Abstract
For the investigation of antioxidative effect of 2-BHA and its two oxidation products, the peroxide values of lard samples containing above compounds were measured by active oxygen method. Under the analytical conditions used in this experiment, 2-BHA and both of the oxidation products were effective in order of 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol > diphenyl ether compound > 3-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol > diphenyl compound. Antioxidative effect of these compounds were also estimated under solar and UV light irradiation and revealed to be in order of 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol > diphenyl compound > diphenyl ether compound.
