Formation and Oxidation Stability of Tea Polyphenols-Loaded W/O Microemulsion with Eucommia Ulmoides Oliver Seed Oil as an Alternative to α-linolenic Acid

摘要

Oliver seed oil ( oil) as a natural product is particularly rich in α-linolenic acid (56–63%) and vitamin E. The aim of this study was to prevent the premature oxidation and improve bioavailability and environmental resistance of oil in food industry. A novel biocompatible inverse oil microemulsion (ME) was developed using food grade ingredients and was able to incorporate tea polyphenols (TPs), a natural food antioxidant.
