Fatty Acid Analysis of Edible Oils

Abstract:

To research the characteristics of rice bran oil ( RBO) and identify RBO from vegetable oils,33 kinds of rice were collected from China, the fatty acids of rice bran oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, camellia oleosa seed oil were analyzed by Gas Chromatography, the contents were determinated by area normalization method. Fingerprint of RBO is bulid, the similarity of chromatographic fingerprint (SCF) is over 0.998, means that different RBO have the same fatty acid gas chromatographic fingerprint feature. The composition and content are different in the 7 vegetable oils ,that contribute to determinate the adulteration of inexpensive oils to RBO based on SCF. Main fatty acids in peanut oil are palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid. The characteristic fatty acid is behenic acid C22:0. Main fatty acids in soybean oil are palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid. Proportion of C18:3 is much higher than in RBO when C18:1 is lower obviously. Main fatty acids in cottonseed oil are palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid. Proportion of C16:0 is much higher than in RBO and C18:1 lower . Main fatty acids in palm oil are palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid. Decanoic acid C10:0 is one of the characteristic fatty acids ,and C16:0 is much higher than in RBO. Main fatty acids in rapeseed oil are palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, erucic acid.C22:1 is the characteristic fatty acid when little or zero in other oils. Main fatty acids in camellia oleosa seed oil are palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid.C18:1 is much higher than RBO.
