Abstract
Abstract Stabilization of carotenoid-containing edible oils at elevated temperatures is accomplished by the use of stabilizing amounts of lauryl thiodipropionate, dilauryl thiodipropionate, a tocopherol and mixtures thereof. The stabilized colored edible oils retain a large percentage of the coloration subsequent to heating at deep-fat frying temperatures as compared with the coloration of said edible oil prior to heating.
