Abstract
Volatile compounds formed by oxidation of rapeseed oil at 60 °C in open beakers were studied as a function of time over 289 h. A direct inlet gas-phase FT-IR method was introduced and compounds indicating lipid oxidation were detected and quantified. The development of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, 2,4-hexadienal, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, acetic acid, methyl cyclopentane, methyl hexanoate, n-butanal, n-hexanal, n-octanal, n-propanal, and trans, trans-2,4-heptadienal was followed. The results showed that gas-phase FT-IR is a potential method of fast analysis for monitoring oil quality. Headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) was used for compound identification.
