title: Influence of natural and synthetic antioxidants on the degradation of Soybean oil at frying temperature.
abstract: The effect of several natural and synthetic antioxidants to retard the formation of polar compounds and thermo-oxidation at prolonged frying temperatures was studied. Antioxidants, including butyl hydroxyl toluene (BHT), ter-butyl hydroxyquinone (TBHQ), α- and γ-tocopherols, tocopherol mixture (α, β, γ and δ), sesamol, β-sitosterol, β-sitostanol, γ-oryzanol, curcumin, rosemary extract and sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) were tested in refined soybean oil without added any additives recovered from refinery. Rosemary extract and SAIB were showed a considerable effect on both polar compound formation and secondary oxidation. These compounds increased the oxidative stability of oil for more than 30 % compared to conventional synthetic antioxidants. Oils treated with SAIB showed higher color retention after 6 h heating compared to the oils added with BHT, TBHQ and tocopherols. Curcumin, sesamol and γ-oryzanol showed higher antioxidant potential compared to other antioxidants. Preliminary results obtained from this study have clearly demonstrated that SAIB and rosemary extracts are more commercially viable antioxidants to increase the stability of frying oils.
