This study was performed to evaluate the effects of sesame oil addition to a tuna oil-enriched emulsion during chlorophyll-photosensitized oxidation. The emulsion principally consisted of tocopherol-stripped canola and tuna oil with or without sesame oil, acetic acid, phospholipids, and xanthan gum. Chlorophyll b was added to promote the production of singlet oxygen upon exposure to light. The oxidation of oil in the emulsion was evaluated by determining the peroxide value (POV) and conjugated dienoic acid (CDA) contents. Concentrations of minor compounds in the emulsion were monitored. Increasing POV and CDA contents in the emulsion were paralleled with decreased docosahexaenoic acid during oxidation, and oxidation was inhibited by the addition of sesame oil. Chlorophyll, polyphenols, tocopherol, and phospholipids were degraded during oxidation of the emulsion; however, their degradation was slowed down by the addition of sesame oil. Lignans in the emulsions containing added sesame oil were barely changed, suggesting that they quenched singlet oxygen physically. Polyphenols were the most effective in improving the stability of tuna oil-enriched emulsions during chlorophyll-photosensitized oxidation.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding unrefined oil on the antioxidant activity of a tuna oil-enriched emulsion by determining DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and inhibition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in vitro. The emulsion consisted of tocopherol-stripped canola (18.3 g) and tuna (9.1 g) oil, one of the unrefined oils (4.6 g), such as extra virgin olive, mustard, perilla, or sesame oil, 0.5% acetic acid (64 g), and egg yolk powder (4 g). The control emulsion contained only canola (21.4 g) and tuna oil (10.6 g), as oil sources,with the same composition of the remaining ingredients. The emulsion with added unrefined oil, particularly mustard oil, showed higher radical scavenging activity and reducing power than those of the control emulsion. The radical scavenging activity and reducing power of the emulsion with added unrefined oil were higher at 1,000 ppm than at 500 ppm thus, the effect was concentration-dependent. Adding sesame or perilla oil to the tuna oil-enriched emulsion resulted in higher inhibition of LDL oxidationwhereas adding olive oil increased LDL oxidation. The results clearly showed that adding roasted mustard, sesame, or perilla oil improved the antioxidant activity of a tuna oil-enriched emulsion by increasing free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and inhibiting LDL oxidation. The results also suggest that adding unrefined oils produces a healthier fish oil-enriched salad dressing recipe.

To prepare high-quality fast foods using salmon, this study developed a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-enriched salmon patty, and compared its quality with soybean oil-added patty and commercial patty. The moisture and lipid contents of the DHA-enriched patty were 61.9% and 7.7%, respectively. The moisture content was lower than in the commercial patty, while the lipid content was higher. The lipophilic and hydrophilic browning indices of the DHA-enriched patty were 0.10 and 0.05, respectively, which were lower than those of the commercial patty. The DHA-enriched patty had 5% less trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble nitrogen than the commercial patty, and it was firmer. There were no differences in the proximate composition, browning indices, TCA-soluble nitrogen content, and hardness between the soybean-added and DHA-enriched patties prepared in this experiment. Examining the fatty acid compositions of the patties, the saturated acid and monoenoic acid compositions decreased in the following order: DHA-enriched patty > soybean oil-added patty > commercial patty, while the polyenoic acid composition increased in that order. The total amino acid content of the DHA-enriched patty was 19.13 g/100 g, which was 32% higher than that of the commercial patty (14.47 g/100 g). No enriching effect of minerals would be expected on eating a 100 g DHA-enriched patty, except for phosphorus. The sensory evaluation indicated that the DHA-enriched patty was superior in color and taste to the commercial patty, while there was no difference in flavor between the patties.
