Abstract

This work evaluated the strategies to increase the oxidative stability and the potential health benefits of Brassica napus L. var. oleifera (rapeseed) oil enriched with natural compounds. The effect of storage, light, and heating on the oxidative stability of rapeseed oil was compared with olive oil. Oxidative stability was assessed by using Rancimat and thiobarbituric acid reactive-substances assay (TBARS) production. Different concentrations of individual phenol compounds, extracts, and vegetable powders were added to the cold-pressed rapeseed oil. The most positive effects were observed with addition of freeze dried powders. The rapeseed oil chemical profile was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the antioxidant effects of rapeseed oil fortified with vegetable powders were investigated with different in vitro assays. Results suggested that beetroot, carrot, tomato, and swede can offer effective alternatives or adjuncts to synthetic antioxidants during frying and storage of rapeseed oil. Practical applications: Brassica napus L. var. oleifera (rapeseed) oil is one of the most consumed oil. In this study, we evaluated the possible approaches to increase rapeseed oil oxidative stability and potential health benefits by using different natural products (beetroot, broccoli, carrot, celery, green pea, onion, red pepper, spinach, swede, tomato, and yellow pea). Results clearly showed that natural products may increase the stability of rapeseed oil, particularly when within a matrix rather than as an extract or pure compound. These evidences are significant for both consumers and oil industry. Rapeseed oil oxidative stability is investigated. Rapeseed oil composition is determined by GC-MS. Increased antioxidant activity of rapeseed oil with powders supplementation is evidenced.
