Summary
1. Tocopherols have been found to be carry‐through antioxidants in lard.
2. Gamma tocopherol, which is a better antioxidant than alpha tocopherol, is also a better carry‐through antioxidant.
3. Higher levels of tocopherol provide increased carry‐through stability although the AOM stability of lard is decreased.
4. Combinations of BHA with tocopherol in lard provide increased carry‐through stability but do not increase the AOM stability.
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.
