The effectiveness of adding sesame and sunflower meal acetone extracts to stabilize refined soybean oil (RSO) was investigated for 120 days at 50 °C. Sesame and sunflower meal acetone extracts were separately added at varying concentrations (500 ppm to 2000 ppm) to RSO. To compare their antioxidant activity, RSO was also supplemented with tertiary butylated hydroxy quinone (TBHQ) and propyl gallate (PG) at 200 ppm concentration. Control sample was also set-up that contained no additives. The conjugated dienes (CD), total oxidation value (TOTOX), thiobarbituric acid value (TBA), total tocopherol and carotenoids of RSO samples were monitored every 20 day using standard methods. Sesame and sunflower meal extracts at all concentrations were found to be more effective in stabilizing RSO against lipid oxidation than 200 ppm PG. TBHQ was most effective during storage period.
