Stability of natural oils used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
 Milerová, Helena ; Enev, Vojtěch (referee) ; Hurčíková, Andrea (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the issue of stability of selected plant oils used in the cosmetic industry. Six oils were subjected to analysis using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which determined the oxidation onset temperatures for all samples. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the use of the DSC method for obtaining data on the thermo-oxidative stability of plant oils. For comparison, the samples were also measured using the Rancimat method, a commercially established procedure in which the samples were exposed to elevated temperature using air flow. The results yielded induction periods, which indicate the time until the sample starts to oxidize. After measuring the samples using both methods, the oils were ranked according to their oxidative stability from the most stable to the least stable. The resulting sequences from both methods were nearly identical. DSC has proven to be a suitable method for measuring the thermo-oxidative stability of plant oils.
