Investigating the Relationship between Antioxidants and Fatty Acid Degradation Using a Combination Approach of GC-FID and Square-Wave Voltammetry.

ABSTRACT: Analytical methodology for direct investigation of antioxidant systems continues to be a pressing research area. Consumer demand for natural products requires an increase in natural antioxidants; thus, fast, high-throughput, and cost-effective screening methods are in demand. In this study, square-wave voltammetry and gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) were used in conjunction to monitor antioxidant and fatty acid degradation, respectively, during the accelerated degradation of an omega-3 fatty acid sample. Butylated hydroxytoluene, sesamol, and rosemary extract were investigated as antioxidants. It was determined that voltammetry could be used to monitor the reduction in oxidation current, which provides a direct assessment method for the reduction of native antio
