ABSTRACT. In this study, the kinetics of aldehyde formation in heated frying oils was
24
characterized by 2-hydrazinoquinoline derivatization, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
25
(LC-MS) analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA).
26
The aldehydes contributing to time-dependent separation of heated soybean oil (HSO) in a PCA
27
model were grouped by the HCA into three clusters (A1, A2, and B) based on their kinetics and
28
fatty acid precursors. The increases of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and A2/B ratio in HSO were
29
well correlated with the duration of thermal stress. Chemometric and quantitative analysis of
30
three frying oils (soybean, corn, and canola oils) and French fry extracts further supported the
31
associations between aldehyde profiles and fatty acid precursors, and also revealed that the
32
concentrations of pentanal, hexanal, acrolein, and the A2/B ratio in French fry extracts were
33
more comparable to their values in the frying oils than other unsaturated aldehydes. All these
34
results suggest the roles of specific aldehydes or aldehyde clusters as novel markers of lipid
35
oxidation status for frying oils or fried foods.

INTRODUCTION
41
During deep frying of foods, thermal stress can extensively transform the chemical composition
42
of frying oils, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-enriched vegetable oils, and alter
43
their nutritional value and toxicological profile.1, 2 Diverse reactions and chemical events, such as
44
hydrolysis, radical formation, peroxidation, cyclization, polymerization, and homolytic and
45
heterolytic cleavage occur in this process to convert triacylglycerols in frying oils to free fatty
46
acids, mono- and di-acylglycerols, hydroperoxide primary lipid oxidation products (LOPs), and
47
diverse secondary LOPs, such as cyclic fatty acids, polymeric products, aldehydes, ketones,
48
alcohols, dienes, and acids.3 Among these LOPs, aldehydes, due to their reactivity with proteins
49
and DNA, have been defined as major contributors to the adverse effects induced by heated
50
frying oils in animal and cell-based toxicity studies.4,
51
aldehyde species possess organoleptic properties, contributing to the flavor of fried foods.6, 7
5
Besides their bioreactivity, many
52 53
Because the reactivity and toxic effects of aldehydes are closely associated with their structures
54
and concentrations, both qualitative (such as structural identification) and quantitative analyses
55
of aldehydes are commonly performed to evaluate the oxidative status and toxic profile of frying
56
oils and fried foods. In fact, among the numerous assays that have been developed and
57
established to characterize the chemical properties of dietary lipids, aldehydes are the main
58
targets of anisidine value, total oxidation (TOTOX) value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances
59
(TBARS), hexanal, and 2,4-decadienal assays.8,
60
determining the presence of aldehydes, how to effectively monitor diverse aldehydes and their
61
formation in frying oils and fried food remains to be a challenge. This situation can be largely
62
attributed to: (1) under thermal stress, aldehyde production originates from multiple precursors
9
Despite the availability of these assays for

63
and multiple degradation routes, resulting in unstable composition of aldehydes in frying oils;
64
and (2) in contrast to the complexity of aldehyde production, these established targeted assays
65
are incapable of detecting and analyzing multiple aldehyde species simultaneously. At present,
66
the kinetics of aldehyde production in frying oils as well as the correlations between their levels
67
in frying oils and fried foods are generally undefined.
68 69
In the study herein, a platform combining chemical derivatization, high-resolution liquid
70
chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, and multivariate chemometric analysis
71
was adopted to characterize the kinetics of aldehyde formation in vegetable oils heated at frying
72
temperature and their distribution in French fries. The values of specific aldehydes and aldehyde
73
clusters as the markers of thermal stress and oxidative degradation were evaluated based on their
74
kinetic profiles and distribution.

