Abstract This

study

evaluated

the

antioxidant

activity

of

vegetable

oils

using

35

photochemiluminescence based assay. The following oils were selected for the study - palm

36

oil (PO); olive oil (OLO); sunflower oil (SNO); rice bran oil (RBO); sesame oil (SESO) and

37

linseed oil (LSO). The antioxidant activity of oils was reduced significantly when

38

unsaponifiable matter was removed from the oils. The rats fed unsaponifiable matter removed

39

vegetable oils showed significantly reduced antioxidant activity but no change in overall fatty

40

acid composition in serum lipids. Therefore the minor constituents in unsaponifiable matter

41

influences antioxidant activity exhibited by vegetable oils.

1. Introduction

67

Antioxidants play an important role in providing the stability to vegetable oils. As a

68

dietary component, they also play a vital role in reducing the oxidative stress in vivo. Dietary

69

polyunsaturated fatty acids play a significant role in maintaining serum lipids at desirable

70

levels. The polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid lower serum total and LDL

71

cholesterol. But excess intake of linoleic acid increases the vulnerability of LDL lipids to

72

peroxidation which initiates cascading events leading to foam cell formation and ultimately to

73

atherosclerotic plaques (Reena & Lokesh, 2011; Calder, 2012). Therefore the intake of

74

antioxidants along with PUFA rich diet is recommended to overcome the oxidative stress.

75

Minor constituents in unsaponifiable fractions of edible oils have drawn considerable

76

interest for their antioxidant and health-promoting effects. Rice bran oil contains oryzanol.

77

Sesame oil contains lignans such as sesamin and sesamolin. Palm oil contains β- carotene and

78

tocotrienols. Olive oil contains polyphenols. Most of the oils have tocopherol at different

79

levels. The contributions of these minor constituents in the oils on the antioxidant value in

80

biological systems has not been thoroughly studied. In the present study, the commercially

81

available oils and the oils whose minor constituents were removed by column

82

chromatography were fed to rats and its impact on antioxidant value in serum lipid were

83

measured in a chemiluminescense based assay using an Photochem (from Analytik Jena

84

AG, Germany) (Popov & Lewin, 1996; Barba et al, 2013; Sielicka, Malecka & Purlan,

85

2014).This system has high sensitivity and requires less time (< 3minutes/sample) for

86

analysis. Each analysis requires few microliters of the sample and the antioxidant value can

87

be quantified in nanomolar range.

2.0 Material & Methods

90

2.1 Materials

91

Different vegetable oils such as palm oil (PO), olive oil (OLO), sunflower oil (SNO),

92

rice bran oil (RBO), sesame oil (SESO), linseed oil (LSO) were procured from a local super

93

market in Mysore, India. Kits for determination of Antioxidant capacity of lipid-soluble

94

substances (ACL) by photochemiluminescence (PCL) assay were purchased from Analytik

95

Jena AG (Jena, Germany). Oryzanol (>99% purity) was a gift from Amohusu Chemical

96

Industries Inc, Tokyo, Japan. Sesamolin was prepared in the laboratory according to the

97

method of Hemalatha & Ghaforunissa (2004). Tertiary butylated hydroxyl quinone (TBHQ),

98

butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA), α-tocopherol, 3

99

tocotrienol, BF3 in methanol, gallic acid, β-carotene, thiobarbituric acid, 1,1,3,3,-tetraethoxy

100

propane, sesamol, sesamin and fatty acids were procured from Sigma Chemical Co. (St.

101

Louis, MO, U.S.A.). All other chemicals and solvents (analytical grade) were purchased from

102

Sisco Research Laboratories Ltd (Mumbai, India).

103 104

2.2 Methods

105

2.2.1 Evaluation of total antioxidant value of commercial edible oils

106

Selected oils were evaluated for total antioxidant value by photochemiluminescence

107

(PCL) assay using Photochem (Analytica Jena AG, Germany) (Sielicka, Malecka & Purlan,

108

2014). The antioxidant values of the samples were determined as per the instructions

109

provided by the manufacturer and results are expressed in terms of trolox equivalents.

