Technological Process of Producing Iodine-fortified Sun Flower Oil with High Biological Value 

Description:

The technology has been developed for obtaining iodine-fortified sun flower oil with high biological value and antioxidative properties that are due to the molecular iodine and antioxidative spice plant components, respectively introduced in this oil.

Innovative Aspects and Main Advantages:

• The iodine-fortified sun flower oil differs in the presence of the stable π iodine-triglyceride compounds, formed by fixing the molecular iodine at the double bond of the unsaturated fatty acids;
• The spice plant extracts introduced into the composition of the oil with the iodine content 1 µg I/ml exerts a stabilization influence on the processes of the accumulation of the primary and secondary oxidation products in the oil;
• In vitro and in vivo researches of iodine bioavailability from iodine-fortified sun flower oil have proved that introduction of this oil in the ration of hypothyroid laboratory animals contribute to restoration of such thyroid hormones levels as T₃, T₄ and TSH, as a result of an efficient digestion and high iodine bioavailability from the present complex.

The offered technological process of producing of iodine-fortified sun flower oil with high biological value does not demand the additional equipment and expensive capital investments.

Areas of Application:

The iodine-fortified sun flower oil with high biological value can be used to prevent alimentary dependent iodine deficiency disorders as a salad dressing with the view of imparting a pleasant specific aroma of spice plants to various cold courses and snacks.

Stage of Development:

• It was elaborated the scientific basis and the technology of fabrication of iodine-fortified sun flower oil with high biological value
• The results of this work were implemented to the factory SC “MULTIEVO” SRL in accordance with Manufactory’s Standard SF 40128744:001-2007.
• The elaborated technological process is covered by patent of the Republic of Moldova MD 3336 G2 2007.06.30.