Preparation of frying oil samples. Soybean oil (300 mL) was placed in a 500 mL round-bottom
88
glass flask and then heated in an electric heating mantle with power controller. The temperature
89
of soybean oil was gradually increased from room temperature (22oC) to 185oC in approximately
90
1 h with bubbling air (50 mL/min). Heated soybean oil (HSO) samples were collected at 45oC,
91
65oC, 85oC, 105oC, 125oC, 145oC, 165oC, and 185oC. Afterwards, the temperature was held
92
constant at 185oC for 6 h with samples collected at 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h
93
of heating. Corn and canola oils were heated by the same procedure, but sampled only at 0 min,
94
30 min, and 6 h of heating at 185oC. Control soybean oil (CSO) was stored at room temperature
95
(22oC).
96 97
Oil extraction from French fries. Ten French fry samples were purchased separately from five
98
brands of fast food restaurants (abbreviated as A, B, K, M, W) in St. Paul, Minnesota,
99
representing two samples from each brand. The oil contents in minced French fries were
100
extracted twice by 2 volumes of dichloromethane (v/w). The extracts were filtered through a
101
column packed with anhydrous sodium sulfate to remove water and insolubles. After evaporating
102
the solvent by nitrogen, the samples were stored at -80oC prior to further analysis.
103 104
Measurement of peroxide value (PV). The PV of oil samples were determined by a modified
105
colorimetric assay.10 Briefly, 10 µL of 20 mM FeCl2 solution (in 200 mM HCl) and 1 µL of oil
106
sample were added into 100 µL of 1 mM xylenol orange solution (in a 1:1 butanol-methanol
107
mixture) in a 96-well plate. After 10 min of shaking and incubation at room temperature, the
108
absorbance of reaction mix was measured at 560 nm using a Molecular Devices SpectraMax 250

109
microplate reader (Sunnyvale, CA). The standard curve was prepared with FeCl3 with a linear
110
range from 1 to 20 µg/mL.
111 112
Measurement of TBARS value. The TBARS values of oil samples were measured using a
113
modified method.11 Briefly, 20 µL of oil sample or malondialdehyde (MDA) standard was added
114
to 200 µL of a solution containing 15% w/v trichloroacetic acid, 0.375% w/v thiobarbituric acid,
115
and 0.25 M HCl in a 2 mL screw-top tube, and then heated at 100oC for 30 min. After cooling on
116
ice, the reaction mixture was then centrifuged at 3,000 × g for 5 min. The aqueous phase was
117
transferred to a 96-well plate and measured at 535 nm using a Molecular Devices SpectraMax
118
250 microplate reader. The TBARS values were calculated using a MDA standard curve ranging
119
from 2.5 to 200 µM.
120 121
Derivatization of aldehydes in oil samples. Prior to the LC-MS analysis, aldehydes in oil
122
samples were first derivatized by HQ using a modified method.12 Briefly, 4 µL of oil sample was
123
added into a 200 µL of freshly-prepared acetonitrile solution containing 1 mM DPDS, 1 mM
124
TPP, 1 mM HQ, and 100 µM acetone-d6 (internal standard). The reaction mixture was incubated
125
at 60°C for 30 min, chilled on ice, and then centrifuged at 18,000 × g for 10 min. A 100 µL of
126
supernatant was mixed with 100 µL of ice-cold H2O. After centrifugation at 18,000 × g for 10
127
min, the supernatant was transferred into a HPLC vial for LC-MS analysis.
128 129
LC-MS analysis. A 5 µL sample aliquot was injected into an Acquity ultra-performance liquid
130
chromatography (UPLC) system (Waters, Milford, MA) and separated in a BEH C18 column
131
(Waters) using a mobile phase (A: H2O containing 0.05 % acetic acid, v:v, and 2 mM

ammonium acetate; B: H2O:acetonitrile=5:95, v:v, containing 0.05 % acetic acid, v:v, and 2 mM
133
ammonium acetate). The LC eluant was introduced into a Xevo-G2-S quadrupole time-of-flight
134
mass spectrometer (QTOFMS, Waters) for accurate mass measurement and ion counting.
135
Capillary voltage and cone voltage for electrospray ionization was maintained at 3 kV and 30 V
136
for positive-mode detection. Source temperature and desolvation temperature were set at 120°C
137
and 350°C, respectively. Nitrogen was used as both cone gas (50 L/h) and desolvation gas (600
138
L/h), and argon was used as collision gas. For accurate mass measurement, the mass
139
spectrometer was calibrated with sodium formate solution with mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of 50-
140
1,000 and monitored by the intermittent injection of the lock mass leucine enkephalin ([M+H]+ =
141
m/z 556.2771) in real time. Mass chromatograms and mass spectral data were acquired and
142
processed by MassLynxTM software (Waters) in centroided format. The chemical identities of
143
compounds of interest were determined by accurate mass measurement, elemental composition
144
analysis, MSMS fragmentation, and comparisons with authentic standards if available.
145
Individual compound concentrations were determined by calculating the ratio between the peak
146
area of compound and the peak area of internal standard and fitting with a standard curve using
147
QuanLynxTM software (Waters).
148 149
Chemometric analysis and data visualization. After data acquisition in the UPLC-QTOFMS
150
system, the chromatographic and spectral data of samples were deconvoluted by MarkerLynxTM
151
software (Waters). A multivariate data matrix containing information on sample identity, ion
152
identity (retention time and m/z), and ion abundance was generated through centroiding,
153
deisotoping, filtering, peak recognition and integration. The intensity of each ion was calculated
154
by normalizing the single ion counts (SIC) versus the total ion counts (TIC) in the whole

