| Summary: | A study was conducted to determine the contamination of lard and other animal fats
in palm olein used in the frying of meats such as beef, chicken and pork. The meats
were fried in the palm olein at 180 oC and the used palm olein were collected and
analysed using gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography and
differential scanning calorimetry. The differential scanning calorimetry heating
profiles proved that the existing of the endothermic peak ‘X’ in the temperature
region from 4.7 oC to 6.5 oC, the sharp exothermic curve ‘Z’ in the temperature
region from 4.2 oC to 4.3 oC and the endothermic peak ‘B6’ in the temperature
region from 10.7 oC to 13.9 oC simultaneously, indicated the contamination from the
frying of beef, whereas, the presence of the sharp exothermic curve ‘Z’ in the
temperature region from 4.9 oC to 6.6 oC only, was clearly indicated the
contamination from the frying of pork. Frying of chicken meat in the palm olein did
not obviously influence the heating and cooling profiles of the used palm olein.
Thus, differential scanning calorimetry is found to be very useful, safe, fast,
sensitive, efficient and reliable instrumental method in determining the fingerprint of
lard contamination in the palm olein used in the frying of meats. The Principle
Component Analysis of triacylglyceride compositions and the heating profiles were
able to classify the palm olein used in the frying of meats into two groups. The first
group comprised of the palm olein used in the frying of pork, pork sausages and
bacon, whereas, the second group comprised of the palm olein used in the frying of
beef and chicken. Therefore, the findings obtained in this study can be applied to the
determination and certification of halal status especially in food industries. |
