Summary: Radio wave treatment (approximately 50 kHz frequency) on the oxidative stability was evaluated in corn oil at 180 °C and chicken frying oil for 150 cycles. Radio wave treatment decreased moisture content and critical micelle concentration of lecithin in corn oil. Moisture content in frying oil remained higher when radio wave was treated for the first 30 frying cycles. Radio wave treatment prevented lipid oxidation significantly in corn oil heated at 180 °C when moisture was not added (P < 0.05). p‐Anisidine value and total polar material in chicken frying oils treated with radio waves were significantly lower than those of frying oils without radio wave treatment (P < 0.05). Radio wave treatment enhanced the stability of tocopherols in corn oil heated at 180 °C in the absence of moisture, while the reverse result was observed with moisture addition. Overall, radio wave treatment can be a useful tool to enhance the oxidative stability of frying oils by modifying their moisture content and tocopherol stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Effects of DOPC on lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidants were determined in bulk oils. • DPPH reactivity of ascorbyl palmitate increased by 10.22 times with DOPC addition. • DOPC significantly enhanced antioxidant activity of ascorbyl palmitate in corn oil. • Synergic effects of DOPC were not observed in bulk oils with α-tocopherol or ascorbic acid. Effects of 1,2-dioleoyl- sn - glycero -3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and moisture on the solubility of hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidants were evaluated in medium-chain triacylglycerol (MCT) by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) reactivity. Next, we assessed the oxidative stability of antioxidant-containing corn oil depending on the presence of DOPC. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of DOPC decreased when the moisture content was increased from 300 to 495 mg/kg oil and gradually increased when the moisture was further increased to 2122 mg/kg oil. As the DOPC concentration increased, the DPPH reactivity of ascorbyl palmitate in the control MCT increased by 10.23-fold, whereas that of the ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol was slightly affected both by the DOPC and moisture content. Presence of DOPC significantly increased the oxidative stability of ascorbyl palmitate-containing corn oil (p < 0.05), whereas these synergistic antioxidant effects were not observed in ascorbic acid-or α-tocopherol-containing corn oil. In conclusion, DOPC displays a synergistic antioxidant effect with ascorbyl palmitate in bulk oil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
