Abstract

Experiments were carried out in order to compare the natural antioxidants in the acetonitril extracts of raw and baked seeds of Korean sesame and perilla by thin layer and gas chromatography. The sample was dissolved in n-pentane and extracted with acetonitril and the acetonitril extract was separated by thin layer chromatography using silica gel. The spots were detected by spraying with 2, 6 -dichloroquinone -4-chlorimide, phosphomolybdic acid and dimethylamine as chromogenic reagents. Natural antioxidant, such as ${\delta}-tocopherol$ detected in raw and baked sesame and perilla seed oil by TLC and sesamol was detected only in raw and baked sesame seed oil by GC.
