QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY OF SEA BUCKTHORN BERRY OILS ...

CONCLUSION (I) We identified 6 types of biomarkers appropriate for SBfingerprint and authenticity: FAs, tocopherols, sterols,carotenoids, phenolics SBVO obtained by protective techniques proved to be rich intocopherols & tocotrienols and MUFAs vs SBO Thermal and UV treatments did not induced drasticdegradations of biomarkers, more affected being tocopherols,carotenoids and MUFAs (< 20%) Microencapsulation provide better stability of oil and can berecommended for internal use of SBVOComparing the composition of SBO and SFO, we identifiedthe relevant markers useful to recognize and quantify theadulteration of SBO with SFO
