A gas chromatographic method for the determination of the antioxidants bha, bht and ethoxyquin in aqueous and in hydrocarbon soluble samples

Atomic fluorescence flame spectrometric detection of palladium, titanium, zirconium, chromium, and aluminum using a hot hollow cathode lamp

“…Gas chromatography has been used by several workers with satisfactory results (5)(6)(7)(8). Present column technology (8) to perfect separation of the major antioxidants is now satisfactory so that elaborate separation schemes are no longer necessary.…”

An Evaluation of the Level of Synthetic Phenolic Antioxidants in Virgin Palm Oil

“…A number of analytical instruments and methods have been documented for the qualitative and quantitative determination of synthetic antioxidants in foods and edible oils. These methods include UV-visible photometry [6], [7], paper and thin-layer chromatography [8], gas chromatography [9]- [11], and liquid chromatography [12]. The sample extraction steps of most of the methods mentioned are time consuming and cumbersome.…”

“…Phenolic antioxidants are oxidized preferentially in fats or oils and protect the foods from spoilage. There are some reports about the possible carcinogenic effect of antioxidants like BHA, BHT, PG and EEMC in high doses and long-term use may have potential health risks [7]. Conversely, phenolic antioxidants are advocated as dietary supplements, which have antiviral properties and are useful against herpes and some family viruses [7].…”