110 111

2.2.2 Fatty acid composition

112

Fatty acid composition of oils and serum lipids were analyzed by Gas

113

chromatography (Fisons, fitted with a flame ionization detector [FID]) using the method

114

described by Morrison & Smith (1964). The fatty acid methyl esters prepared using 14% BF3

115

in methanol were separated on a fused silica capillary column (25 m × 0.25 mm, Parma bond

116

FFAP-DF-0.25, Machery Negal GmbH Co., Duren, Germany). Individual fatty acid was

117

identified by comparing with the retention times of standards (Reena and Lokesh, 2011).

118 119 120 121

2.2.3 Unsaponifiable matter of oils The unsaponifiable matter in oils was measured according to the AOCS official method (1998).

122 123

2.2.4 Estimation of minor constituents in oils

124

Tocopherol and tocotrienols in oils were determined according to the method of

125

Rogers et al. (1993). Shimadzu LC-10A (Shimadzu Corporation, Tokyo Japan) HPLC fitted

126

with C18 column (250mm  4.6 mm length, 5 µm Supleco, USA) and fluorescence detector

127

was used for separating isomers of tocopherols and tocotrienols. The mobile phase consisted

128

of acetonitrile /methanol/isopropanol/ water (48:45:5:2) and run in isocratic condition at a

129

flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Individual tocopherols were identified and quantified with respective

130

standard tocopherols. Tocotrienols were identified by the elution pattern of palm oil

131

tocotrienols and quantified according to AOCS method (AOCS, 1998). 4

132

The oryzanol content in RBO was determined by HPLC method. Shimadzu LC 20A

133

system with Phenomenex develosil column (250mm4.6mm, 5µm i.d) and photodiode array

134

detector was used for analysis. Following conditions were used for the separation of oryzanol

135

components (Wavelength 325nm: mobile phase acetonitrile:methanol:isopropylalcohol

136

(10:9:1 v/v/v): flow rate 1mL/min (Gopala Krishna et al, 2001). -oryzanol (>99% purity)

137

obtained as gift from Amohusu Chemical Industries Inc, Tokyo, Japan was used as standard

138

for quantification.

139 140

Sesamol, sesamin and sesamolin in oils was estimated by HPLC using Phenomenex

141

C18 column of 250 × 4.60 mm, 5 micron particle size. The mobile phase was 70:30 (v/v)

142

methanol: water and individual peaks were analysed at 295nm using UV detector

143

(Amarowicz, Shahidi, & Pegg, 2001).

144 145

The phenolic compounds were extracted from oils using liquid–liquid extraction

146

according to Taga, Miller & Pratt (1984). The concentration of total phenols in the

147

methanolic extract was estimated with Folin-Ciocalteau reagent. Gallic acid (0.05- 0.4

148

mg/ml) was used as reference standard.

149 150

β-carotene in oil samples were quantified using an HPLC system (LC- 10 A,

151

Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with photodiode array (PDA) detector (SPD- M 20A,

152

Shimadzu). β- carotene was separated on a C-30 (ODS) column (250mm× 4.6 mm i.d., 5-μm

153

particle size; Princeton, SPHE Germany) by isocratically eluting with acetonitrile–

154

dichloromethane–methanol (60:20:20, v/v/v) containing 0.1% ammonium acetate as a mobile

155

phase (Raju et al., 2007). Carotenoids were quantified using the standard curve generated

156

with reference standards of β-carotene (2-10 µg).

157 158

2.2.5 Preparation of minor constituents removed oils

159

The minor components in unsaponifiable fractions of PO, OLO, SNO, RBO, SESO

160

and LSO were removed according to the method of Cardenia et al (2011). The oils that were

161

stripped of minor constituents was aliquoted into brown glass bottles, flushed with nitrogen,

162

and stored at -20C until use.

163 164 5

165

2.2.6 Total antioxidant value of oils

166

10 mg of oil was dissolved in 3ml of hexane. 30 μl of aliquots were used for analysis.

167

The antioxidant values of the samples were determined by PCL as per the instructions

168

provided by the manufacturers of the instrument (Photochem®, Analytik Jena, Germany) and

169

results are expressed in terms of trolox equivalents (Sielicka, Malecka & Purlan, 2014).

