The essential fatty acids are one of the vital nutrients to be
included in the diet. However, they are susceptible to #autoxidation and
maintaining their stability during storage is a foremost problem.
Synthetic antioxidants used at present are reported to be toxic in
nature. Hence, there is a demand from consumers for foods containing
natural #antioxidants. Various natural products like clove oleoresin,
#capsicumoleoresin and kalonji seeds are known to show substantial #antioxidantactivity. Their activity can be improved by studying
structural aspects and evaluating their synergism. The current
investigation aims to fractionate clove oleoresin by means of column
chromatography isolating the #eugenol rich fraction. Though clove
oleoresin showed pro-oxidant effect, its eugenol rich fraction showed
marginal antioxidant activity in sunflower oil. The clove oleoresin and
capsicum oleoresin, both showed good antioxidant activity in synergism
with kalonji seeds extract. The study indicated the #synergisticpotential of natural antioxidants to be used as a substitute for
synthetic antioxidants.
