RNSandSCENTS Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I purchased some safflower oil at the market. When I got home and read the ingredients, it says Expeller pressed safflower oil, tocopheryl acetate and dl tocopherol (vitamin e). In all my MANY hours of reading here and couple of other places, it has been said that vitamin e retards oils turning rancid so I am thinking its just in here to extend the shelf life. Is this ok to use in b&b? I am figuring yes but just thought I'd ask you first. The bottle was $2 for 32oz, its being discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 yes it's ok. in fact many here add a touch of the stuff to extend the shelf life of our products... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNSandSCENTS Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Thanks CareBear! In all my reading, I never read about putting Vit E in your stock oils to extend the shelf life.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 vitamin E, aka tocopherols, are antioxidants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 if its not the high oleic type, then that may explain the addition of vitamin e. high oleic versions have a much longer shelf life then regular types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
