Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The nutrition and safety of oil and fat are currently a social focus. Oil or fat is an important part of our diet, which is a significant source of fatty acids and various trace functional components. Oil or fat plays a vital role in regulating human health. The components in oil or fat are closely related to our nutritional health. Oil and fat nutrition is a priority research area of lipid science.

Moderate processing is the development direction of oil engineering research. Moderate processing not only ensures the safety of oil, but also reduces the loss of healthy and beneficial fat concomitants. Future oil and fat will not only provide basic nutrition, but also give specific health functions to people.

For this reason, this Special Issue of Foods is focused on the nutrition and safety of oil and fat due to advanced technologies, special equipment or new cognitions.

Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene), a naturally occurring polyphenol that is widely utilized in functional food due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-aging properties. In the present study, the antioxidant capacity and oxidation products of resveratrol in soybean oil were investigated. The antioxidant activity of resveratrol was evaluated by employing various in vitro antioxidant assays such as DPPH scavenging activities, ferric reducing abilities (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Furthermore, monitoring the peroxide value and the acid value of soybean oil with the addition of 200–1000 μg/g of resveratrol at 60 and 180 °C. It was found that when the concentration of resveratrol in soybean oil was 600 µg/g, the antioxidant capacity was most effective. Resveratrol and its thermal degradation products were identified using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). There were seven nonvolatile oxidation products with mass-to-charge ratios of 138.03, 171.04, 185.10, 157.03, 436.13, 244.07 and 306.09 kg/C and two volatile oxidation products with mass-to-charge ratios of 100.05 and 158.13 kg/C were identified. The research findings may provide essential information for the development of resveratrol as functional oils in future. Full article