155
chromatogram. The data matrix was exported into SIMCA-P+TM software (Umetrics, Kinnelon,
156
NJ) and transformed by Pareto scaling. Principal component analysis (PCA) was then performed
157
to model the data matrix and define the correlations among the samples. The compounds
158
contributing to the sample separation in the model were identified in the loadings plot of the
159
model. After Z score transformation, the relative abundance of identified compounds in samples
160
were presented in heat maps generated by the R program (http://www.R-project.org), and
161
correlations among these compounds were defined by hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA).13
162 163
Statistics. The statistical significances among frying oils were analyzed by one-way ANOVA
164
and Tukey’s multiple comparison tests using PROC GLM procedure of SAS version 9.1 (SAS
165
Institute, Cary, NC). A P value of < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

RESULTS
168
Lipid oxidation status in HSO based on kinetic changes of PV and TBARS concentrations.
169
PV and TBARS value are two widely used indicators of the presence of primary and secondary
170
LOPs in frying oils, respectively. In this study, soybean oil was sampled multiple times at
171
different temperatures to determine changes in PV and TBARS values. The PV of soybean oil
172
started to increase from 145oC, peaked when heating temperature reached 185oC, and decreased
173
rapidly thereafter (Figure 1A). This transient increase of PV in the early time points of heating is
174
consistent with other PV profile results reported at various frying conditions,14, 15 suggesting that
175
hydroperoxide primary LOPs are highly unstable within this temperature range. Compared to PV,
176
the TBARS value, which reflects the concentration of MDA, a secondary LOP of PUFA, also
177
increased at 145oC and began to plateau within the first hour of heating at 185°C (Figure 1B).

178
Overall, even though PV and TBARS values partially reflect heating-induced chemical changes
179
in soybean oil, the transient increase of PV and the plateauing of TBARS value in their kinetic
180
profiles do not allow an accurate assessment of the duration of thermal stress on frying oils or
181
enable the establishment of dose-response relationships in toxicological evaluation of heated oils.
182 183
LC-MS-based chemometric analysis of thermal stress-induced production of aldehydes in
184
soybean oil.
185
Considering that reactive aldehydes are major secondary LOPs responsible for the adverse
186
biological effects associated with frying oil consumption, the kinetics of forming aldehydes in
187
HSO was examined by LC-MS-based chemometrics to determine whether individual aldehydes
188
or the aldehyde profile may serve as better indicators of thermal stress exposure in frying oils.
189
Because direct detection of aldehydes in LC-MS analysis is hampered by their poor retention in
190
common C18 reverse-phase columns, and their insufficient ionization efficiency in electrospray
191
MS system, HQ was adopted as the derivatization agent to facilitate chromatographic separation
192
and MS detection of aldehydes.12 As shown in the scores plot (Figure 2A), heating-induced
193
changes in soybean oil are reflected by the distribution pattern of HQ-derivatized samples in the
194
PCA model, and can be summarized as follows: (1) Increasing the temperature from 45ºC to
195
165ºC did not significantly increase aldehyde production because the samples collected in this
196
temperature range were clustered together with CSO in the model (Figure 2A). The increase of
197
PV began at 145oC (Figure 1A), which suggests that aldehyde production lagged behind the
198
formation of hydroperoxides, which is consistent to the sequence of forming primary and
199
secondary LOPs;1 (2) Increasing the temperature from 165ºC to 185ºC triggered dramatic
200
changes of aldehyde profile in HSO, which was reflected by the clear separation of samples

