Short-Term in Vivo Digestibility of Triglyceride Polymers, Dimers, and Monomers of Thermoxidized Palm Olein Used in Deep-Frying
文摘
Palm olein used to fry potatoes 40 and 90 times was tested in a short-term in vivo digestibilityexperiment. Total alteration, expressed as polar content, reached 26.4 g/100 g of olein, and theamount of triglyceride polymers, triglyceride dimers, and oxidized triglycerides increased severalfold,as a result of repeated frying use of the olein. True digestibility of used and unused whole palmolein and that of the nonoxidized triglycerides and different polar compounds was tested after 1 gof palm olein/100 g of body weight was administered to young adult Wistar rats by means of anesophageal probe. Luminal fat was obtained 4 h later, and its polar and nonpolar fractions wereseparated and quantified using column chromatography. Thermoxidized and hydrolytic compoundswere quantified by high-performance size exclusion chromatography and compared to the compoundsadministered. The true digestibility coefficient of palm olein used in frying 90 times was 30% lowerthan that of unused palm olein. True digestibility of triglyceride polymers and dimers of unusedpalm olein was quite high (>50%). After 90 uses, digestibility of dimers was significantly lower (p< 0.01), being ~30%. Nonoxidized triglyceride hydrolysis was negatively affected by the presenceof large amounts of thermoxidized compounds. The amount of monoglycerides and free fatty acidsfound in the luminal fat also decreased as a consequence of the arrest of pancreatic lipase activityby thermoxidized compounds formed through repeated frying.Keywords: Column chromatography; deep-frying; digestibility; HPSEC; in vivo; oxidized triglycerides; palm olein; polymers; rats
