Abstract: A study was conducted to detect and quantify lard stearin (LS) content in canola oil (CaO) using
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Authentic samples of CaO were obtained from a reliable supplier
and the adulterant LS were obtained through a fractional crystallization procedure as reported previously.
Pure CaO samples spiked with LS in levels ranging from 5 to 15% (w/w) were analyzed using DSC to obtain
their cooling and heating profiles. The results showed that samples contaminated with LS at 5% (w/w) level
can be detected using characteristic contaminant peaks appearing in the higher temperature regions (0 to
70℃) of the cooling and heating curves. Pearson correlation analysis of LS content against individual DSC
parameters of the adulterant peak namely peak temperature, peak area, peak onset temperature indicated
that there were strong correlations between these with the LS content of the CaO admixtures. When these
three parameters were engaged as variables in the execution of the stepwise regression procedure, predictive
models for determination of LS content in CaO were obtained. The predictive models obtained with single
DSC parameter had relatively lower coefficient of determination (R2 value) and higher standard error than
the models obtained using two DSC parameters in combination. This study concluded that the predictive
models obtained with peak area and peak onset temperature of the adulteration peak would be more
accurate for prediction of LS content in CaO based on the highest coefficient of determination (R2 value)
and smallest standard error.
