Study on antioxidant activity of crude peanut oils and refined cottonseed oils from Burkina Faso

<abstract> <p>Vegetable oils are among the foodstuffs produced and consumed in abundance by population Burkina Faso. These edible nutrient sources for health. However, oxidation of is a phenomenon that leads to their degradation. Hence, objectives this study were determine antioxidants compounds, evaluate antioxidant activity vegetable Faso propose good manufacturing practices. Thus, 32 samples crude peanut refined cottonseed analyzed. α-Tocopherol was determined High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), total phenolic compounds DPPH spectrophotometry. The α-tocopherol averages 10.89 56.44 mg/100 g oils, respectively (<italic>p</italic> < 0.05). For 2.91 0.64 gallic acid equivalent inhibition percentages 17.97% 5.58% 0.05) oils. activity, 0.81 0.27 mg trolox/100 Cottonseed have highest levels while high activity. Vegetable contain acceptable oxidative stability health benefits consumer. biomolecules will be higher if production preservation conditions improved controlled. results could used future recommendations about human feeding programs Faso.</p> </abstract>
