Abstract:
Two key parameters (acidity and peroxide content) for evaluation of the oxidation level in crude peanut oil have been studied. The titrimetric analysis was carried out for reference data collection. Then, near-infrared spectroscopy in combination with chemometric algorithms such as partial least square (PLS); bootstrapping soft shrinkage-PLS (BOSS-PLS); uninformative variable elimination-PLS (UVE-PLS), and competitive-adaptive reweighted sampling-PLS (CARS-PLS) were attempted and assessed. The correlation coefficients of prediction (Rp), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and residual predictive deviation (RPD) were used to individually evaluate the performance of the models. Optimum results were noticed with CARS-PLS, 0.9517 ≤ Rc ≤ 0.9670, 0.9503 ≤ Rp ≤ 0.9637, 0.0874 ≤ RMSEP ≤ 0.5650, and 3.14 ≤ RPD ≤ 3.64. Therefore, this affirmed that the near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with CARS-PLS could be used as a simple, fast, and non-invasive technique for quantifying acid value and peroxide value in crude peanut oil.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency,...

While α protons of carboxylic acids absorb at 2–2.5 ppm, β protons absorb further upfield.
Carboxylic acids are easily identified by dissolving them in deuterium oxide, which results in a rapid exchange of the acidic protons with deuterium. This leads to the...
