Fluorescent probe to quantify lipid-derived electrophiles in edible oils

Analyst, 2024, 149,5255-5264
DOI: 10.1039/D4AN00780H, Paper
Lucille Kuster, Priscilia Diane Mamboundou, Asma Boushih, Yasmine Rassi, Alexandre Benoît, Samuel Parent-Vézina, Michel Lord-St-Vincent, Jean-Philippe Guillemette, Mathieu Frenette
Edible oils oxidize in air to form a variety of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl containing products collectively called ‘lipid-derived electrophiles’. A commercially available “turn-on” fluorescent probe 7-mercapto-4-methylcoumarin is used to quantify ‘electrophilic content’ in oil-containing foods.
