Fatty acid composition and content, main minor components, oxidative induction period and shelf life of high-oleic peanut oil and normal-oleic peanut oil were compared. The results indicated that the contents of oleic acid and phytosterol, oxidative induction period and shelf life of high-oleic peanut oil increased by 28.03 percentage point, 164.57 mg/100 g, 27.27 h and 4.09 a respectively comparing with normal-oleic peanut oil. α-tocopherol and γ-tocophperol were detected in both peanut oils and their contents showed significant differences (P<0.05), but the total contents of tocopherols had no remarkable difference between them. Therefore, high-oleic peanut oil had higher nutritional value and better oxidative stability than normal-oleic peanut oil, which was a kind of high quality edible oil with market potential and competitiveness. |
