| Popis: | Abstract The objective of seed extracts from Anisophyllea boehmii and Aframomum sanguineum were to evaluate their ability to stabilize against oxidation of oils exposed to sunlight on one hand and subjected to high temperatures on the other hand. Determination of the peroxide value (PV) showed that the extracts had reduced the oxidation of sunflower oils. After 8 weeks of sunlight exposure, the concentration of 265.45 mg/l of A. boehmii extract showed a PV of 30.78 meq O2/kg, 67.4 mg/l extract of A. sanguineum had a PV of 42.75 meq O2/kg while the oils without extracts had a very high PV (125.06 meq O2/kg). Heating of the oils to 180°C for 8 hours was found, with A. boehmii extract (265.45 mg/l), to have a PV of 29.66 meq O2/kg, with that of A. sanguineum, while the PV of the oils without extract reached 50.66 meq O2/kg. In the light of these results, the seeds of A. boehmii and A. sanguineum contain antioxydant compounds, which, once extracted, can be used for many purposes in the food processing, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. |
