| Abstract: | Effects of processing on constituents of seal blubber oil and that of squalene on oxidative stability of several oils were monitored. The content of α-tocopherol in oil decreased during processing, especially at the bleaching and deodorization steps. There was also a concurrent reduction in the contents of squalene and free fatty acids, especially during deodorization. Oils treated with squalene did not show any improved oxidative stability and in some cases were even less stable. |
