The Claim
The addition of an antioxidant mixture (propyl gallate, citric acid, propylene glycol, and BHA) to silage reduces lipid oxidation in oil extracted from saithe viscera with liver, as evidenced by lower peroxide value, p-anisidine value, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances compared to silage without antioxidants.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Adding a specific blend of antioxidants to fish silage lowers measurable signs of oil spoilage in the extracted oil compared to silage without these additives.
See the scientific wording
Adding an antioxidant mixture (propyl gallate, citric acid, propylene glycol, and BHA) to silage significantly reduces lipid oxidation in oil extracted from saithe viscera with liver, as measured by lower peroxide value, p-anisidine value, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances compared to silage without antioxidants.
Antioxidants stop fats from breaking down by grabbing harmful molecules that start the spoilage process, preventing the formation of rancid-smelling compounds and preserving the healthy fats.
What the research says
1 studyWhen scientists added common antioxidants like citric acid and propyl gallate to fish waste before turning it into oil, the oil stayed fresher longer and didn’t go rancid as quickly. This means the antioxidants worked exactly as the claim says they would.
