Abstract
Fluorometric and fluorescent image analysis methods with 3-perylene diphenylphosphine (3-PeDPP) were developed to measure lipid hydroperoxides in refined tuna oil. The fluorescence intensity of 3-perylene diphenylphosphineoxide (3-PeDPPO, the corresponding peroxidation product of 3-PeDPP) has been used for assessing lipid hydroperoxides in refined tuna oil models, and the results are compared to those of a classical method using ferric-xylenol orange complex. There were good correlations between the lipid hydroperoxide contents determined by the 3-PeDPPO fluorescence and the xylenol orange methods (R(2) = 0.984). Moreover, the novel probe 3-PeDPP and the fluorescent image analysis enabled us to evaluate two-dimensionally the lipid hydroperoxide contents in tuna oil droplets. These results suggest that the fluorometric and fluorescent image analyses using 3-PeDPP would be suitable for batch and two-dimensional determinations of lipid hydroperoxides in oil and oil-containing materials.
