A natural antioxidant for stabilizing polyunsaturated oils is disclosed. This oil-soluble antioxidant is prepared by dissolving ascorbic acid in a polar solvent, dissolving phospholipid in a non-polar solvent and then mixing the ascorbic acid solution with the phospholipid solution. After removing the solvent a product is formed which has anti-oxidant properties and is soluble in non-polar solvents. |
