Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of food science and technology, and in particular to a method for estimating the shelf life of olive oil based on a thermal decomposition reaction kinetic equation. Background Art
[0002] When considering the storage and shelf life of olive oil, several key technical challenges are often faced. First, as a widely consumed edible oil, the maintenance of its quality and nutritional value is extremely important to consumers. However, olive oil is susceptible to oxidation during storage, which can lead to a decline in oil quality and affect taste, nutrition and safety. Traditional storage methods and standards usually rely on empirical rules and do not fully consider the actual oxidation kinetic behavior of oils under different conditions.
[0003] Secondly, although various preservation technologies and packaging methods are used in the prior art to extend the shelf life of olive oil, these methods often focus on physical and chemical protection measures, such as light protection and oxygen protection. These methods can delay the oxidation process of olive oil to a certain extent, but still fail to provide a scientific method to accurately predict its shelf life under specific storage conditions. In addition, these traditional methods cannot quantify the specific impact of different storage conditions on the oxidation rate of oil products, and therefore have limitations in providing precise usage guidance.
[0004] Finally, although thermal analysis techniques have been successfully applied to predict the stability and life of materials in other fields, applying these techniques to the evaluation of the oxidative stability of edible oils still faces challenges. In particular, the methods of combining these techniques with reaction kinetic models are not mature enough in practice and require more innovation and technological development. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a method that can combine thermal analysis data and kinetic equations to accurately predict the shelf life of olive oil under different conditions, which will help scientifically manage the storage and use of olive oil and ultimately improve consumer satisfaction and the market competitiveness of products.

[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0049] Please see attached Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for estimating the shelf life of olive oil based on the kinetic equation of thermal decomposition reaction. The method uses thermal analysis technology to evaluate the physical and chemical changes of olive oil during heating, and combines kinetic equations to predict its oxidative life under different storage conditions, thereby providing a scientific basis for the storage and use of olive oil.
[0050] Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
[0051] S1. Thermal analysis experiment
[0052] In this step, a thermal analysis of the olive oil sample is performed using a differential thermal-thermogravimetric simultaneous determination device (such as Shimadzu DTG-60). First, the olive oil sample is accurately weighed to 2 to 3 mg and placed in a ceramic crucible. The experiment was carried out in a static air environment, with the heating rates set to 2, 5, 10 and 20 K / min, and the temperature range controlled at 25°C to 600°C. Under these conditions, the thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves of the olive oil sample can be obtained. The TG curve reflects the mass loss of the sample as the temperature changes, while the DTA curve reveals the changes in energy absorption or release of the sample during heating.
[0053] S2. Calculation of peak temperature
[0054] According to the DTA curve obtained in step S1, calculate the peak temperature T at different heating rates P The peak temperature refers to the temperature at which the reaction rate reaches its maximum value in the DTA curve, which is a key parameter for evaluating the thermal stability of olive oil.
[0055] S3. Calculation of activation energy
[0056] The activation energy E of olive oil was calculated using the Ozawa method and the Kissinger method. The Ozawa method is based on the formula:
[0057]
[0058] Plotting logβ against The activation energy E is calculated from the slope of the straight line. Where β is the heating rate in K / min; A is the pre-exponential factor; E is the activation energy in kJ / mol; R is the gas constant, 8.314 J / (K·mol); T is the absolute temperature of the peak temperature in K, and G(α) is the conversion function. The Kissinger method uses the formula:
[0059]
[0060] Also by drawing right The slope of the graph is analyzed to obtain the activation energy E. i is the heating rate, in K / min; T pi is the peak temperature at this heating rate, in K; A is the pre-exponential factor; E is the activation energy, in kJ / mol; R is the gas constant, 8.314 J / (K·mol).
[0061] These activation energy data provide a quantitative assessment of the thermal stability of olive oil and aid in further analysis and prediction.
[0062] S4. Calculation of oxidation life
[0063] According to the thermal analysis kinetic equation:
[0064]
[0065] Where a is the conversion rate of the reaction; t is the reaction time; A is the pre-exponential factor; E is the activation energy, in kJ / mol; R is the gas constant 8.314 J / (K·mol); T is the reaction temperature, in K, and n is the reaction order.
[0066] Here, the activation energy E and the frequency factor A (obtained from the Kissinger method) are substituted into the equation. Assuming that the oxidation process is a first-order reaction (i.e., n=1), the expected oxidation lifetime of olive oil at different temperatures is obtained by separation and integration of variables. This calculation is based on the behavior of olive oil at the peak temperature to estimate its oxidative stability under low temperature storage conditions.
[0067] The method of the present invention can provide olive oil producers and consumers with a scientific basis for the storage conditions and shelf life of the oil. By accurately predicting the oxidation life of olive oil under different temperature conditions, it helps to formulate a more effective storage strategy, thereby extending the service life of olive oil, reducing waste, and ensuring product quality.
[0068] Example:
[0069] This embodiment provides a method for estimating the shelf life of olive oil based on the thermal decomposition reaction kinetic equation. The method predicts the oxidation life of olive oil at different temperatures by thermal analysis combined with kinetic calculation. The method utilizes differential thermal-thermogravimetric analysis (TG / DTA) technology, combined with the Ozawa method and the Kissinger method to calculate the activation energy of olive oil, and thereby derives the expected shelf life of olive oil under different temperature conditions.
[0070] Experimental Section
[0071] Sample and instrument setup
[0072] Sample: Olive oil purchased from a supermarket, 2 to 3 mg was measured into a ceramic crucible.

