dc.descriptionFats and oils are an essential part of our diet, supplying nutrients, improving flavor, aiding in the absorption of vitamins, and providing concentrated sources of energy for our body. Oils are derived from oilseed and animal sources. There is a universal demand for vegetable oil due to its use in domestic cooking, as an ingredient for other food production (in baked goods and fried snack foods). Edible vegetable oils are “foodstuffs which are composed primarily of glycerides of fatty acids phospholipids, sterols, hydrocarbons, pigments, waxes, and vitamins being obtained only from vegetable sources. Oils and Fats can also have very negative effects on health (Robert et al., 2003). The quality of vegetable oil is a measure of identity and edibility. This is also related to the method of obtaining the oils from the vegetable source (i.e. whether it is virgin oil or cold pressed oil) both obtained without altering the nature of the oil, by mechanical procedures (e.g. expelling or pressing), and the application of heat only. The quality of the oil is determined by its composition, FFA (Free Fatty Acid) content, iodine value, peroxide value, melting point, etc (Agimark, 2002). Worldwide, natural vegetable oil and fats are increasingly becoming important in nutrition and commerce because they are sources of dietary energy, antioxidants, biofuels and raw material for the manufacture of industrial products. They are use in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and chemical industries (Fasin and Colley, 2008). Vegetable oils account for 80% of the world's natural oils and fat supply (FAO, 2007).en_US
dc.description.abstractIn this work, physicochemical parameters (moisture, refractive index, viscosity, color, free fatty acid, iodine value, peroxide value, and saponification value) of palm, mustard, soybean and bran oil were studied at room temperature and after heating at 180°C for various periods (10 min, 15 min and 20 min). There were slightly variation in physical parameters in moisture content, refractive index color, viscosity, iodine value and saponification value among four types of oils. Peroxide and acid value were increased in palm oil and mustard oil with the increase of frying time. Result showed that there was no significant difference between soybean oil and bran oil during frying time on free fatty acid value, acid value and peroxide value at 180°C. In sensory evaluation results also found that soybean oil and bran oil were more preferable to cooking than other two oils. These results indicated that palm oil and mustard oil were oxidized rapidly than other oil samples upon heating and become risk for human consumption.en_US
