However, after steam distillation, the deodorized plant material is rejected, despite the possible presence of bioactive compounds. Ethanolic thyme waste extract revealed the presence of benzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and sinapic acid. This waste thyme extract had the capacity for preventing the formation of primary and secondary lipid oxidation products in emulsions O\/W (oil in water), constituted by diverse proportions of wheat and almond oils, without interfering with the viscosity parameters, for 10 weeks, at 37 \u00b0C. The increasing proportion of almond oil (\u226550%) in the emulsion increases its resistance to oxidation, which is improved with the presence of an optimal concentration of tested thyme waste extract (0.02% and 0.04%). The waste thyme extract can, therefore, be used as an antioxidant either in food or pharmaceutical emulsions O\/W, replacing the synthetic antioxidants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox8080243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,26]],"date-time":"2019-07-26T08:45:39Z","timestamp":1564130739000},"page":"243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Antioxidant Activity of Thyme Waste Extract in O\/W Emulsions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Souka\u00efna","family":"El-Guendouz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology-Pharmacology-Environmental Health, Faculty of Sciences Dhar El Mehraz, BP 1796 Atlas, University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdallah, Fez 30 000, Morocco"},{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica e Farm\u00e1cia, MeditBio, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia, Universidade do Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9339-8999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Smail","family":"Aazza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Phytochemistry, National Agency of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (ANPMA).
