Abstract

Effect of aw on rate of autoxidation of raw peanut oil at 37 degree C was studied. Up to 3 wk storage, no marked effect of aw on rate of peroxide formation was noticeable. However, with prolonged storage, rate of peroxide formation decreased rapidly at aw greater than0.67 as compared to aw less than0.50. At the end of 9 wk storage, peroxide value at aw 0.02-0.50 was 31-35, while it was only approx. 10 at 0.79 and 0.92 aw. There was no noticeable influence of aw on rate of free fatty acid formation. Oil stored for 7 wk at 0.02 and 0.11 aw had fresh flavour, although peroxide values were high; whereas oils at 0.79 and 0.92 aw were stale, although peroxide values were less than 10. Anisidine value at 0.02 aw (348) was higher than at 0.92 aw (62). Carbonyl values at 0.02 and 0.11 aw were also higher (1090, 1021) than at 0.79 and 0.92 aw (573, 780). Results indicate that the protective effect on oil against peroxide formation at high aw may be due to certain components present in raw peanut oil.
