Antioxidative Effect of Ascorbic Acid Solubilized in Oils via Reversed Micelles

Abstract
Ascorbic acid was solubilized in oils via reversed micelles using phosphatidyl choline as surfactant and water. The effect of the solubilized ascorbic acid on the oxidative stability of fish and soybean oils was investigated in terms of peroxide value in the absence and presence of rosemary extract or δ‐tocopherol. The autoxidation of the oils was greatly retarded with the ascorbic acid compared to the natural antioxidants used. The ascorbic acid also exerted a synergistic effect with δ‐tocopherol in fish oil.
