Abstract
This paper presents a literature review that evidences the importance of the
natural antioxidant substances, used as food preservatives, aiming the reduction
of oxidative processes in foods containing oils or fats. The most usual methodologies
were described in details in the obtention of natural antioxidants, including the
conventional extraction with organic solvents, beyond the extraction under reduced
atmosphere (also known as supercritical extraction). Also, the variables that have
influence in the antioxidant activity of the extracted compound were studied. It
was verified that the polarity of the solvent, the time and the temperature of the
extraction need accurate control. The researches demonstrated that all the employed
methods present limitant factors, having to be selected the most adjusted, in
accordance with type of composition to be extracted.
