“The combination of mixed tocopherols with PE presented the greatest increase in antioxidant activity with hydroperoxides and hexanal lag phases increasing 54 and 53 days compared to the mixed tocopherols alone.”
“The study indicates that PE is a powerful tool to increase the antioxidant activity of tocopherols in bulk oil and that modification of lecithin to increase PE concentration could be a commercially viable option to functionalize lecithin so that its ability to inhibit lipid oxidation increases in bulk oils.”