collected at these two temperatures in the model (Figure 2A); (3) Time-dependent chemical
202
changes in HSO occurred from 0 min to 6 h when HSO was held at 185ºC (Figure 2A).
203
Subsequently, a group of aldehydes were identified as the major contributors to the separation of
204
CSO and different HSO samples in a loadings plot (Figure 2B). Their structural identities were
205
further determined as 2,4-decadienal (I), 2-undecenal (II), 2-decenal (III), 2,4-undecadienal (IV),
206
4-HNE (V), 2-octenal (VI), pentanal (VII), hexanal (VIII), acrolein (IX), 2,4-heptadienal (X),
207
and 2-heptenal (XI) after comparing their retention time and MSMS fragmentograms with
208
authentic standards (Table S1 and Figure S1). In addition to confirming the structures of these
209
aldehydes, other markers of thermal stress were also identified in the model. For example,
210
compound XII was tentatively defined as a 4-oxononanal, based on its molecular formula of
211
C9H16O2 and MSMS fragmentogram, but was not confirmed due to the lack of a standard.
212
Moreover, the distribution pattern of these aldehydes in the loading plot indicated that individual
213
aldehydes had different contributions to principal components 1 and 2 of the PCA model, which
214
underlie the temperature- and time-dependent sample separation. To further define the kinetics of
215
aldehyde formation and thermal stress-induced changes, a HCA was performed on these
216
aldehyde markers together with PV and TBARS. Twelve aldehydes were divided into three
217
clusters, named as A1, A2, and B based on the branching of dendrogram and their kinetic
218
patterns in the heat map (Figure 2C). The TBARS was grouped with cluster A1 aldehydes, while
219
PV was separated from others in the dendrogram due to its distinctive pattern of change (Figure
220
2C).
221 222
Quantitative analysis of these aldehyde markers further confirmed the conclusions on the kinetics
223
of individual aldehydes from the PCA and HCA models (Figure 3A-L), and the results can be

224
summarized as follows: (1) 2,4-Decadienal (I) was the most abundant among all identified
225
aldehydes (Figure 3A); (2) Concentrations of cluster B aldehydes, including 2,4-heptadienal (X),
226
2-heptenal (XI), and acrolein (IX), peaked at 30 min of heating at 185ºC and decreased thereafter
227
(Figure 3I-K); (3) In contrast to cluster B aldehydes, concentrations of aldehydes belonging to
228
clusters A1 and A2 (I-VIII) increased continuously at 185ºC (Figure 3A-H). The increases of
229
cluster A1 aldehydes, including hexanal (VIII), pentanal (VII), 2,4-decadienal (I), and 2-octenal
230
(VI), were attenuated after 1 h of heating at 185ºC while the increases of cluster A2 aldehydes,
231
including 2,4-undecadienal (IV), 2-decenal (III), 2-undecenal (II), and 4-HNE (V), were more
232
sustained (Figure 2C and 3A-H); (4) Different from other aldehydes, pentanal (VII) and hexanal
233
(VIII) existed in detectable amounts in CSO (Figure 3G-H), while 4-HNE (V) was formed at a
234
relatively constant rate (r2 = 0.99) during heating at 185ºC (Figure 3E). Overall, the total
235
aldehyde concentrations in HSO, which is the sum of all eleven identified aldehydes, had a
236
similar kinetic profile with cluster A1 aldehydes (Figure 3L). More importantly, analyzing the
237
relative abundance of three aldehyde clusters in the total aldehydes indicated that the percentage
238
of cluster A1 was relatively stable across 6 h of heating while the increase of cluster A2
239
aldehydes as a proportion of total aldehydes was accompanied with a decrease of cluster B
240
aldehydes (Figure 3M). The opposite trends of changes between cluster A2 and B aldehydes
241
were further reflected by the values of A2/B ratio, which were in a good linear correlation (r2 =
242
0.96) with the duration of thermal stress (Figure 3N).

LC-MS-based chemometric analysis of thermal stress-induced production of aldehydes in
245
frying oils and their distribution in French fries.

