Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants. more details ...
Abstract Eleven winged bean accessions from Thailand were analyzed. Oil content ranged between 15 and 18%. Oleic and linoleic acids were the major fatty acids (62.5-64.5%) together with behenic (12.6-14.4%) and lignoceric acid (2.4-2.8%). Linolenic acid level was low and traces of 15-, 17- and 21-carbon acids (saturated and unsaturated) were found. No parinaric acid was detected. Campesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol were the principal components of the unsaponifiable fraction. The extracted oil had a very low free fatty acid (FFA) content but was not completely liquid below 35 C. The refining of crude winged bean oil is reported. Oil produced by expeller had a strong, beany aroma but a negligible level of gums and a low level of FFA. Degumming and neutralizing were unnecessary; bleaching produced an attractive colored oil free from beany aroma. Crude solvent-extracted oils from whole and decorticated winged beans had appreciable contents of gums and higher FFA contents than expeller-produced oil. Laboratory refining demonstrated the strong interference on bleaching exerted by gums and FFA. Conventional refining by degumming, neutralizing, bleaching and deodorizing, and by physical refining produced high-quality oils having a good color, low FFA level and no taste or smell. The solid/liquid ratio of refined winged bean oil as a function of temperature was found to be unusual. Oil was extracted from whole and decorticated winged beans in a pilot solvent extraction plant designed to simulate a Rotocei. Winged bean flakes were not as mechanically strong as those from soybean but good oil extraction yields were obtained and a meal was produced having an oil content of less than 1% at 10% moisture. Whole winged beans were expelled in a small expeller (throughput 16.8 kg/hr). Cake was produced with a residual oil content of 3.3-5% in a single pass through the expeller. © 1982 American Oil Chemists' Society.
