FA composition of cosmetic oils in combination with data concerning their oxidative quality, is very important for determining their safe and effective use. It is very important to standardize and test the FA content in commercially available oils of cosmetic use.
Plant oils are sources of unsaturated fatty acids (FA) and antioxidant compounds. Herbs, spices, and fruit seeds are potential source of oils which may be used as functional food and dietary supplements. FA profile and oxidative quality of oils (n = 28) were investigated by the chromatographic and titration methods. Peroxidability index (PI) was calculated and cluster analysis was performed. Differences in FA content show which of them is responsible for clusters allotment and also for similarities within each cluster. Oils from cluster S1 were characterized by high content of C18:2 n-6, whereas oils from cluster S2 by higher content of C16:1 and C18:1 n-9. Oils from S3 cluster were distinguished by higher amount of C18:3 n-3. A total of 4 of 17 FAs detected in all samples significantly differed among clusters. Novel oils may be an interesting functional food component, but detailed analysis is needed to confirm their applicability and human health influence.
La composición de ácidos grasos y las características de aceites comestibles innovadores en Polonia
RESUMENLos aceites vegetales son una fuente de ácidos grasos no saturados (FA) y compuestos antioxidantes. Las hierbas, las especies y las semillas de frutos son una fuente potencial de aceites que pueden ser utilizados como alimentos funcionales y suplementos alimentarios. Se investigaron el perfil de FA y la calidad oxidativa de los aceites (n = 28) mediante métodos de cromatografía y valoraciones. Se calculó el índice de peroxidabilidad (PI) y se realizó un análisis de conglomerados. Las diferencias en el contenido de FA mostraron aquellos que eran los responsables de la distribución de conglomerados aunque también de las similitudes en cada conglomerado. Los aceites del conglomerado S1 se caracterizaron por un alto contenido de C18:2 n-6, mientras que los aceites del conglomerado S2 por su mayor contenido de C16:1 y C18:1 n-9. Los aceites del conglomerado S3 se distinguieron por una mayor cantidad de C18:3 n-3. Cuatro de los 17 ácidos grasos que se detectaron en todas las muestras difirieron significativamente entre los conglomerados. los nuevos aceites podrían tratarse de un interesante componente alimentario funcional, sin embargo es necesario un análisis detallado para confirmar su aplicabilidad y su influencia en la salud humana.
