Modern vegetable oils useful in food and cosmetics
Plachtová, Kateřina ; Mravcová, Ludmila (referee) ; Zemanová, Jana (advisor)
The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis was to make a literary research of currently most used vegetable oils in food technology, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals focusing on health benefits, possibilities of use. Two selected modern vegetable oils were specified that are currently a subject of research in respektive fields. The selected modern oils were carrot seed oil and raspberry seed oil. A literary recherche was drawn up dealing with these oils from the perspective of their composition, charakteristics, properties and use in food technology, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In the experimental part of the thesis the fatty characteristics of carrot seed oil and raspberry seed oil were determined: acid value, saponification value, ester number, iodine value, peroxide value. Also fatty acids present in the oils were identified and quantified using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector. Fatty acids were analysed as their methylesters. Derivatization was was performer by alkalic esterification using methanolic solution of potassium hydroxide. In conclusion, selected oils were compared in terms of fatty characteristics and fatty acid profiles. Fatty acid composition was also compared to fatty acid composition found in literature sources.
