Abstract:Taking the 5 kinds of polyphenols, including propylgallate, quercetin and etc., to evaluate the oxidation stability of oil-tea camellia seed oil during heating by the Rancimat and drying oven methods were used, the effects of exogenous polyphenols on the oxidation stability of oil-tea camellia seed oil were studied at 180 ℃. Results: The reduction times were prolonged as the concentrations of polyphenols increased; and propyl gallate had the best antioxidant effect. During the heating process at 180 ℃, the 5 kinds of polyphenols retarded the increase of acid value with no significant different among the polyphenols (P>0.05). Peroxide value, p-anise value, and carbonyl value were inhabited with significantly difference among the polyphenols (P<0.05). The factors indicate that the selected polyphenols had the antioxidant activity on oil-tea camellia seed oil during heating.
