Data on oxidative stability and elemental analysis of Brazilian sunflower oils used as healing agents

This dataset article provides information on analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), oxidative stability, as well as Ultraviolet-Visible and Visible absorption spectra of five samples of Brazilian oils used in the treatment of wounds. Five brands of Brazilian companies that sell sunflower oils used as healing agents were selected. In detail, the dataset presents: 1- The fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) ere analyzed by gas chromatography (Thermo Fisher Scientific, FOCUS GC) to obtain their individual peaks. 2- The oxidative stability of the oils was evaluated by Rancimat 893 method (Metrohm Co, Basel). The Rancimat analysis to determine the oxidation stability of oils (fatty acid methyl ester, FAME) was carried out in accordance with EN 14112, EN 15751 and EN 16568 standards. 3- Thermogravimetry (TG), Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) data were performed using TGA Q-50 equipment (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) and DSC-Q20 equipament, coupled to an RCS90 refrigeration system (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA). Graphs were obtained using Universal Analysis Software. 4- Ultraviolet-Visible and Visible absorption spectra were obtained using a Multiskan SkyHigh Microplate Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific).
