Evaluation of thermal behavior and chromatographic characterization of oil extracted from seed of Pittosporum undulatum

Abstract

The composition of the oil extracted from sweet pittosporum was studied by chromatography analyses. The sweet pittosporum (Pittosporum undulatum) is native to eastern parts of Australia. It is a tree growing to 15 m tall with wavy (undulating) leaf edges and also has attractive fragrant flowers, sweet pittosporum and is found in southern Brazil. The chromatographic profile of this oil reveals a predominance of unsaturated fatty acids, in particular, 28.86% of cis-11-eicosenoic acid (C20:1), 31.44% of eicosatrienoic acid (C20:3n3), 6.61% of docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n3) and 24.32% of oleic acid (C18:1n9). This oil was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), from 100 to-80°C and subsequently heated from-80°C up to 100°C, both at cooling/heating rate of 1 and 10°C min-1. Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) in nitrogen and oxygen purge gases under different heating rates show oil stability. The analysis carried out by DSC indicates that this oil has two crystallization peaks under cooling condition. Simultaneous TG-DTA curves show that the behavior of this oil shows variation among the heating rates, with a sudden combustion. The kinetic behavior showed the relationship between the uses of two sample masses, with good parameter and high correlation coefficients (r).

A Metabolomics and Molecular Networking Approach to Elucidate the Structures of Secondary Metabolites Produced by Serratia marcescens Strains

“…However, the majority of the glucosamine derivative compounds were obtained in low quantities and could thus not be subjected to NMR analysis. A cis configuration was thus proposed for the double bonds in the fatty acid chain of the various unknown compounds, as the geometric isomerism of a double bond is typically a cis configuration in natural fatty acids ( Kobelnik et al, 2018 ). Therefore, we propose that 7 , 15 , and 17 were novel glucosamine derivative homologues comprised of a glucose residue linked to butyric acyl, coupled to a valine residue linked to an unsaturated C 14:1 , C 16:2 , C 17:1 fatty acyl chain, respectively ( Figure 5 ).…”

A Comprehensive Review of Chemistry, Sources and Bioavailability of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

“…(11 Z ,14 Z ,17 Z )-Icosa-11,14,17-trienoic acid (eicosatrienoic acid), sometimes named homo- alpha -linolenic acid, rarely occurs in animal sources—hen egg yolk contains this acid in the amount of only 0.15 – 0.16% of total lipids [ 101 ]. Much more was found in Torreya grandis kernel oil (6.78–8.73% of total FAs) [ 96 ] and cork Phellodendron lavalei seeds [15.5% of free fatty acids (FFAs)] [ 98 ], but the largest amount is contained in Pittosporum undulatum seed oil (31.44% of total FAs) [ 97 ].…”

Effects of Aromatic Herb Flavoring on Carotenoids and Volatile Compounds in Edible Oil From Blue Sweet Lupin (Lupinus angustifolius)

“…Previous authors have focused on the fatty acid and phospholipid compositions . Only few researchers have investigated the physicochemical properties, e.g., peroxide value, acidity, viscosity, etc., of lupin oil obtained on a lab‐scale level …”
