ABSTRACT
The antioxidative activity and synergistic effects of skullcap extracts and other natural compounds (α-tocopherol, β-carotene, citric and ascorbic acid) were evaluated in sunflower oil-in-water emulsion during storage at 50°C in the light exposure (3600-3900 lx). The oxidation process was followed by measuring the formation of primary (peroxide value) and secondary (TBARS) oxidation products, which were monitored during periods of storage. Flavones of skullcap (S) actively protected the sunflower oil-in-water emulsion during storage. Synergistic mixtures: flavones of S and α-tocopherol, β-carotene, citric and ascorbic acid exhibited stronger antioxidative properties than single components of these mixtures or synergists alone but weaker than flavones alone.
Key words: skullcap, antioxidant, synergism, sunflower oil-in-water emulsion, storage in light.
