stabilisation of B- and y-tocopherols was also evident (Table 1).  The stabilising effect of the rosemary extract and the ascorbyl palmitate in reducing losses of a-tocopherol is particularly marked, and it is clear that the rosemary  extract was slightly more active than the ascorbyl palmitate at the concentrations used.
