Abstrakt: Relative values for the carotene-stabilizing effects in mineral oil solutions of a number of bisphenol derivatives were determined. Certain relationships between molecular structure and antioxidant activity were observed. Alkyl substitutions in the reactive ortho and para positions were shown to improve the stabilizing efficiency of the compounds studied. High activities were obtained with bisphenols linked by methylene or sulfur. Several of the most effective antioxidants were found to be also effective for stabilizing carotene in alfalfa meal.
