The components responsible for increased stability of raw peanut oil at a high relative humidity (RH) of 91% were examined in peanut oil and methyl linoleate systems. Of the constituents, the native gums, which were mostly phospholipids and glycolipids, showed increased antioxidant activity at 91% RH. The isolated components of the gums, namely phospholipids and glycolipids, were prooxidant individually or in combination. Tocopherols did not show increased antioxidant activity at 91% RH.
