Accelerated lipid peroxidation inhibitory effects of garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) on linoleic acid was experimented. Linoleic acid was oxidized at 60 0C in the dark for 14 days in the absence and presence of garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1% as compared with α-tocopherol. The peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), and p-anisidine value were determined. Garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) significantly (p<0.05) reduced the accelerated linoleic acid peroxidation and it was concentration dependence. Garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) reduced the formation of lipid peroxide and aldehyde products as showed by the lower values of PV, TBARS and p-anisidine values as compared to its control counterpart. These results indicated that garcinia kola extract (kolaviron) could be useful in preventing oxidative damages of food oils.
