Antioxidant Activity of White Wine Extracts and Some Phenolic Acids Toward Corn Oil Oxidation

Abstract

The ability of white wine extracts and some phenolic acids to inhibit corn oil oxidation was evaluated by monitoring the absorbance at 234 nm and the p‐anisidine value. Wine extracts, each at 120 mg/L total phenolics, were tested in corn oil stripped of tocopherols kept at 50C. Two extracts rich in phenolic acids significantly inhibited oil oxidation, the most active being equivalent to butylated hydroxyanisol (BHA) at 200 mg/L. Moreover, four phenolic acids were tested in corn oil stripped of tocopherols kept at 50C and in edible corn oil kept at 110C. Gallic acid and caffeic acid, each at 80 mg/L, appeared to be stronger antioxidants than BHA at 200 mg/L. The present results indicate that some white wine phenolics, such as phenolic acids, may be strong antioxidants in corn oil. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of gallic acid and caffeic acid indicates their potential application in corn oil. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The antioxidant activity of white wine phenolic extracts toward corn oil oxidation and the characterization of active phenolic compounds may be useful in developing nutrient antioxidants for corn oil. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of gallic acid and caffeic acid indicates their potential application in corn oil.

Antioxidative effects of some phenolic compounds and carotenoids on refined hazelnut oil

“…Alamed et al (2009) studied antioxidative effect of some acids and they reported that the order was ferulic acid [ coumaric acid [ gallic acid. The ability of four phenolic acids to inhibit corn oil oxidation was evaluated at 50°C by Roussis et al (2008). They determined strong inhibition effect of gallic and caffeic acid in corn oil.…”

A response surface methodology study on the effects of some phenolics and storage period length on vegetable oil quality: change in oxidation stability parameters

“…Freeman et al (2010) investigated the synergistic and antagonistic interactions of phenolic compounds present in navel oranges and reported that many antagonistic effects were observed on the oxygen radical absorbance capacity when combinations of 2, 3, or 4 phenolic compounds were used. Roussis et al (2008) investigated the effect of some phenolics on the oxidative stability of corn oil and concluded that the gallic acid and caffeic acid showed strong inhibitory effects on the formation of oxidation. As can be seen from Table 3, the peroxide values of samples increased to 393.95 meqO 2 / kg oil.…”
