Abstract Introduction: Vegetable oils contain natural antioxidants and other properties reported to impart anti-diabetic properties when consumed, in animal study. In humans however, these oils are subjected to high temperatures during cooking before consumption. High temperature tends to affect the characteristic quality and potential to impart on health benefits such as antidiabetic properties. The objective of this work was to determine the characteristics quality of vegetable oils after thermal treatment that equates to temperatures oils are subjected to during food processing/cooking.Methodology: Three portions of 200g of each fresh unrefined red palm oil, coconut oil and groundnut oils in three conical flasks T1, T2 and T3 were heated to room temperature 28oC (T1) to 100o C in boiling water (T2) and to 200o C in electric cooker oven (T3) for 10 minutes. Acid, iodine, peroxide, saponification, unsaponification values of the oils, Phytoconstituents (Flavanoids, polyphenols saponins etc) and antioxidant (Vitamin A&C) and DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazyl) Radical Scavenging Activity were then determined after cooling to room temperature. Results: Coconut oil heated to 200˚C had the least Acid value of 2.89±0.135 whiles Palm oil heated to 100 ˚C had the highest value of 19.57±0.165. There were no peroxides formed in Coconut and Palm oils at 28 ˚C as well as Palm oil at 100 ˚C. However, peroxides were highest in Coconut oil at 200˚C with value of 15.28±2.315. Saponification value of groundnut oil at 28 ˚C was the least at 89.52 ± 2.18 and 296.57±1.045 the highest in coconut oil at 200 ˚C. Heating however increased the unsaponifiable matter in all the vegetable oils used. Total antioxidant capacity was not significantly changed across the temperature treatment. Total phenolic content was not significantly changed for palm oil but was significantly increased at 100C for coconut and groundnut oilsConclusion: The quality of the oils in terms of acid value, iodine vale, peroxide value and saponification value, total antioxidant and phenolic content were retained after one heat treatment. This implies the quality of the oils are maintained after a single heating. The oils may still retain antidiabetic property when consumed after processing.

Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) extract obtained using soxhlet extraction method with acetone as solvent has been used in the synthesis of Co (II) and Zn (II) metal complexes. The CNSL gave a molecular peak ion of 298g/mol-1 on a GC-MS, an indication that cardanol was more prominent than anacardic acid in the obtained extract. Physicochemical parameters such as saponification value (50.30 mgKOH/g), moisture content (5.10), iodine value (241.00 mgKOH/g), ash content (1.30) and pH (6.31) were equally obtained. The metal complexes of Co (II) and Zn (II) prepared with unmodified (UMCNSL) and aniline modified CNSL (AMCNSL) were characterized using UV-visible, FTIR, melting point and electrical conductivity. Some characteristic FTIR bands were observed for AMCNSL, UMCNCL, AMCNSL-ZnCl2.H2O (1612cm-1) and AMCNSL-CoCl2.6H2O (1612cm-1). The presence of C=N were confirmed in the metal complex of AMCNSL-ZnCl.H2O and AMCNSL-CoCl.6H2O but were not present in the UMCNSL-ZnCl.H2O and UMCNSL-CoCl.6H2O.

This research aimed to study the effect of solvents, namely n-hexane and ethanol, on the yield of crude rice bran oil extraction. The effects of extraction temperatures of 50, 60, and 70 ºC and extraction times of 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h were investigated. Rice bran composition was determined. It was found that protein, lipid, moisture, fiber, ash, and carbohydrate content were 12.65±0.56, 16.32±0.81, 7.65±0.62, 10.25±0.64, 6.38±0.59, and 46.75 %, respectively. From the results, the rice bran oil yield from n-hexane extraction was significantly higher than ethanol extraction, with p < 0.05. The maximum rice bran oil obtained from n-hexane extraction was 16.23±0.34 %. The highest yield of rice bran oil was obtained from extraction temperature of 60 - 70 ºC for 12 - 24 h. After extraction by the optimum conditions at 60 ºC for 12 h, the rice bran oil was kept for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 weeks for investigation of its quality changes. It can be concluded that the optimum conditions for rice bran oil extraction was with using n-hexane as a solvent for extraction at a temperature of 60 ºC for 12 h. Storing oil for 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks resulted in the increase of free fatty acids (FFA) and peroxide value, whereas iodine value and saponification value were relatively constant.

The chia seed samples were purchased from farmers in five locations in three agro-ecological zones in Kenya. The oil was obtained by cold pressing and physicochemical properties were determined; the fatty acid profile was determined by Gas chromatography. The mean oil yield from pressing was 16%, the refractive index of chia seed oil at 25 °C ranged from 1.4811 to 1.4832, specific gravity ranged from 0.9616 to 0.9629, acidity index and free fatty acids content ranged from 0.0345-0.0808 mg KOH/g oil, and 0.1736-0.4061%, respectively. The matter in volatiles ranged from 0.047-0.086%. The saponification value ranged from 162.1969–183.3791 milligrams (mg) of potassium hydroxide (KOH) per gram (g) of chia seed oil. The differences in refractive index, acidity index, free fatty acids, specific gravity, and saponification value, were statistically significant at (P<0.05). The α-linolenic (C18:3) and linoleic acids (C18:2) were the dominant fatty acids in chia seed oil and they varied with regions. The levels α-linolenic (C18:3) and linoleic acids (C18:2) ranged from 53.32-64.04% and 19.37-22.87%, respectively. The levels of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic fatty acids in chia seed oils from different regions were statistically significant at (P<0.05). The study recommended the cultivation of chia seed in agro-ecological zones II and III where higher yields and higher content of linoleic and linolenic fatty acids were reported, consumption of chia seed oil as edible oil, and substitution of marine oils with chia oil as potential sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
