Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility and applicability of Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR-ATR) techniques, without extraction, with prior extraction of fat and after hydrolysis and methylation, to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) to evaluate the content of trans fatty acids (TFA) in filled biscuits and to compare the results obtained with those obtained when elaidic acid was determined by the GC–MS technique. Eight commercial brands of chocolate filled biscuits and one package of hydrogenated vegetable fat were selected to be used as secondary standards by FT-IR-ATR. The presence of TFA was identified by FT-IR-ATR by visualization of the band at 966 cm−1. No significant differences were found between the concentrations of TFA determined by the three methods tested. The study indicated that the FT-IR-ATR technique, when used to analyze the lipid extract and the samples in the form of FAME, is suitable for estimating the TFA content in chocolate filled biscuits.
期刊介绍:
Food Analytical Methods publishes original articles, review articles, and notes on novel and/or state-of-the-art analytical methods or issues to be solved, as well as significant improvements or interesting applications to existing methods. These include analytical technology and methodology for food microbial contaminants, food chemistry and toxicology, food quality, food authenticity and food traceability. The journal covers fundamental and specific aspects of the development, optimization, and practical implementation in routine laboratories, and validation of food analytical methods for the monitoring of food safety and quality.
