Abstract: The rate of decrease of the total tocopherol content of shea fat with autoxidation has been studied. The results have showed a close relationship between natural antioxidant depletion and the formation of peroxides. In the initial stages of autoxidation, tocopherols are used up very fast in preferential oxidation until it reaches a level when a second phase of autoxidation sets in. During the latter period, there is not much significant change in the residual tocopherol level
