An inexpensive, natural antioxidant was developed for stabilizing flaxseed and bahera oils, which are readily available and consumed in large quantities for their EFA in India, Asia, and also parts of the Western world.

After storage of the oils for a year in the presence of antioxidant, the ordor, taste, and chemical properties of the oil were the same.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
