Effect of Roasting on the Chemical Composition and Oxidative Stability of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Seed Oil.
Foods (Basel, Switzerland)(2024)
Abstract
In this study, tomato seed (TS) samples were subjected to different roasting conditions (90-170 °C and 10-30 min) to compare their effects on the chemical composition and oxidative stability of tomato seed oil (TSO). Unroasted TS was considered as a control sample. Our results revealed that moderate roasting (130 °C/20 min) can significantly increase the content of linoleic acid (54.01-54.89%), linolenic acid (2.17-2.41%), phytosterols (2789.56-3037.31 mg/kg), squalene (5.06-13.10 mg/kg), total phenols (22.37-22.67 mg GAE/100 g), and other functional components (p < 0.05) in TSO, while the antioxidant activity (via DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays) also increased. In addition, the tocopherol content decreased significantly (758.53-729.50 mg/kg). Accelerated oxidation experiments showed that roasting (170 °C/30 min) increased the oxidative stability index (OSI) of TSO from 5.35 to 7.07 h (p < 0.05). Furthermore, roasting gradually increased the content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) (0-1.74 mg/kg), which indicates that the oxidative stability and the degree of the Maillard reaction increased upon roasting. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) showed that moderate roasting (130 °C/20 min) improved the chemical composition, antioxidant activity, and oxidative stability of TSO. Furthermore, this work provides a useful theoretical basis for the processing and wide application of TSO in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
