Lipid oxidation
 Oxidative
deterioration of lipids containing any
number of carbon-carbon double bonds
 Produces various primary and secondary byproducts
 Undesirable flavors
 Toxic products during storage
 Quality deterioration
 Change in nutrition, taste, texture, appearance
 Shorten the shelf life of product
 Limit the use as beneficial lipid in functional foods
 Oxidized
foods can cause oxidative stress in
biological systems and cause diseases
Oxidation of unsaturated lipids
Oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in their structures
Photoxidation
Autoxidation
Enzyme -catalysed
oxidation
oxidation caused by the action of
light
Oxidation that occurs in open air or
in presence of oxygen (and
sometimes UV radiation) and
forms peroxides
and hydroperoxides
An oxidative enzyme is
catalyses oxidation reaction.
peroxidases, which use hydrogen
peroxide, and oxidases, which use
molecular oxygen
Singlet oxygen is involved
Require sensitizers
Free Radical Chain-reaction
Cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase
catalyze the reactions between
oxygen and polyunsaturated fatty
acids
Mechanism of lipid oxidation
• The overall mechanism of lipid oxidation consists of three phases
Initiation
• Fatty acid radical is produced. Initiators are reactive
oxygen species (ROS), e.g OH· Forms H2O + fatty acid
radical
Propagation
• The fatty acid radical is unstable It reacts readily with O2
& creates a peroxyl-fatty acid radical. This is unstable ∴
reacts with another FFA A different fatty acid radical is
produced Cycle continues
Termination
• Radical reaction stops when two radicals react and
produce a non-radical species. This happens when
radical concentration is high
• Initiation:
RH + O2 -->R· + ·OH
R· + O2 --> · + ROO·
• Propagation:
ROO· + RH --> R· + ROOH
ROOH--> RO· + HO·
• Termination:
R· + R· --> RR
R· + ROO·--> ROOR
ROO· + ROO· --> ROOR + O2

RH is any unsaturated fatty acid;
◦ R· is a free radical formed by removing a labile
hydrogen from a carbon atom adjacent to a double
bond;

ROOH is a hydroperoxide, one of the major
initial oxidation products that decompose to
form compounds responsible for off-flavors and
odors.
◦ Such secondary products include hexanal, pentanal,
and malonaldehyde.
Unsaturated lipids include fatty acids and
their derivatives (including tri-, di-, and
monoglycerides, and phospholipids), as well
as other compounds such as sphingolipids,
sterol lipids, and saccharolipids
 The important lipids involved in oxidation
are the unsaturated fatty acid moieties, oleic,
linoleic, and linolenic
 The rate of oxidation of these fatty acids
increases with the degree of unsaturation.
 Oleic –
1 times rate
 Linoleic – 10 times
 Linolenic – 100 times

• Exert stabilizing and

Interfacial membrane
 Interfacial layers depands on:
 Quantities of material absorbed
 Composition and structure of that material
 Interfacial layer formed by emulsifier or protein
or combination of both, present b/w lipid
substrate enhance
 Stability of emulsion
 Provide physical barrier against pro-oxidant
penetration and diffusion
 Higher the interfacial membrane thickening,
higher the physical barrier and slower the lipid
oxidation

Water-in-oil emulsion the oxidative rate of lipid is similar to
that in the bulk oil phase
Oxidation of lipid in oil-in-water emulsion is different from
the bulk oil phase
Many unabsorptive emulsifier molecules exist in aqueous
solution form micelles and increase the emulsion stability by
dissolving

Antioxidant, and
Prooxidant
Oxidative stability of oil-in-water emulsions containing
different emulsifiers increased in the order:
Whey protein isolate >lecithin >mono-/ diacylglycerols>
Tween 20>sucrose fatty acid ester.

Diffusion of oxygen
Rate-limiting step is the diffusion of
oxygen in water phase when the oxygen
concentration is low
 When oxygen concentration is high, the
diffusion rate of oxygen is faster than the
oxidation rate (Marcuse and Fredriksson, 1968; L¨ u et al.,

2008).

Decreasing oxygen concentration is
effective method to retard oxidation
Determination of autoxidation
Primary
oxidation
Secondary oxidation
 Hydroperoxide major initial lipid
peroxidation reaction product
 Undergo both enzymatic and non
enzymatic degradation
 Produce secondary products
 The assay for hydroperoxides is the most
direct measure of lipid peroxidation
Primary product determination
tests
Peroxide value test
 Peroxide value directly measures the concentration
of hydroperoxides formed in the initial stage
 Sodium thiosulfate titrate iodine produced from a
reaction of lipid peroxide and potassium iodine. Thus
the content of peroxide can be calculated directly by
titration of iodine produced
 ROOH+2H++2KI−→ROH+I2+2K++H2O
Drawbacks
 Susceptibility toward background reactions
 Absorption of iodine by unsaturated fatty acids
 Underestimation of the peroxide value
 Oxygen error leads to high PV levels
Iron Thiocyanate Method
Spectrophotometric method
 Ability of peroxides to oxidize ferrous
ions to ferric ion
 Fe2++2H++O→Fe3++H2O
 Simple and easy method to master
Drawback
 Sensitive to oxygen in the solution, which
will disturb the measure

Conjugated dienes value
Conjugated dienes are produced during the
refining process of oil or autoxidation
 Strong characteristic UV absorption at 234 nm
 Indicators of free radical production
 Study pure lipid autoxidation only
Drawback
 Unsuitable for determination of lipid containing
high proportion of saturated fatty acid
 Reflect only the extent of lipid autoxidation at an
early stage

Active oxygen method
AOM value
 Number of hours required for the peroxide
concentration to reach 100 meq/kg of lipid.
 The more stable the lipid, the longer it will take
to reach that level
 Predicts the stability of lipid by bubbling air
through a solution of the lipid
Drawbacks
 Costly
 Time-consuming
 Stable lipid may require 48 h or more before
reaching the required peroxide concentration
High Performance Liquid
Chromatograph (HPLC)
Separation of a sample into its constituent
parts because of the difference in the
relative affinities of different molecules for
the mobile phase and the stationary phase
used in the separation
 Hydroperoxide with different volatility,
different molecular weight, or different
polarity
 Determine lipid peroxide present

Determination of Secondary
Products
Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substance (TBARS) Test
 Two molecular TBAs react with malondialdehyde (MDA)
originated from oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids
result in red color which can be measured using a
spectrophotometer
 The solution takes on yellow when it reacts with the other
aldehyde under acid condition.
 TBA can form an adduct not only with MDA but also with
other oxidized products, the method is also called
thioharhituric acid reactive substances (TRARS) test
Drawback
 Only fatty acid containing three or more double bonds can
produce enough substrate to react with TBA
Anisidine Value (AnV) Test
Nonvolatile reaction product can be
measured by reaction with anisidine.
 High anisidine values may be a hint that lipid
has oxidized
 The technique is convenient when applied to
oils and edible fats
Drawback
 When lipids are extracted from a product, a
correction for the product’s own
absorbance may be a source of error in AnV
determination
