Emulsions with oils rich in n-3 long chain fatty acids, undergo rapid oxidation reactions that may have adverse effects. Therefore, protection against oxidation is necessary. The efficacy of antioxidants with different hydrophobicities (gallic acid, GA; propyl gallate, PG; ascorbyl palmitate, AP; and a-tocopherol, TC) was evaluated in a 79% oil-in-water emulsion model rich in n-3 long chain fatty acids stabilized with either Tween 65 or Tween 80. Antioxidants efficacy was compared to their partitioning in the phases of the emulsion. The order of the antioxidant protection against peroxides and secondary oxidation products was the same as for the antioxidant partitioning in the water-oil interface: AP> GA> PG> TC. The antioxidant efficacy was influenced by antioxidant (p< 0.001), emulsifier (p< 0.001), and interactions of both factors (p< 0.001). AP was the most active antioxidant, while TC was the least active; it was apparently due to a cut-off effect because of its poor partitioning in the interface. The correlation analysis indicated a negative dependency between the oxidation and the partitioning of the antioxidants at the interface; R values of -0.66 and -0.75 were obtained for the peroxide and p-anisidine values, respectively. These results showed that the antioxidant activity is determined by the antioxidant partitioning at the interface, the hydrophobicity of the antioxidant, and the emulsifier.
