Antioxidants in baked

Antioxidants in baked goods It can be concluded that the use of tocopherols and its blends with other secondary natural antioxidants is a very effective method for protecting the fats and oils present in baking goods towards autoxidation and avoid rancidity in the final product. As it can be seen in Table 1, the addition of synergic antioxidants, such as the flavonoids present in green tea extract, ascorbyl palmitate, produced a significant increase in the stability of the oil, even higher than that produces by a tocopherol rich extract. A second experiment was performed on pretzel dough, using the RapidOxy method. The principle of this technique lies in the artificial acceleration of the oxidation process by increasing the temperature and oxygen pressure, which is in contact with the sample in a sealed chamber. This method allows us to measure the oxidation of solid products, such as this case. References 1. Amaia Arranz-Otaegui, Lara Gonzalez Carretero, Monica N. Ramsey, Dorian Q.

Oil and fats Photo © : AdobeStock/anaumenko Valuable fats Virgin coconut oil and MCT oil: effective energy suppliers The coconut is a real all-rounder: the nectar of its flowers yields valuable coconut sugar, whilst refreshing coconut water is obtained from green and unripe coconuts. Coconut milk is a prized vegan and lactose-free milk substitute and the fatty flesh of the coconut is used to make many pro ducts besides milk, such as high-quality virgin coconut oil and special MCT oil. These oils are particularly valuable for their medium-chain fatty acids, since this makes them important suppliers of energy. Import Promotion Desk (IPD) supports Sri Lankan producers of virgin coconut oil and MCT oil and accompanies them to the European market. Special fatty acids Once the coconut is cracked, the inside comes to light. If the coconut is ripe this consists mainly of fruit flesh, with very little coconut water left. The white flesh tastes sweet and slightly nutty. It contains a mix of minerals, such as potassium, sodium, iron and magnesium, plenty of fibre and few carbohydrates. Also, the wide variety of vitamins in the flesh, including vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 and E should be highlighted. In addition, coconut flesh is high in fat and calories: it has a fat content of 36.5 grams per 100 grams. It contains mainly saturated fatty acids, that means medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). These fatty acids of medium-chain length, i. e. of six to twelve carbon atoms, can be split up and digested more easily than the usual dietary fats with long-chain fatty acids. Therefore, the body can convert them into energy more quickly, making them very effective energy suppliers. Example: lauric acid One of these medium-chain fatty acids is lauric acid. It was named after “Laurus nobilis“, the Latin name for laurel, and the oil of the laurel consists largely of lauric acid. Cold-pressed coconut oil is also known for its high level of lauric acid, which is said to have an antiviral and antibacterial effect, protect against infections and be good No. 1 April/May 2022 43
