antioxidant activity of nano-encapsulated free and bounded phenol

Nowadays, the use of natural antioxidants to increase the shelf life of foods has increased. In this study, kiwifruit peel extract was obtained by probe sonication at two intensities of 50 and 80% and ultrasonic bath. The free phenolic of bath ultrasound (265.88 mg/g), and bonded phenol in two intensities 50% (60.36 mg /g) and 80% (63.83 mg/g) had antioxidant activity in DPPH free radical scavenging method. Nano-encapsulated phenolic compound was performed using garden cress seed gum. All three nano-encapsulated phenols had nanometer size (146.5-172.3 nm) and negative zeta potential. In order to compare the antioxidant activity of free and bonded phenolic compounds nano-encapsulated phenols at 800 ppm and synthetic antioxidant TBHQ at 100 ppm were added to soybean oil without antioxidant. The samples were stored at 60 ° C for 40 days and tests were performed on the samples for 8 days intervals. The results showed that with increasing storage time, the amount of release and sedimentation of phenolic compounds increased. Oxidation of oil increased with storage time. The lowest and highest oxidation rates were observed in TBHQ and control samples, respectively. The use of bonded phenol at 80% intensity due to no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) with the sample containing synthetic antioxidant can be used as a natural antioxidant to extend the shelf life of the oil.
