To promote Choib¨˘ as source of edible oil is necessary to ensure its stability along the time of production, distribution and storage. Loss of nutritional and organoleptic quality in lipids is mainly due to lipid peroxidation reactions. The aim of this research was to evaluate the oxidative stability of Choib¨˘ oil at 100ˇăC ˇŔ 1ˇăC with aeration (1150 mL air/min) supplemented with rosemary extract (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), at 1000 mg/L (RE1000) and 1500 mg/L (RE1500), and with BHT (200 mg/L) and from this results to evaluate the degradation kinetics and shelf-life of Choib¨˘ oil at 35ˇăC, 45ˇăC and 55ˇăC without addition of antioxidants (Control) and with addition of best concentration of rosemary extract obtained from previous study. Progress in oil oxidation was measured through the extent of oxidation products: peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Results revealed that the addition of rosemary extract at 1500 mg/L significantly reduced de formation of hydroperoxides (PV), more than BHT. Through correlations between concentrations of antioxidant (including control without antioxidant) with peroxide values, the kinetics of degradation and shelf-life of Choib¨˘ oil with predictive models are evaluated in real time and accelerated (35ˇăC, 45ˇăC and 55ˇăC) using the Arrhenius equation. In addition, the oxidation reactions of this oil follow a first order kinetic model for PV and zero order kinetic model for TBARS. The rate of formation of PV was dependent on the storage temperature, according to the Arrhenius equation with the activation energy of 4611.5071 J/mol for Control and 7409.5771 J/mol for RE1500 treatment. The result of TBARS didnˇŻt adjust to Arrhenius model, thus measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA) wasnˇŻt a useful parameter for shelf-life determination of Choib¨˘ oil. %K < %K i> %K Dipteryx oleifera< %K /i> %K Oxidative Stability %K Shelf-Life %K < %K i> %K Rosmarinus officinalis< %K /i> %K Lipid Peroxidation %K Arrhenius %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=55328
