The employment for high-density polyethylene active packages (HDPAP) bottles containing Coriandrum sativum (Corainder) essential oil in the improvement of the oxidative stability of sunflower oil

ABSTRACT

In this research, the effect of high-density polyethylene active packaging (HDPAP) bottles containing Coriandrum sativum essential oil (CSEO) on the oxidation stability and sensory attributes of sunflower oil (SFO) during the accelerated storage was investigated. The migration test showed that the CSEO could migrate from the package to SFO. In the accelerated storage procedure at 65°C, the increase in the levels of acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (AnV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated dienes (K₂₃₂) and conjugated trienes (K₂₆₈) of SFO samples was significantly inhibited after the sunflower oil packaged by the HAPAP containing CSEO at 6000 ppm (p < .05), which showed that the HDPAP bottle containing CSEO could delay the oxidation of SFO.   Therefore, the results demonstrated that employment of HDPAP bottles containing CSEO at 6000 ppm could be applied as a good replacement for the direct addition of synthetic antioxidants to the SFO.
