Abstract

Natural antioxidants are used as food ingredients because these are safer than synthetic antioxidants. Antioxidant effects of some meal acetone extracts were tested in stabilizing refined cotton oil (RCO). Here, we have explored the antioxidant potential of meal extracts (sesame and sunflower). RCO was mixed with both meal extracts at different concentrations and kept at 50°C, for their assessment with synthetic antioxidants used as positive controls; propyl gallate (PG) and tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) at a concentration of 200 ppm. The result showed that both meal extracts could lower the values of various parameters of oil such as total oxidation, conjugated diene (CD), p-anisidine, and peroxide value when the results were analyzed after 120 days of their storage. Seasme meal extract displayed better result in comparision to sunflower meal extract as it showed lower CD value at 500 ppm (34.46±0.02) in comparison to sunflower extract at 500 ppm (42.6±0.04).
