ofrancidity of coconut oil with and without additional antioxidants during the storage for 1 and 2 months. The results of this study were: there was no significant diffreance (P0,05) in the degree of
coconut oil rancidity at the beginning of the experimenteither with or without additional antioxidant. There was of significant differeance (P<0,05) in the degree ofrancidity between control and samples
added with the antioxidant BHT 0,01% and0,02% juring storage. It could therefore be concluded that the use of antioxidant TBHQ 0,01% was effective enough to prevent rancidity up to 2 month.
