Abstract A study on the commercial virgin coconut oil (VCO) available in Malaysian and Indonesian market was conducted. The paper reported chemical characteristics fatty acid composition of VCO. There no significant difference lauric content (46.64–48.03%) among VCO samples. major triacylglycerols obtained for oils were LaLaLa, LaLaM, CLaLa, LaMM CCLa (La, lauric; C, capric; M, myristic). Iodine value ranged from 4.47 to 8.55, indicative only few unsaturated bond presence. Saponification...
The antioxidant properties of virgin coconut oil produced through chilling and fermentation were investigated compared with refined, bleached deodorized oil. Virgin showed better capacity than the method had strongest scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl highest activity based β-carotene–linoleate bleaching method. However, obtained reducing power. major phenolic acids detected ferulic acid p-coumaric acid. Very high correlations found between total content (r=0.91), power...
Ice crystal formation is of primary concern to the frozen food industry. In this study, effects antifreeze peptides (AFPs) on ice were assessed in carrot during freezing and thawing. Three synthetic analogues based naturally occurring used study. The AFPs exhibited modification morphology, confirming their activity vitro. ability minimize drip loss preserve color, structure, texture, volatiles was evaluated using techniques SEM, GC-MS, texture analysis. results prove potential these above...
