| Popis: | This study aimed to compare the quality of crude palm oils (CPO) produced from different processing methods in Brazil: traditional (T-CPOE), little-mechanized (LM-CPOE) and semi-mechanized extraction (SM-CPOE). A total of 57 CPO samples were studied. The peroxide value (PV), total carotenoids (TC), oxidative stability index (OSI120), deterioration of bleachability index (DOBI), color (CIELab), total polar compounds (TPC) and its fractions, consisting of triacylglycerol polymers (TGP), dimers (TGD), oxidized monomers (oxTGM), diacylglycerols (DAG) and free fatty acids (FFA) were analyzed. Regardless of the extraction method, the PV, TC and OSI120 were found to be 3.1-7.6 meqO2/kg, 375-598 ppm, and 0.6-3.3 h, respectively. T-CPOE samples demonstrated superior quality based on DOBI and TPC. The TPC in the T-CPOE samples were significantly lower (8.7-9.6%) than in the other samples (11.9-18.5%). In all methods, the levels of compounds in the TPC fractions were DAG ≈ FFA > oxTGM > (TGP + TGD). Fruit selection and T-CPOE equipment played crucial roles in reducing oil degradation. |
