Abstract
Abstract Various kinds of fatty acid esters of l-ascorbic acid were synthesized and their role as chain-breaking antioxidant was studied in the oxidation of methyl linoleate in homogeneous solution. Fatty acid esters of ascorbic acid at either 6- or both 5- and 6-positions were effective as antioxidant and suppressed the oxidation of methyl linoleate, whereas those having ester group at 2-position did not act as antioxidant. 5,6-Erythorbyl dipalmitate was also effective as an antioxidant. Ascorbic acid esters inhibited the oxidation cooperatively with α- and δ-tocopherols as observed for free ascorbic acid. The antioxidant activity was correlated with the reactivity toward galvinoxyl radical.
