Addition of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) to maize oil reduces lipid oxidation but does not prevent reductions in serum vitamin E in nursery pigs

Table 2 Lipid oxidation indices of maize oil used in the experiment

^aOils were sampled after manufacturing phase 1 and 2 diets (15 d after mixing phase 1 diets), and stored at −20 °C until analysis at the University of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station Chemistry Laboratory
^bAntioxidant = Rendox CQ (active ingredient is TBHQ; Kemin Industries, Des Moines, IA) was added at 1000 mg/kg in maize oil
^cMilliequivalents peroxide per kg of oil. W/W% = g/100 g of sample
^dTBARS = thiobarbituric acid reactive substances
^eMDA = malondialdehyde
^fAnV = p-anisidine value
