Mr. Luzia et al., EFFECT OF 5-CAFFEOYLQUINIC ACID IN THE PRESENCE OF METAL CHELATORS ONSOYBEAN OIL OXIDATIVE STABILITY, Lebensmittel-Wissenschaft + Technologie, 31(1), 1998, pp. 64-68
The antioxidant activity of 5-caffeoylquinic acid on soybean oil in th
e presence of phytic acid at concentration ranges of 50-400 mg/kg oil
or citric acid at 200 mg/kg oil was investigated The oil was stored at
55 degrees C for 6 d and monitored by peroxide and conjugated diene m
easurements. Both citric and phytic acids do not appear to provide any
synergistic effects with 5-caffeoylquinic acid. The results showed th
at 5-caffeoylquinic acid may act both as primary antioxidant and metal
chelator. (C) 1998 Academic Press Limited.
