The present invention concerns an antioxidant combination of at least tocopherols, carnosic acid and hydrolysable gallotannins, wherein: the amount of tocopherols is less than about 500 ppm, and the ratio of carnosic acid:hydrolysable gallotannins ranges from about 1:4 to about 3:1. The present invention also concerns an antioxidated fat-containing composition comprising this antioxidant combination. The present invention also concerns a method for enhancing the antioxidant effect of tocopherols in a fat-containing composition, as well as the use of the antioxidant combination for enhancing the antioxidant effect of tocopherols in a fat-containing composition.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to oil and water emulsions including antioxidants. The emulsion can include an oil-phase; an aqueous-phase; an extract including carnosic acid, carnosol, or a mixture thereof; an extract containing rosmarinic acid; and an emulsifier.

Stabilized oils including an canola oil including EPA and/or DHA and an oil-soluble antioxidant composition comprising rosemary extract and least one of green tea extract, lecithin, and sesamol. The stabilized oils may have an Oxidative Stability Index (OSI) at 110 C. of at least 5 hours.

Lipid composition comprising unsaturated lipids such as omega 3 and omega 6, antioxidants and phyllosilicate particles, wherein the phyllosilicate particles are clusters of sheets, wherein said antioxidants comprise water-soluble antioxidants dissolved in the water adsorbed in the phyllosilicate sheets and wherein the phyllosilicate sheets are dispersed in the composition by an amphiphilic dispersant adsorbed on the surface of the phyllosilicate particles.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising vegetable oil, caramel and one or more phenolic compounds. The caramel and one or more phenolic compounds together prevent oxidation of the vegetable oil, such that the amount of EDTA in the composition can be reduced. The caramel has been heated such that it does not impart a dark colour to the composition. The invention also relates to a method to prepare the composition. Finally the invention relates to use of caramel and one or more phenolic compounds to decrease the oxidation of vegetable oil.

Disclosed are methods of making a modified lecithin by conducting an enzymatic conversion of a naturally derived lecithin to form a modified lecithin, e.g., having an enhanced level of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, or a combination thereof. Compositions prepared from the modified lecithin and use to inhibit lipid oxidation are described.

There is described an edible oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil, having an increased polyphenolic content, thereby an increased shelf-life, while maintaining the organoleptic characteristics unaltered, particularly a clear appearance. The edible oil of the invention is obtainable by a method which comprises the step of introducing a predetermined number of olives having a polyphenolic content ranging between 1000-3000 mg of polyphenols/kg of olives in a predetermined volume of oil. According to the method, the olives are preventively treated with an anti-mold agent, and are dehydrated, preferably by thermal treatment in an oven at a temperature ranging between 80 C. and 160 C., so as to achieve the elimination of a water amount ranging between 1% and 30%, preferably between 7% and 15%, more preferably of about 10%.

An oil and/or fat composition having a good meaty flavor and a grilled flavor. The oil and/or fat composition includes an oil and/or fat, sulfurol, and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol.

An agrochemical oil-based suspension is a product commonly used among liquid agrochemical products, and if a resin-made agrochemical container is employed as a container in which the agrochemical oil-based suspension is to be filled, the container may be deformed or broken during storage or shipping.

With focus on use of a specific antioxidant, the present invention provides a method for preventing deformation of a resin-made agrochemical container by preparing a chemically stable agrochemical oil-based suspension having oxidation of an oil component in the suspension suppressed, and filling the suspension in the resin-made agrochemical container.
