Nutritional quality of selected commercially available seed oils and effect of storage conditions on their oxidative stability.

ABSTRACT: The primary objective of this research was to investigate nutritional composition of soybean, canola, cottonseed, palm and rapeseed oils under and the effect of storage conditions on their oxidative stability. Nutritional quality of selected seed oils was determined in term of fatty acids, tocopherols and tocotrienols compositions, total phenolic, total flavonoids and mineral contents. High resolution gas chromatography (HR-GC) analysis showed the presence of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids having range from 9.21-43.25, 27.01-58.87 and 29.23-57.75 g/100g, respectively in all the oils. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that γ-tocopherol was the major tocopherol followed by α-tocopherol in most of the oils. Spectrophotometric analysis
