Abstract

A new method is described for the evaluation of antioxidants. Oxygen uptake by autoxidizing methyl linoleate both with and without antioxidants is measured in the Warburg apparatus and reaction orders, reaction rate constants, and length of induction periods determined. Tenox's BHT and BHA and Griffith's G-16 are evaluated and compared.
