Abstract
The present study investigates oxidative stability using the Rancimat and the Schaal oven test of blends of various edible oils with medium chain triacylglycerols containing natural antioxidants extracted from moringa leaves and pomegranate peel. The moringa leaves and pomegranate peel extract yield was 19.8% and 44.6% respectively whereas the antioxidant activity quantified using the DPPH radical scavenging activity was 95.1% and 92.5% respectively at loading of 900 ppm of extract. The natural extracts also demonstrated efficient antimicrobial activity. The stability of blends was assessed in terms of peroxide value, and using the shall oven test and rancimat study. It was clearly demonstrated that the natural extracts retarded the rate of oxidation in the blends at ambient temperature and also at elevated temperature. In addition, the induction time for rancimat study was higher in the presence of natural extracts demonstrating enhanced shelf life of the blends. Overall, it was clearly demonstrated that natural antioxidants could substitute harmful and carcinogenic chemical antioxidants.
