFI values, representing the solids content at 50, 70, 80 and 92$ sp circ$F. In contrast to the standard dilatometric method, which takes over two hours to carry out, the FTIR approach provides a rapid means of determining SFI, the technique being suitable for routine quality control applications in the fats and oils industry.

The biscuits were made from flour containing 7.53%, 8.99%, and 10.05% protein with 30, 40, and 50 grams of shortening and 0 or 2.2 grams of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Biscuit quality was assessed by objective and sensory evaluation. The caloric content of the biscuits was also determined by bomb calorimetry.
No significant differences were detected in biscuit volume, crumb and crust color, or tenderness. The biscuits prepared with lower levels of shortening were moister than the biscuits prepared with higher levels of shortening. Wo significant differences were found by sensory panelists with regard to evenness of exterior color, aroma, evenness of cell structure, size of cell structure, interior color, center moistness, tenderness, biscuit flavor, or aftertaste. Flakiness and exterior color were found to be significantly different. Biscuits with added MCC were detected to be less flaky. Biscuits prepared from medium protein level flour and low-shortening with MCC were darker than high-shortening biscuits without MCC. High-protein, high-shortening biscuits with MCC were darker than medium-protein, high-shortening biscuits without MCC. The caloric content of the biscuits prepared with lower amounts of shortening was found to be significantly less than biscuits prepared with the higher levels of shortening. In conclusion, high quality biscuits can be produced from flour of varying protein content with less shortening and without the incorporation of MCC.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
The thermal, oxidative, and hydrolytic stability of several frying shortenings were studied via chemical, physical and sensory analyses. Corn, cottonseed and peanut oils, and cottonseed and soybean liquid shortenings were tested under static heating conditions, while peanut oil, and cottonseed and soybean oil liquid shortenings were evaluated under commercial frying conditions.
The research had two objectives: to evaluate the relative stability of the various shortenings under both heating condition; and to evaluate new or modified quality assessment methods which would provide early prediction of heat abuse for the fast-food industry.
Six of the conducted analyses were conventional or modified: free fatty acids; polar components; gas chromatograph volatile profiles; viscosity; FoodOil-Sensor; and sensory. Three were new: contact angle; high temperature; and high-temperature gas chromatographic analysis of triglyceride; and polar component % as determined by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC).
Under static heating conditions, varying heating periods or shortening types had significant (P<0.000l) effects on the resulting data of the following tests: free fatty acids; polar component; total volatiles; dielectric constant; viscosity; polar component % measured by HPTLC; contact angle; and sensory analysis; but heating time had no significant effect on triglyceride profiles
Under commercial frying conditions of chicken nuggets and filets, heating time had significant effects on changes in the dielectric constant; free fatty acid %; viscosity; contact angle; and sensory rating; also it had a significant effect on the polar component % under chicken nugget frying conditions only. Furthermore, heating time had no significant effect on polar component % under chicken filet frying conditions and on polar component % by HPTLC under both frying conditions
Cottonseed oil liquid shortening had sensory scores equal to peanut oil under static and commercial frying conditions even though peanut oil exhibited a greater chemical and physical stability. Soybean oil liquid shortening had an objective quality identical to peanut oil, however, its subjective quality was lower. Cottonseed oil liquid shortening had better flavor but less objective stability than soybean oil liquid shortening
The cut-off quality level for the shortenings was not reached, because all the shortenings were discarded after seven days of use which was before the onset of significant-quality deterioration.
The best on-site index of shortening stability was the FoodOil-Sensor reading (dielectric constant) which was followed by the free fatty acid test.Ph. D.

