  • Title: Minor components in food oils: a critical review of their roles on lipid oxidation chemistry in bulk oils and emulsions.
    Author: Chen B, McClements DJ, Decker EA.
    Journal: Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr; 2011 Dec; 51(10):901-16. PubMed ID: 21955091.
    Abstract:
    Food oils are primarily composed of triacylglycerols (TAG), but they may also contain a variety of other minor constituents that influence their physical and chemical properties, including diacylglycerols (DAG), monoacylglycerols (MAG), free fatty acids (FFA), phospholipids (PLs), water, and minerals. This article reviews recent research on the impact of these minor components on lipid oxidation in bulk oils and oil-in-water emulsions. In particular, it highlights the origin of these minor components, the influence of oil refining on the type and concentration of minor components present, and potential physicochemical mechanisms by which these minor components impact lipid oxidation in bulk oils and emulsions. This knowledge is crucial for designing food, pharmaceutical, personal care, and other products with improved stability to lipid oxidation.
