Abstract
Through monitoring Rancimat induction time (RIT), peroxide value (POV), and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) algae oil and walnut oil during accelerated storage, the effects of the single and the combinations of seven kinds of antioxidants involving ascorbyl palmitate (AP), phytic acid (PA), vitamin E (VE), antioxidant of bamboo leaves (AOB), rosemary extract, tea polyphenols (TP), and tea polyphenol palmitate (TPP) against lipid oxidation were evaluated. RIT, POV, and TBARS results showed that the DHA algae oil sample containing 600 mg/kg TPP revealed the strongest stability and the walnut oil sample containing 450 mg/kg TPP and 100 mg/kg TP revealed the strongest stability. Then, the shelf lives of two oils were predicted from the extrapolation of the linear regression model between Log RIT and temperature. Our results indicated that the optimal antioxidant could prolong the shelf lives of DHA algae oil and walnut oil by 2.31- and 7.74-fold, respectively.
