The oxidation of methyl linoleate micelles has been studied, aiming at elucidating the effect of various variables, including surfactant type, pH and antioxidants. The progress of the methyl linoleate oxidation was evaluated by measurement of conjugated dienes hydroperoxides (CDHP) and malondialdehyde (MDA). It was shown that the oxidative stability of methyl linoleate micelles was influenced by surfactant type, with oxidative rate being greater in SDS micelles than in Tween 20 micelles. Besides, the methyl linoleate micelles at pH 6.8 had greater rates of lipid oxidation than their pH 3.0 counterparts. Moreover, the incorporation of VE and VC in the methyl linoleate micelles successfully slowed the formation of hydroperoxides and their subsequent decomposition product MDA. However, the antioxidant activities of VE and VC were related to their concentrations.