170 171

. 2.2.7 Animal experiments

172

Male Wistar rats [OUBT-Wistar, IND-cft (2c)] (Rattus norvegicus) weighing 200 g

173

were grouped (six rats in each group) by random distribution and housed in individual cages,

174

under a 12 h light/dark cycle, in an approved animal house facility at the Central Food

175

Technological Research Institute in Mysore, India. The rats were fed standard rodent pellets

176

for 15 days (Sai Durga Feeds, Bangalore). The rats had free access to food and water

177

throughout the study. In addition, the rats were administered 1 mL of native or unsaponifiable

178

fractions removed oils (PO, OLO, SNO, RBO, SESO and LSO) by gavage once a day at 10

179

AM for 15 days. After 15 days of feeding, rats were fasted overnight and sacrificed by ether

180

anesthesia. Blood was drawn by cardiac puncture and serum was separated by centrifugation

181

at 1,100 g for 30 min. The experimental protocol for these studies was approved by the

182

Institutional Animal Ethics Committee recognized by the Government of India.

183 184

2.2.8 Total antioxidant activity in serum

185

Total lipid was extracted from serum using the method of Bligh & Dyer (1959). Total

186

lipid present in serum was in the range of 1.9 to 2.1mg/mL of serum. Serum lipid was

187

dissolved with 200 µl of hexane and 30μl aliquots were taken for measuring antioxidant

188

activity. The antioxidant values of the samples were determined as per the instructions

189

provided by the manufacturers of the instrument (Photochem®, Analytik Jena, Germany) and

190

results are expressed in terms of trolox equivalents.

191 192

2.2.9 Serum lipid peroxides in rats given native or minor constituents removed oils

193

Lipid peroxides in the serum was measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substance

194

following the method described by Ledwozyw et al (1986). The serum lipid peroxides were

195

expressed as nmol malondialdehyde/dL.

196 197 6

198

2.2.10 Statistical analysis

199

Results are represented as means ± standard deviation for each group. The data was

200

analyzed by one way ANOVA followed by a post hoc Tukey test to compare the control and

201

treatment groups; p-values less than 0.01 were considered as statistically significant. All

202

statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software package version 17.0.

203 204

3. Results & Discussion

205

3.1. Total antioxidant activity of synthetic and natural antioxidants

206

A typical response of photochemiluminescence in the presence of different

207

concentrations of trolox standard is shown in fig 1a. As the concentration of trolox was

208

increased there is an increase in lag phase, and a change in the rate and extent of quenching

209

of signals was observed. A standard curve was generated from this and used for measuring

210

trolox equivalents of experimental samples (Fig 1b). The duration of the lag phase is

211

determined by the inflection point and subsequently, the slope (tangent) at the inflection point

212

was calculated. The intersection point of the tangent through the inflection point with the x-

213

axis defines the duration of the lag time. The difference in the lag time of the sample and the

214

lag time of the blank values was calculated (Barba et al, 2013; Sielicka, Malecka & Purlan,

215

2014).

216

The total antioxidant activity measured by this system and expressed in μg of trolox

217

equivalent/mg were as follows: TBHQ (1227); BHT (728); BHA (790); α-tocopherol (348);

218

tocotrienol (282); β-carotene (369), -oryzanol(195), sesamin (128) and sesamolin (119).

219 220

3.2 Total antioxidant activity of vegetable oils

221

The total antioxidant value of vegetable oils before and after the removal of minor

222

constituents was evaluated. The total antioxidant value of PO, OLO, SNO, RBO, SESO and

223

LSO expressed in terms of µg of trolox equivalent/mg oil were 79, 111, 34, 130, 122 and 61

224

respectively. When the minor constituents were removed from these oils and tested for

225

antioxidant activity, the values observed (µg trolox equivalent/mg oil) for PO, OLO, SNO,

226

RBO, SESO and LSO were 10.4, 12.7, 9.2, 13.2, 14.3 and 10.3 respectively. Thus oils lost

227

much of their antioxidant activity when unsaponifiable matter was removed.

228

We quantitated some of the minor constituents present in unsaponifiable fractions of

229

oils which are associated with the antioxidant activities. RBO contained oryzanol comprising

230

of (in mg/100g oil) methyl ferulate (228), cycloartenyl ferulate (105), 24 methylene 7

231

cycloartenyl ferulate (492), Campesteryl ferulate (375) and β-sitosteryl ferulate (186). The

232

lignans present in SESO comprised of (in mg/100g oil) sesamin (91.8), sesamolin (147.6) and

233

sesamol (0.82). β-carotene was present to an extent of 41.8mg/100g oil in PO (Table 1).

