For this study, the thermal degradation of palm, coconut, rice bran, and rapeseed (canola) oils was studied. Products formed during deep-frying were identified using chemical methods and these results were verified with those derived from FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) studies. Mathematically processed spectral data were analyzed in terms of the breaking of double bonds, the decomposition of the carotenoids, and the reduction of the C=O carbonyl group. Clearly visible changes in the position and intensity of some bands were used for explaining the structural changes in the studied oils. These changes prove that during the heating of the oils, decomposition of the plant fat into fatty acids appears, together with the reduction of the number of certain bonds (e.g., C=C, =C-H, and C=O) and cracking of the acylglycerol chains. The iodine values of the heated oils, determined from the FT-IR spectra measurements, show a significant decrease in their degree of unsaturation level. These effects, visible in the FT-IR spectra, confirm the chemical and structural changes derived from the chemical and physicochemical studies of the plant oils. The influence of heating time on the band intensity of proteins was also studied.
