Neutral Lipids of Common Borage (Borago officinalis L.) Seeds: Stability to Oxidation During Long-Term Storage

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

The stability to oxidation during long-term storage of neutral lipids of common borage (Borago officinalis L.) seeds was studied. The organoleptic indices and contents of pigments and fatty acids remained almost unchanged for two years. The antioxidant activity of neutral lipids (NL) and polar lipids (PL) of B. officinalis seeds was determined using a model of radical chain oxidation of methyl oleate. Both NL and PL were found to contain antioxidants suppressing the oxidation of methyl oleate. The antioxidant activity and antioxidant content in NL were greater than those in PL of B. officinalis seeds. Long-term storage of B. officinalis seed oil was possible because of the presence of the antioxidant a-tocopherol.
