Thermal oxidative stability of various vegetable oils used for the preparation of the seasoned laver pyropia spp

초록

Seasoned laver Pyropia spp. is a traditional Korean seafood that has gained popularity worldwide because of its unique taste, texture, and health benefits. It is prepared by roasting a sheet of dried laver, to which vegetable oils have been applied, at an ultra-high temperature (UHT) of 300°C. Therefore, the oxidative stability of the oils is the most important factor in determining the shelf life of seasoned laver products. In this study, we investigated changes in the thermal oxidative stability of six major vegetable oils (sesame, perilla, sunflower, rice bran, canola, and olive) during the seasoned laver processing. The oxidation induction time of each oil from the seasoned laver products was decreased compared with the fresh oil. These results indicate that the UHT treatment (300°C, 10 s) induced thermal oxidation of the oils. Among the six seasoned laver oils, the induction times of olive (OL, 8.02 h) and sesame (SE, 5.31 h) oils were significantly higher than the other oils. The acid values (AVs) of OL and SE oils from the seasoned laver were 0.49 and 0.79, respectively. On the other hand, perilla oil had the overall worst thermal oxidative properties (induction time: 0.35 h, AV: 2.82). Our results provide useful information about seasoned laver products for researchers or manufactures. © 2015 The Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Science.
