Direct determination of polymerised triacylglycerides in deep-frying vegetable oil by near infrared spectroscopy using Partial Least Squares regression

Abstract A green method for the determination of polymerised triacylglyceride (PTG) in deep-frying vegetable oils of different botanic origin has been developed employing near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression. Four different types of oil were heated during several hours, with and without the addition of foodstuff. NIR transmission spectra were obtained directly from sample aliquots stored in glass vials, thus avoiding the consumption of solvents and minimising waste generation. Variables employed for building the PLS models were selected applying interval PLS (iPLS) as well as Uninformative Variable Elimination-PLS (UVE-PLS). A global PLS model using spectra of all four types of oils was compared to PLS models established for each oil type. Due to the small differences observed in the NIR spectra that can be related to the different botanic origin and results obtained from the PLS model comparison, the use of a global PLS model is recommended leading to prediction errors of 2.28% (w/w) for the determination of PTG in oils employed for frying different kinds of foods.