246
Soybean, corn and canola oils are three widely used vegetable oils for preparing fried food. To
247
understand the distribution of aldehydes in these frying oils and fried foods, soybean, corn and
248
canola oil samples collected before and during heating (0, 30, and 360 min at 185ºC) and ten
249
French fry oil extract samples were derivatized by HQ and then compared by LC-MS-based
250
chemometric analysis. The distribution of control oils, HSO, heated corn oil (HCO) and heated
251
canola oil (HCAO) samples in the scores plot of a PCA model indicated that progressive and
252
time-dependent changes in the chemical composition occurred in all of these oils (Figure 4A).
253
More importantly, changes in HCAO were greatly different from that in the other two oils, while
254
the changes in HCO and HSO were relatively comparable (Figure 4A). The aldehydes
255
contributing to the separation of three frying oils in the PCA model were identified as two groups
256
of compounds in the loadings plot (Figure 4B), in which 2-undecenal (II), 2-decenal (III), and
257
2,4-heptadienal (X) were better correlated to HCAO while 2,4-decadienal (I), hexanal (VIII), and
258
2-heptenal (XI) were better correlated to HSO and HCO (Figure 4B). Another prominent feature
259
of this PCA model is the clear separation of French fry extracts from frying oils (Figure 4A). The
260
markers contributing to this separation were also identified in the loadings plot (Figure 4B) and
261
likely contained oxo fatty acids such as 8-oxo-octanoic acid based on elemental composition
262
analysis, MSMS, and database search (data not shown). This observation suggests that the
263
chemical composition of French fry extracts was greatly different from that of heated oils.
264 265
The concentrations of aldehydes (I-XI) in three heated oils and ten French fry extracts were
266
further quantified. Consistent to the results of PCA modeling, the formation and distribution of
267
aldehydes differed greatly among the three heated oils, in which HCO had higher levels (P soybean > corn) (Figure 5I-J). As for 2-heptenal, it can be

338
generated from both linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid.6, 29 However, the results from this study
339
suggest that it shares a similar kinetic profile with acrolein and 2,4-heptadienal in HSO (Figure
340
3K).
341 342
Overall, combining the existing knowledge on the oxidative degradation of unsaturated fatty
343
acids, the observed kinetic profiles of aldehydes suggests strong correlations between individual
344
aldehydes and fatty acid precursors, and further supports the use of specific aldehydes and
345
aldehyde profiles as more accurate markers of thermal stress than PV and TBARS.
346 347
Potentials of using 4-HNE and aldehyde profiles as markers of thermal stress for heated
348
oils and fried foods. Chemometric modeling and quantitative analysis utilized in this study
349
offers an opportunity to examine the benefits and limitations of some existing oxidation
350
evaluation methods by comparing their kinetic profiles with the profiles of other aldehydes in
351
heated oils. Four common lipid oxidation markers associated with aldehydes, including PV,
352
TBARS, hexanal, and 2,4-decadienal,were evaluated. The kinetic profile of PV reflected the
353
transient increase of lipid hydroperoxides in soybean oil, but it differed from the profiles of
354
aldehyde LOPs greatly (Figure 1A and 2C). Thus, PV does not represent the actual oxidative
355
status of heated oil, especially after prolonged thermal stress. The plateauing of the TBARS
356
curve after 1 h of frying temperature also does not accurately reflect the actual status of forming
357
LOPs in HSO (Figure 1B and 2C). The kinetic profiles of hexanal and 2,4-decadienal were
358
similar to each other and also to the profiles of other linoleic acid-derived aldehydes in HSO
359
(Figure 2C), but differed from the profiles of aldehydes derived from oleic acid and α-linolenic
360
acid. Overall, these four aldehyde-associated markers, like many other established assays, only

