Abstract
In our experiments fatty acid composition was determined of cow's milk with the fat content of 3.6%, Dalia cheese with the fat content of 44%, butter with the fat content of 80% and margarine with the fat content of 24% after a heat treatment performed on a cooking plate and microwave treatment, of different duration. The biggest difference was obtained for oleic acid and elaidic acid since with the exception of margarine, in each case the proportion of the cisconfigurated oleic acid decreased while that of the trans-configurated elaidic acid increased. For all of the other fatty acids in the foodstuffs examined no such differences were obtained regarding change in fatty acid composition, which differences could considerably influence healthy nutrition, therefore we can take it as a fact that neither heat treatment performed on a traditional cooking plate nor microwave treatment affects considerably the composition of food fats.