[0079] Experimental data recording and analysis
[0080] Acquisition of TG and DTA curves: TG and DTA curves were collected at different heating rates, such as Figures 2 to 6 These graphs show the thermal decomposition curves of olive oil samples at different heating rates.
[0081] Kinetic equation processing and activation energy calculation
[0082] Ozawa method:
[0083] According to the heating rate (β) and peak temperature (T P ) data, and use the Ozawa equation to calculate the activation energy (E). The details are as follows:
[0084] According to the Ozawa formula,
[0085] Where: β——heating rate, K / min;
[0086] E——activation energy, K / min;
[0087] R——gas constant, 8.314 J / (K·mol);
[0088] T——absolute constant, K.
[0089] For different DTA curves, at the maximum reaction rate, i.e., the peak temperature T P At , the conversion rates of the samples are basically the same. A curve is obtained by plotting the slope of the straight line, and the activation energy E can be calculated.
[0090] The data used and the calculation results are summarized in Table 1.

[0093] OriginPro7.0 software was used for linear fitting, and the results were as follows: Figure 7 shown.
[0094] We get: -0.4567E / R = -3318.83067, and solve for E = 60.418 kJ / mol.
[0095] Kissinger method:
[0096] Similarly, the same peak temperature data is processed using the Kissinger equation as follows:
[0097] According to the Kissiger formula,
[0098] Where: T pi ——Peak temperature, K.
[0099] and They are in a linear relationship. Plotting the two graphs gives a straight line. From the slope of the line, we can find E. k , find A from the intercept k , and its linear correlation is generally above 0.9.
[0100] The data used and the calculation results are summarized in Table 2.
[0101] Table 2 Data required for Kissiger formula
[0102]
[0103] OriginPro7.0 software was used for linear fitting, and the results were as follows: Figure 8 As shown. The formula is: ln[R·A / E]=2.248①
[0104] -E / R=-6616.187 ②
[0105] The solution is: A = 62671E = 55.006 kJ / mol
[0106] The comparison of activation energies of the two kinetic equations is shown in Table 3:
[0107] Table 3 Comparison of activation energies of two kinetic equations
[0108]
[0109] Oxidation life calculation:
[0110] The general equation for thermal analysis kinetics is:
[0111]
[0112] Where: a——rate of change
[0113] t——reaction time
[0114] A——Pre-exponential factor
[0115] n——reaction order
[0116] When n=1,
[0117] When the temperature rises linearly, β=dT / dt ③
[0118] Substituting ③ into ②, we get:
[0119] We can conduct micro-business on ④ and sort them out:
[0120] When the reaction reaches the maximum reaction rate (i.e. at the peak temperature T P At:
[0121] and
[0122] Then we get: E / (RT 2 )-(A / β)e -E / (RT) =0
[0123] Therefore, A=|(βE) / (RT P 2 )|e E / (RT) ⑥
[0124] Integrate the separated variables to get:
[0125] -ln(1-α)=A(e -E / (RT) ) ⑦
[0126] Take the logarithm of both sides of ⑦ and sort them out to get:
[0127] ln t=E / RT+ln[-ln(1-α)]-ln A ⑧
[0128] The reaction time t in ⑧ is the oxidation lifetime. ⑧ represents the relationship between the oxidation lifetime t and the activation energy E of the thermal oxidation reaction, the pre-exponential factor A and the rate of change α at temperature T.
[0129] ⑧ is derived under the assumption that the oxidation mechanism remains unchanged, and the oxidation reaction of edible olive oil reaches the maximum reaction rate (i.e., the peak temperature T P ), which can be approximately considered as a first-order reaction. Therefore, it can be assumed that h = 1, and the Ozawa method can be used to calculate the oxidation life of olive oil at different temperatures, as shown in Table 4.
[0130] Table 4 Oxidation life of olive oil at different temperatures in static air atmosphere (d-days)
[0131]
[0132] From the table above, we can see that when olive oil is opened and stored at 5°C, it will be oxidized after 264.2 days, which means the shelf life is 264.2 days. At 20°C, the shelf life is 69.2 days, at 30°C, the shelf life is 30.5 days, and at 40°C, the shelf life is only 13.8 days.
[0133] Therefore, only by keeping it at low temperatures and avoiding contact with air (in fact, isolating it from oxygen) can olive oil be preserved for a longer period of time.
[0134] This method provides a rapid and scientific evaluation method to effectively predict the oxidative stability of olive oil and other edible oils under different storage conditions, which has important economic and practical value for producers, transporters and consumers of edible oils.
[0135] The present invention provides an efficient and accurate prediction method for the oxidation life of olive oil by combining modern thermal analysis technology with kinetic theory. Through the disclosed experimental settings and data processing steps, technicians in this field can replicate this method and then evaluate the quality retention of olive oil under different conditions. This invention not only improves the scientific management level of edible oils and fats, but also provides a scientific basis for consumers to use.
