Natural phenolic antioxidants to protect flaxseed oil from oxidation
Abstract
The aim of this work was to identify effective natural antioxidants (AO) for stabilizing flaxseed oil (FO), which is characterized by a high content of α-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid). Under conditions of accelerated oxidation at 100 °C, the values of the induction period and the efficiency of FO oxidation inhibition (stabilization factor F) were determined in the presence of additives of 0.02 wt. % of 26 natural phenolic compounds, as well as some known synthetic AO for comparison. The most effective AO were identified: gallic and caffeic acids, fraxetin, gossypol (F = 1.97–2.58). The AO activity of fraxetine, gallic and caffeic acids does not statistically significantly differ from the synthetic AO propyl gallate and ascorbyl palmitate and significantly exceeds the AO activity of butylated hydroxytoluene.The second group of natural AO, including sinapic acid, esculetin, and quercetin, showed lower efficiency in FO (F = 1.40–1.52). Other hydroxylated derivatives of benzoic and cinnamic acids, as well as coumarin, dicoumarol, curcumin and resveratrol showed low or no AO activity in FO. It was shown that the use of compositions of ascorbyl palmitate and natural phenolic AO, such as gallic acid, caffeic acid and fraxetine, allows to effectively inhibit FO oxidation, significantly increasing the stabilization factor (up to 3.77–4.18).
