Fat/Lipid soluble antioxidants

Hi Guys,

I've been using citric acid, ascorbic acid for their antioxidants properties; but these guys are water soluble. And there exist some lipid soluble antioxidants as well.

I would assume these lipid soluble ones would help more in working with unsaturated fats. What do you think?

Do you know any food safe lipid soluble antioxidants and how to use/extract them? I know carotene and there are already some recipes on working with carrots and oils to extract the carotene.

Any more ideas?

Examples of fat-soluable aox are vitamin A, vitamin E, carotenoids and lipoic acid. I'm sure there's plenty to find about which are food safe and in what dose to use them.

Tocopherols.

I've read a bit about them as food addivities. They are classified as E306 to E309. They are considered food-safe up to 2 mg/kg body weight; however it notes that applications are limited due to the strong flavour it imparts. I wonder how the taste is

Hi Martin, I think the most interesting one seems to be the lipoic acid. And apparently green peas are a good source for it...

Now I'm thinking of the pea butter from the modernist cuisine... Maybe that can be good source to obtain lipoid acid from green peas and I can use it in combination with some unsaturated fats.