234

Isomers of tocopherols and tocotrienols present in vegetable oils understudy is shown in

235

Table 1. The content of unsaponifiable matter in PO, SNO, OLO, LSO, SESO and RBO were

236

0.9%, 0.7%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 2.1% and 4.5% respectively. The residual unsaponifiable matter

237

remaining in the oils (PO, SNO, OLO, LSO, SESO and RBO) after passing it through the

238

columns (as described in methods) were 0.1%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.3%

239

respectively. More than 90-95% of unsaponifiable fraction was thus removed from the oil

240

which also stripped minor constituents of oils. However removal of unsaponifiable fraction

241

did not alter the fatty acid composition of oils (data not shown).

242 243

3.3. Total antioxidant activity of serum lipid in rats given native or minor constituent

244

removed oils

245

There was no significant difference in the total lipid observed in serum of rats given

246

native oil or the minor constituent removed oil (1.8-2.1mg/mL). We observed that the

247

removal of unsaponifiable fractions from oils resulted in diminished antioxidant activity

248

exhibited by the oil. In order to evaluate whether removal of minor constituents present in

249

unsaponifiable fractions oils has any impact on the antioxidant activity in vivo, we fed the

250

rats with native and minor constituents removed oils for 15 days. The antioxidant status of

251

rats given minor constituent removed oils was significantly lowered. The total antioxidant

252

activity of serum lipid was reduced by 30% and by 71% in rats given SNO and LSO which

253

were stripped of minor constituents. The total antioxidant activity of serum lipid was reduced

254

by 83 -87% when PO, OLO, RBO or SESO which were stripped of minor constituents were

255

given to rats (Table 2). Thus minor constituents present in PO, OLO, RBO or SESO has

256

greater influence on total antioxidant activity in serum lipid. This also reflected on lipid

257

peroxide levels in serum. When rats were given minor constituents removed oils the lipid

258

peroxide levels were increased by 17- 61% as compared to those given respective native oils

259

(Table 2). However the fatty acid composition of serum lipids remained same in rats given

260

individual native or minor constituents removed oils (Table3). These studies thus indicate

261

that minor constituents in oils had significant influence on antioxidant status but not on the

262

overall fatty acid composition of serum lipids. Interestingly, we also observed that the rats

263

given LSO which was stripped of unsaponifiable matter consistently showed a small but a 8

264

significant increase in long chain omega-3 fatty acids 20:5 n-3 and 22:6 n-3 PUFA as

265

compared to those given LSO containing minor constituents (Table 3). This needs to be

266

further evaluated.

267 268

The dietary lipids are known to have a significant effect on the fatty acid composition

269

of serum lipids, tissue lipids and that of red blood cells. However it is not known whether the

270

endogenous antioxidants/minor constituents associated with oils have any influence on the

271

antioxidant status as well as fatty acid composition of serum and tissue lipids. Our present

272

studies indicated that the components present in unsaponifiable fractions of oils have a

273

significant effect on total antioxidant status in vivo. However, the fatty acid composition of

274

serum lipids were not different when oils with or without the presence of unsaponifiable

275

components were fed to rats.

276 277

In summary, photochemiluminescence based assay is a rapid and sensitive method to

278

study the effect of minor constituents in oils on antioxidant status in vivo. The antioxidant

279

values in serum lipid were significantly lowered when unsaponifiable fractions removed oils

280

were fed to rats as compared to those given native oils. However, removal of the

281

unsaponifiable fraction components from oils had no effect on the fatty acid composition of

282

serum lipids. Therefore while studying the effect of dietary lipids on antioxidant status in

283

experimental systems; one should also consider the contributions of endogenous compounds

284

present in unsaponifiable fractions of oils.

Highlights 

Photochemiluminescence assay was used for measuring total antioxidant activity of oils



Minor constituent removed oils significantly reduced antioxidant activity in rat serum



Minor constituent removed oils did not affect overall fatty acid composition of serum lipids
