Compositions may include long-chain organic molecules obtained from
natural oils, particularly plant, bean, seed and nut oils, and their
derivatives can be provided with increased oxygen stability by their
combination with mixtures of particular classes of antioxidants,
particularly combinations of at least one synthetic free-radical
terminating antioxidant. The stabilization combination is particularly
effective in combination with long-chain oils having less than 5%
methylene interrupted unsaturation and free-radical terminating
antioxidants present in an amount of from 0.001 to 5% or more by weight
of the long-chain oils. The long-chain oil may include a natural oil or
wax, such as Macadamia oil and its derivatives, Moringa oil and its
derivatives, Babassu oil and its derivatives, Meadowfoam oil and its
derivatives, and High Oleic Sunflower oil.
