Me. Carlotti et al., INHIBITION OF LIPOPEROXIDATION OF LINOLEIC-ACID BY 5 ANTIOXIDANTS OF DIFFERENT LIPOPHILICITY, Die Pharmazie, 49(1), 1994, pp. 49-52
The efficacy of oxidation inhibition of five natural and synthetic ant
ioxidants (BHT, BHA, nordiidroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), quercetin and ru
tin) was studied in O/W emulsions. Linoleic acid was used as a referen
ce molecule; the reaction was initiated by an ate-compound. The k(AH)
characterizing the reaction of the antioxidant with the peroxyl radica
l decreases in the following order: k(AH(BHA)) > k(AH(BHT)) > k(AH(NDG
A)) > k(AH(quereetin)) > k(AH(rutin)).
