“…Synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs) are frequently used because of their availability, low cost, high efficiency, and stability (Amlashi et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2016). The most common SPAs, which are used alone or in combination, in oil are propyl gallate (PG), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), and butylated hydroxyltoluene (BHT) (Chen et al, 2013;Ding & Zou, 2012).
