Popis: The DSC scans of edible vegetable oils and of lard were measured by heating the samples up to 360 °C in an atmosphere of oxygen. The heating rates were in the range 5–20 °C min−1. From the resulting DSC exotherms, their extrapolated onset and peak maximum temperatures were determined and used for the assessment of thermal-oxidative stabilities of the samples and for calculation of activation energies. Two samples of highly rancid rapeseed and sunflower oils and eighteen samples of rapeseed oil inhibited with 2-(-butyl-4-methoxyphenol, 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol and propyl gallate were also studied. The onset oxidation temperatures of rancid oils were lowered by about 30–40 ° C compared with fresh oils. An improvement in the thermal-oxidative stability of inhibited rapeseed oil, judged from the onset oxidation temperatures, depends on the antioxidant used. For 2-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol and 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol, this improvement was practically negligible, but for propyl gallate a substantial increase in the stability of rapeseed oil was found.
