The most commonly used synthetic antioxidants in the food industry are butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ). Adverse effects of these synthetic antioxidants on human being have increased the focus on the research of natural antioxidants, which are particularly derived from plant sources. The natural antioxidants can be obtained from varieties of plants by adopting solvent extraction method.

To retard oxidation, the conditions that favor the initiation of oxidation should be eliminated by adding antioxidants. There are several antioxidants and those most commonly used are synthetics, such as tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), butylhydroxyanisole (BHA), butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) and propyl gallate (PG) [6]. The problems with these synthetic antioxidants are their high cost and toxicity [7]; emerging alternatives include antioxidants of natural origin obtained from fruits, spices, teas and flowers [9].

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) are synthetic antioxidants often used in biodiesel–diesel fuel blends. However, the phenolic compounds present in rosemary, oregano and basil can be substituted as natural antioxidants. The effects of natural antioxidants in edible oils have been explored in many research studies. According to Spacino et al. [35], few researchers have used natural antioxidants in biodiesel.
