Utilization of potato peels extracts as a natural antioxidant in palm olein

Abstract

Atmospheric oxidation is the most important cause of deterioration in all lipids and which also can cause the reduction of the shelf life of many products. The purpose of the project is to study the effects of ethanolic extract subfractions on the oxidative stability of palm olein. In the study, the potato peels were extracted as a new source of natural antioxidant and added to palm olein in order to prevent the deterioration of palm olein as well as to extend the shelf life of the palm olein by inhibiting the autooxidation process.
