CA, caffeic acid; CAPE, caffeic acid phenethyl ester; α-TO, α-tocopherol; AP, ascorbyl palmitate.
1)Tocopherol retention (%) = [(Initial SBO tocopherol content-tocopherol content of each heating time) / initial SBO tocopherol content] × 100.
2)α-TO(%) = [(Initial SBO tocopherol content + 200 ppm α-tocopherol)-(tocopherol content of each heating time) / initial SBO tocopherol content] × 100.Initially, SBO contains 114 ppm of α-tocopherol, 191 ppm of γ-tocopherol, and 14 ppm of δ-tocopherol.