Thesis (MSc Food Sc )--Stellenbosch University, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The oxidative stability of crude, cold-pressed mango kernel fat (MKF) was determined over a period of 240 days using the peroxide value (PV), conjugated diene value (CD) and p-anisidine value (AV) tests. The changes in fatty acid profile were monitored with gas chromatography and the oxidative status of MKF effectively predicted by FT-NIR spectroscopy. Results obtained from the different methods complemented each other and indicated the stable character of mango kernel fat against oxidative deterioration. The fatty acid profile constituted palmitic acid (CI6:0; 8.43%), stearic acid (CI8:0; 34.98%), oleic acid (CI8:1 cis; 48.05%), linoleic acid (CI8:2; 6.60%) and arachidic acid (C20:0; 1.73%). Trace amounts of C16:1 (0.56%), C18:1 trans (0.25%), C18:3 (0.43%), C20:1 (0.25%) and C22:0 (0.40%) were also found. The freshly pressed MKF had a peroxide value of 2.7 meq.kg", CD value of 0.07% and an AV of 2.2 mmol.kg", After 40 days of storage, the peroxide values of MKF stored with and without exposure to a limited amount of oxygen at 5, 15,25 and 40°C increased to 5 meq.kg" and 4 meq.kg" respectively. Emulsification of MKF had a stabilising effect (maximum PV = 2.8 meq.kg'), while exposure to UV light had a catalysing effect (maximum PV = 5 meq.kg'). These maximum values, decreased after 40 days. The CD values of MKF samples stored with and without exposure to oxygen at 5, 15,25 and 40°C increased to 0.18% and 0.16%, respectively at day 40. The CD values of samples exposed to light increased to 0_20% and the emulsified samples showed similar values to that of the MKF samples not exposed to oxygen. The conjugated diene values remained stable after day 40. The p-anisidine values of the MKF samples both stored with and without exposure to oxygen at 5, 15, 25 and 40°C varied between 0.5 and 5 mmol.kg". The weak correlation to the measurement of nonanal, as well as the low levels of 2-alkenals produced by the MKF, resulted in these low and sometimes non-linear values. The peroxide, conjugated diene and p-anisidine values obtained for MKF stored at 25°C over 240 days were low due to the low content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in MKF. This compared favourably with the higher values attained for sunflower, canola and olive oil, which are all rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. The minimal changes observed in the fatty acid profile of mango kernel fat indicated the stability of the saturated fatty acids (CI6:0 and CI8:0) and oleic acid. In addition, the instability of linoleic and linolenic acids was evident due to oxidative deterioration. A decrease of 7.41% and 12.80% was observed between day 0 and 240 for the C18:2/C16:0 and C18:2/C18:0 ratios respectively. The prediction of the oxidative status of the MKF samples by near infrared spectroscopy were possible after the development of calibration models from a total data set of 300 samples of which one-third was used for independent validation. Principle component analysis (PCA) indicated classification at 0, 40 and the remaining (80 - 240) days. The best calibration model for PV yielded a SEP (standard error of prediction) of 0.46 meq.kg", correlation coefficient (r) of 0.95, bias of 0.02 and a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.46 meq.kg". The CD calibration model had a correlation coefficient of 0.89, SEP of 0.01 %, bias of 0.001 and RMSEP of 0.01% when developed on a data set with no pre-processing applied. The AV calibration had a SEP of 0.32 mmol.kg", bias of 0.03, RMSEP of 0.32 mmol.kg" and rof 0.93. The C18:2 and C18:3 models were built using partial least squares (PLS) regression and the values obtained for SEP were 0.31% and 0.054%, RMSEP 0.32% and 0.05%, bias 0.05 and 0.01 and correlation coefficcients were 0.82 and 0.54 respectively. The calibrations for CI8:1, C18:0 and C16:0 yielded weaker correlations. Good correlations were obtained when calibrating the CI8:2/CI6:0 and C18:2/CI8:0 ratios.

