| Abstract: | Pro- and Antioxidants in the Field of Fats XXV: Their Localisation in Seeds, Fruits and Potatoes Antioxidative action of various plant extracts on highly purified linseed oil and methyl linoleate was determined. Extracts from the peripheral zones of different fruits possess the maximum oxidation inhibiting action, which depends on the variety and the period of storage. The flavonol quercetin occurs in the flesh of onions as glycoside and not in free state. In connection with the stability of potato products during storage, the lipid content and the distribution of lipids between starch and protein of the potatoes are determined. The scope of a possible utilization of the antioxidants present in the potato skins is discussed. |
