Effects of High-Canolol Phenolic Extracts on Fragrant Rapeseed Oil Quality and Flavor Compounds during Frying

Abstract

Fragrant rapeseed oil (FRO) is a frying oil widely loved by consumers, but its quality deteriorates with increasing frying time. In this study, the effect of high-canolol phenolic extracts (HCP) on the physicochemical properties and flavor of FRO during frying was investigated. During frying, HCP significantly inhibited the increase in peroxide, acid, p-anisidine, and carbonyl values, as well as total polar compounds and degradation of unsaturated fatty acids. A total of 16 volatile flavor compounds that significantly contributed to the overall flavor of FRO were identified. HCP was effective in reducing the generation of off-flavors (hexanoic acid, nonanoic acid, etc.) and increased the level of pleasant deep-fried flavors (such as (E,E)-2,4-decadienal). Therefore, the application of HCP has a positive effect on protecting the quality and prolonging the usability of FRO.
