Fourier methods of IR spectroscopy and refractometry in the study of industrial modified and natural vegetable oils
Using Fourier infrared spectroscopy and refractometry, we made a comparative study of the optical properties for the extended series of samples of liquid vegetable oils – non-industrial, freshly squeezed from seeds by the pressing method, natural industrial unrefined, and refined from different manufacturers and classification groups, depending on the conditions of their heat treatment, industrial samples of oils modified by oxidation, polymerization, hydrogenation, and their blends. Compared to the spectra of a number of samples of oilseeds and nuts, as well as 5-day-old hemp seedlings, the transformation of the natural system of cis-trans-conjugated fatty acid double bonds into trans-isolated conformations of a technogenic nature – mechanical cold pressing, refining, and heat treatment – is illustrated.
