Abstract

For the utilization of polyunsaturated fatty acids in sardine (Sardinops melanosticta) oil, mainly as a source for dietary supplement of eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) and docosahe-xaenoic acid(DHA), the effects of refining and storage, conditions, and addition of stabili-zing agents on the storage stability of EPA condensed and refined sardine oil were tested. Refined, sardine oil deacidified, decolored, and deodorized, was more stable to autoxidation than crude or partially purified oils such as deacidified or/and decolored. The refined sardine oil must be kept at $5^{\circ}C$ or lower temperture for longer than two month storage. The addition of $0.018\%\;\alpha-tocopherol$ or BHT could enhance the stability to autoxidation, and EDTA or citric acid was useful as synergist. Especially the addition of $0.02\%$ citric acid to the oil still hot after deodorizing process ($125^{\circ}C$) was of benefit to stabilize the refined oil.
