Peroxidation of linoleic acid was initiated by azobis(isobutyronitrile) in tert ‐butyl alcohol and inhibited by α‐tocopherol, β‐carotene and retinal, either alone or in combination. Significant antioxidant synergism and a novel mutual protection of α‐tocopherol and β‐carotene were found and the possible involvement of retinal in the process is discussed.
