Md. Ruizlopez et al., STABILITY OF ALPHA-TROCOPHEROL IN VIRGIN OLIVE OIL DURING MICROWAVE-HEATING, Lebensmittel-Wissenschaft + Technologie, 28(6), 1995, pp. 644-646
The objective of this study has been to analyse the stability of a-toc
opherol in virgin olive oil when heated in a microwave oven and a fryi
ng pan, as well as the variation of acid value and peroxide value. The
samples used in the microwave heating showed a alpha-tocopherol reten
tion of 51% while the frying-pan heated samples showed 38%. (C) 1995 A
