Effect of Soybean Lecithin on the Thermal Oxidation of Tocopherol in Blended Oil
The blended oil was prepared from cottonseed oil and palm olien. The oxidative stability of blended oil after the addition of natural tocopherol and soybean lecithin during heating was investigated and the effects of lecithin were evaluated. The result obtained were as follows: 1. When the concentration of palm olein in blended oil during heating was increased, the oxidative stability was improved. 2. By both addition of natural tocopherol and soybean lecithin during heating in blended oil, induction period was considerably increased and residual ratio of tocopherol was high. 3. The oxidative stability of potato chips prepared from blended oil was higher in the prsence of lecithin than in the absence of it.
