“…Hundreds of synthetic and natural compounds were tested for their effectiveness as free radical scavengers. Synthetic antioxidants, such as tertiary butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), octyl gallate (OG), 2,4,5-trihydroxybutyrophenone (THBP), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and butylated hydroxyanisol (BHA) are used in edible vegetable oil to prevent rancidification, due to their high performance and low cost (Patil, 2013). However, some reports suggest that these chemical antioxidants have several disadvantages, they may be responsible for liver damage and carcinogenesis; hence the interest of using natural products in food industry has been increased (Kim, Kim, Lee, Yoo, & Lee, 2010).…”
