Oxidative stability of lipid fractions extracted from sponge-fat cakes enriched with green tea extracts and synthetic antioxidant (BHA) directly after baking 28 days storage was investigated. This achieved by the determination peroxide (PV), p-anisidine (p-AnV) acid values (AV), using Rancimat test or differential scanning calorimetry method, respectively. The results showed that containing addition BHA (0.02%) extract at concentrations 1% exhibited a greater resistance to oxidation than...