Die veranderinge in die vetsuurprofiel is gemonitor deur gaschromatografie en die oksidatiewe status van MKV is akkuraat voorspel word deur Fourier transformasie naby infrarooi (FT-NIR) spektroskopie. Die resultate van die verskillende toetsmetodes komplementeer mekaar goed en dui die stabiliteit van mango kern vet teen oksidatiewe verval aan. Die vetsuurprofiel is saamgestel uit palimitiensuur (C16:0; 8.43%), steariensuur (C18:0; 34.98%), oleïensuur (C18:1 cis; 48.05%), linoleïensuur (C18:2; 6.60%) en aragiedsuur (20:0; 1.73%). Spoorhoeveelhede C16:1 (0.56%), C18:1 trans (0.25%), C18:3 (0.43%), C20:1 (0.25%) en C22:0 (0.40%) is ook geïdentifiseer. Die vars geperste MKF het 'n peroksiedwaarde van 2.7 meq.kg", 'n CD waarde van 0.07% en 'n AV waarde van 2.2 mmol.kg" getoon. Na afloop van 40 dae opbergingsperiode by 5, 15, 25 en 40°C het die PV van MKV met 'n beperkte blootstelling aan suurstof na 5 meq.kg" vermeerder, terwyl die waardes van monsters sonder suurstofblootstelling na 4 meq.kg" vermeerder het. Emulsifisering van MKV het 'n stabiliserende effek (maksimum PV = 2.8 meq.kg") terwyl blootstelling aan ultraviolet (UV) lig 'n kataliserende effek (maksimum PV = meq.kgl ) op oksidasie gehad het. Hierdie maksimum waardes het na 40 dae afgeneem. Die CD waardes van MKF monsters opgeberg by 5, 15, 25 en 40°C en met beperkte blootstelling aan suurstof het vermeerder tot 0.18% terwyl die monsters sonder suurstofblootstelling by bogenoemde temperature vermeerder het tot 0.16% na 40 dae. Die gekonjugeerde dieen waardes van die monsters blootgestel aan UV lig het vermeerder tot 0.20%; terwyl die geëmulsifiseerde monsters waardes soortgelyk aan die MKV monsters sonder blootstelling aan suurstof getoon het. Gekonjugeerde dieen waardes het gestabiliseer vanaf dag 40. Die p-anisidienwaardes van MKV monsters opgeberg by temperature van 5,15, 25 en 40°C, met en sonder blootstelling aan suurstof, het varieer tussen 0.5 en 5 mmol.kg". Die swak korrellasie tussen nonanal produksie en p-anisidienwaardes, sowel as die klein hoeveelhede 2-alkenale geproduseer, was verantwoordelik vir hierdie lae en nie linêere waardes. Die peroksied, gekonjugeerde dieen en p-anisidienwaardes wat verkry is nadat MKV by 25°C in 240 opgeberg is, was laag weens die klein persentasie poli-onversadigde vetsure teenwoordig in die vet. Dit vergelyk goed met die hoë waardes wat verkry is vir sonneblom-, canola- en olyfolie wat almal ryk aan poli-onversadigde vetsure is. Die minimale veranderinge in die vetsuurprofiel van MKF dui op die stabiliserende invloed van versadigde vetsure (C16:0 en C18:0) en oleïensuur. Die onstabiliteit van linoleïen- en lineensuur duidelik uit hierdie vetsure se oksidatiewe verval. 'n Afname van 7.41% en 12.80% is waargeneem tussen dae 0 en 240 vir die C18:2/C16:0 en C18:2/C18:0 verhoudings, onderskeidelik. Die voorspelling van die oksidatiewe status van die MKF monsters met behulp van FT-NIR spektroskopie was moontlik deur die ontwikkeling van kalibrasie modelle. 'n Totale datastel van 300 monsters, waarvan ongeveer 'n derde vir validasie aangewend is, is gebruik vir die kalibrasiemodelle. Met behulp van PCA (hoojkomponent analise) kon drie klassifiseerbare groepe by 0, 40 en 80-240 dae onderskei word. Die beste kalibrasiemodel vir PV het 'n standaardfout van voorspelling (SEP) van 0.46 meq.kg", 'n korrellasiekoëffisient (r) van 0.95, 'n oorhelling van 0.02 en 'n standaardfout van voorspelling (RMSEP) van 0.46 meq.kg" gehad. Die CD kalibrasiemodel (geen voorafverwerking) het 'n r van 0.89, SEP van 0.01% oorhelling van 0.001 en RMSEP van 0.01% gehad. Die AV kalibrasie het 'n SEP van 0.32 mmol.kg', oorhelling van 0.03, RMSEP van 0.32 mmol.kg" en r van 0.93 gehad. Die C18:2 en C18:3 modelle is saamgestel deur PLS (partial least squares) regressie. Waardes verkry vir C18:2 en C18:3 was onderskeidelik: SEP 0.32% en 0.05%, RMSEP, 0.32% en 0.05%, oorhelling 0.05 en 0.01 en r 0.82 en 0.54. In die geval van C18:1, C18:0 en C16:0, het die kalibrasies swakker statistiek korrellasies getoon. Goeie korrellasies is verkry tydens kalibrasie vir die C18:2/C16:0 en C18:2/C18:0 verhoudings.

