“…Concerning the type of tocopherols, the relative stability of a-, β-, g-and d-tocopherol at high temperatures has been studied in detail and there is agreement that a-tocopherol is less stable than d-tocopherol, while β-and g-tocopherols would degrade at intermediate rates (Yoshida et al, 1991a(Yoshida et al, , 1991b(Yoshida et al, , 1992(Yoshida et al, , 1993Gordon and Kourimska, 1995a;Lampi and Kamal Eldin, 1998;Barrera Arellano et al, 1999. In this respect, new sunflower lines that contain g-tocopherol as the major natural antioxidant instead of a-tocopherol, which is characteristic of standard sunflower oil, are of special interest (Demurin et al, 1996;Velasco et al, 2004;Marmesat et al, 2008).…”
