Comparative Stability of vit E isomers Extracted fromUnsaponifiable Fractions of Rice Bran Oil underVarious Temperature and Oxygen Conditions

Due to the fact that tocopherols and tocotrienols have antioxidant and anticancer properties, the commercial utilization of unsaponifiable fractions in rice bran is increasing. These nutraceutical compounds, however, are fairly unstable and readily break down when exposed to oxygen or lighting conditions. To compare the relative sensitivity of vit E isomers to heat and oxygen, concentrated unsaponifiable fractions extracted from crude rice bran oil were exposed to various temperature, oxygen (nitrogen-balanced), and bathing solvent conditions and resultant concentration changes in γ-and γ-tocopherols (T) and tocotrienols (T3) were evaluated. Each isomer exhibited different heat stability. Among them, γ-T3 degraded more rapidly compared to other vit E isomers while γ-T was the most stable isomer. Oxygen level also showed significant impact on each isomer’s stability where severe reductions of γ-T (by 20%) and γ-T3 (by 29%) were observed under 2% oxygen conditions, while under 0% oxygen conditions no degradation could be observed even after exposure to 95℃for 4 hours.When various blending solvents were mixed with concentrated unsaponifiable fractions, organic solvents such as isooctane and hexane were more effective in maintaining the stability of γ-T3 compared to edible oils, among which corn oil was more efficient than soybean and rice bran oils.
