Abstract
Accelerated lipid peroxidation inhibitory effects of garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) on linoleic acid was experimented. Linoleic acid was oxidized at 60 0C in the dark for 14 days in the absence and presence of garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1% as compared with α-tocopherol. The peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), and p-anisidine value were determined. Garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) significantly (p
Highlights
One of the principal causes of food quality deterioration is the oxidation of unsaturated lipids initiated by free radicals (Hras et al, 2000)
Suspected health risk of synthetic antioxidants and a low thermal stability of natural antioxidants like tocopherol have encouraged the interest for searching alternative natural antioxidants (Madsen and Bertelsen, 1995)
Eboh et al./ World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences,2020, 01(03), 010–014 inflammatory effects of kolaviron in chemically-induced toxicity, animal models of diseases and in cell culture (Abarikwu et al, 2012, Adedara et al, 2013, Farombi et al, 2013 and Eboh et al 2016). In view of these considerations, the functional health effect of garcinia kola extract in protecting against linoleic acid oxidation would be of current interest
Summary
One of the principal causes of food quality deterioration is the oxidation of unsaturated lipids initiated by free radicals (Hras et al, 2000). Synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and tertiary butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) are widely used to prevent the oxidation of oils and fats and extend the shelf-life of lipidcontaining foods In recent years, their use in foods has suffered severe criticism such as their carcinogenicity and toxicity (Padmashree et al, 2007). Eboh et al./ World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences,2020, 01(03), 010–014 inflammatory effects of kolaviron in chemically-induced toxicity, animal models of diseases and in cell culture (Abarikwu et al, 2012, Adedara et al, 2013, Farombi et al, 2013 and Eboh et al 2016) In view of these considerations, the functional health effect of garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) in protecting against linoleic acid oxidation would be of current interest