361
target the oxidation products from specific degradation pathways, and thus cannot reflect general
362
oxidative status of heated oils.30, 31 Furthermore, the lack of a linear correlation (time vs level) in
363
the kinetic curves of these markers also diminishes their value as accurate indicators of the
364
length of time that oils have been subjected to thermal-stress conditions. It should be noted,
365
besides these aldehyde-associated markers, other markers, including total polar materials (TPMs)
366
and polymerized triglycerides (PTGs), are also commonly used to monitor the quality of frying
367
oils.8 Even though those markers were not evaluated in current study, a similar analysis of their
368
kinetic profiles in future studies will likely provide more insights on how well they can reflect
369
the progress of lipid oxidation in frying oils.
370 371
Novel information obtained from profiling aldehydes in this study provide some insights on how
372
to overcome the drawbacks of using traditional markers (i.e. PV, anisidine value, TOTOX value,
373
TBARS, hexanal, and 2, 4-decadienal assays). Among all examined aldehydes, 4-HNE is an
374
established marker of in vivo lipid peroxidation,20 and was only recently identified as a
375
secondary LOP in heated oil.32, 33 Compared to other identified aldehydes in this study, including
376
2,4-decadienal and hexanal, the concentration of 4-HNE in HSO had a greater linear correlation
377
with the duration of thermal stress (Figure 3E), suggesting that 4-HNE may be a more accurate
378
aldehyde marker to use when monitoring the oxidation status of soybean oil, than 2,4-decadienal
379
and hexanal. Moreover, 4-HNE was also detected in HCO and HCAO (Figure 5E), and its levels
380
in both oils increased progressively at three sampling time points (0, 30, 360 min when heated at
381
185ºC). Besides 4-HNE, the ratio between cluster A2 aldehydes and cluster B aldehydes (A2/B
382
ratio), also had a sound linear correlation with the duration of thermal stress in HSO (Figure 3N),
383
and had its value increased progressively at three sampling time points (0, 30, 360 min heating at
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

384
185 ºC) in HCO and HCAO (Figure 5N). Considering oleic acid and α-linolenic acid are major
385
contributors to A2 and B aldehyde clusters, respectively, the A2/B ratio reflects the sensitivities
386
of oleic acid and α-linolenic acid to oxidative degradation. Overall, these observations warrant
387
future studies on whether 4-HNE and A2/B ratio could function as general markers to assess
388
oxidative stress for diverse frying oils.
389 390
Human exposure to aldehyde LOPs is mainly through consuming fried foods which comprise
391
LOPs from both frying oils and inherent lipid content. To explore whether individual aldehydes
392
or aldehyde profiles could serve as effective markers of oxidative status in fried foods, the
393
concentrations and composition of aldehydes in the extracts of commercial French fry samples
394
were examined. The majority of aldehydes had their concentrations in French fry extracts far
395
below their concentrations in the heated oils prepared under current experimental conditions
396
(Figure 5A-F and J-K). Two events might contribute to this observation. One possibility is that
397
the solvent evaporation in preparation of French fry oil extracts, such as the use of nitrogen in
398
current study, might decrease the concentrations of volatile aldehydes. More importantly, the
399
concentration of aldehyde can be decreased by the reactions between unsaturated aldehydes in
400
frying oil and the chemical components of the potatoes, such as primary amines.34-36 Therefore,
401
the concentrations of these aldehydes (I-VI and X-XI) in French fries might not reflect the actual
402
oxidation status of oils used in cooking. However, the concentrations of pentanal (VII), hexanal
403
(VIII), acrolein (IX), and A2/B ratio were within the range of their values in the three heated
404
vegetable oils (Figure 5G-I and 5N). This selective retention of pentanal and hexanal in French
405
fries may be explained by the fact that these two saturated alkanals are much less reactive than
406
other unsaturated alkenals, alkadienals, and hydroxyalkenal in heated oils,20 while significant

Page 19 of 31

407
presence of acrolein in French fries may be attributed to its multiple sources, because acrolein
408
can be formed from carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids.37 As for the A2/B ratio, even
409
though the levels of aldehydes comprising A2 and B clusters differed greatly between heated oils
410
and French fry extracts (Figure 3 and 5), its values in French fry extracts were still of the same
411
magnitude as the ones in heated oils. The use of the A2/B ratio as an accurate marker for
412
evaluating frying oil residuals in fried foods needs to be further evaluated using more defined
413
experimental settings, such as measuring the kinetic profile of aldehydes in fried foods.
414 415
In summary, the kinetics of forming aldehydes in frying oils and the distribution of aldehydes in
416
French fries were defined by high-resolution LC-MS analysis and multivariate chemometrics in
417
this study. The results demonstrated the capacity of LC-MS-based chemometrics in both
418
comprehensive profiling and specific characterization of these LOPs, making it a robust platform
419
for monitoring lipid oxidation of heated oils and identifying effective markers. The observations
420
of temperature-sensitive and time-dependent aldehyde formation in frying oils indicated the
421
limitation of several traditional lipid oxidation assays for the lack of strong correlation with the
422
duration of thermal stress, and also suggested the potential of 4-HNE and aldehyde clusters
423
(A2/B ratio) as the markers of thermal stress for frying oils and fried foods.