Full textAbstract:
Theobroma cacao é o nome científico do cacau, sugerido no século XVIII por Linné. Porém a história do chocolate se inicia bem antes com as civilizações mesoamericanas Asteca e Maia e, ainda a recém citada Olmeca, entre outros grupos. Os Olmecas, cultura existente a três milênios atrás, foram possivelmente os primeiros a utilizar o chocolate. Os Astecas usavam o chocolate para representar o sangue, um símbolo poderoso, e como moeda. Coube aos espanhóis difundir para o resto do mundo, a partir do século XVI, o chocolate ou \"tchocolath\" , bebida amarga e apimentada, na qual inicialmente diminuiu-se a proporção de especiarias e acrescentou-se mel ou açúcar. Atualmente o chocolate é um produto extremamente consumido e cujas propriedades ainda estão sendo descobertas. Foram analisados chocolates \"tipo cobertura\" disponíveis no mercado brasileiro, com base em suas propriedades químicas e físicas, com ênfase no estudo de reologia. O estudo instrumental da textura de chocolates é o principal método para avaliação do processo de fabricação e das matérias primas utilizadas. A porcentagem de manteiga de cacau e de gorduras sucedâneas é de especial importância. Também foram avaliadas a influência da adição de parafina nesses chocolates, bem como a compatibilidade de misturas entre chocolates fabricados com manteiga de cacau e \"chocolates\" fabricados com gorduras hidrogenadas. Pela composição em ácidos graxos identificou-se o tipo de gordura utilizada nas coberturas: láurica (Harald branca e ao leite); não-Iáurica (GDT-L9, GDT -BL); mistura láuricalnão-Iáurica (Evelyn branca, MDT -L); manteiga de cacau (Vitória branca e ao leite; Garoto branca, ao leite e meio amarga; Lacta e Dan Top branca). Os diagramas C50 x C54 e o diagrama ternário (POP-SOS-POS) forneceram informações sobre os tipos de gorduras empregadas. O diagrama de iso-dureza apontou a formação de eutético nas misturas entre coberturas Garoto e Harald ao leite, principalmente na proporção 50:50. Os resultados da análise de textura mostraram grande variabilidade em todos os parâmetros, fornecendo um perfil de comportamento para as coberturas. A retemperagem alterou o parâmetro de dureza nas diferentes temperaturas. Existiu diferença entre as amostras retemperadas com e sem parafina. O viscosímetro Brookfield-L V juntamente com programa de computador forneceu resultados satisfatórios para análise de chocolate, sendo um método prático e de baixo custo. A viscosidade não variou linearmente com o conteúdo de gordura. A curva de resfriamento pode prestar-se à identificação do tipo de gordura utilizada na produção de chocolate.Theobroma cacao is the scientific name of the cocoa, suggested in the XVIII century by Linné. However, the history of the chocolate begins before Aztecs and Mayans Mesoamerican civilizations, and the new mentioned Olmecs, among other groups. The Olmecs, a culture existing some three millennia ago, were possibly the first ones to use the chocolate. In some forms, the Aztecs used the chocolate to represent blood, a symbol visually potent, and uniformly used as currency among Mesoamerican cultures. From XVI century, the Spanishies diffused the chocolate other \"tchocolath\" to the rest of the World, adding honey or sugar to the spicy drink. Nowadays, chocolate is an extremely consumed product and whose properties are still being discovered. Physicochemical properties and rheological studies of the couverture chocolate available at the Brazilian market were analysed. Instrumental study of texture characteristics is a principal requiriment for evaluating manufacturing process and raw materiais used. The cocoa butter percentage and replacement fats are of special importance. The addition of paraffin also was eva I uated , as well as the compatibility of the mixtures among couvertures with cocoa butter and couvertures with replacement fats. The fats of the couvertures were identified by the fatty acids composition method: lauric fat (Harald white and milk couvertures); non lauric fat (GDTL9 and GDT -BL couvertures); mixture lauriclnon lauric fats (Evelyn white couvertures and MDT-L couverture); cocoa butter (Vitória white and milk couvertures; Garoto white, milk and bitter couvertures; Lacta milk couverture and Dan Top white couverture). Temary (POP-POS-SOS) and C50xC54 diagrams provided informations about the types of the fat used in the couvertures. formulation. Iso-hardness diagram showed the eutectic formation at the couverture mixtures (Garoto and Harald milk couvertures), mainly in the proportion 50:50. Results of the texture evaluation showed large variability of ali parameters, providing a behaviour profile of the couvertures. Manual tempering modified the hardness at different temperatures. There was difference among with and without paraffin manual tempering. Brookfield-L V viscosimeter and the computer program provided satisfactory results to the chocolate analyses, being a practical and low cost method. Viscosity didn\'t vary linearly with fat content. The cooling curve may be used as a identification method of the fat type used in the chocolate products.
