Application of Silibinin Oleate as a Nutraceutical Antioxidant for Improving the Quality of Sunflower Oil
). Strong correlations were observed between fatty acid degradation, FTIR indices, and oxidation parameters. Compared to the control, SIL-O inhibited oxidation in a dose-dependent manner. At 300 ppm, it outperformed BHT, demonstrating its potential as a natural antioxidant for enhancing the stability of sunflower oil during high-temperature processing.
