A model substrate oil using methyl linoleate was established for the determination of the antioxidant activity by Oil Stability Index (OSI) method. OSI values for methyl linoleate with different concentrations (5–100%) in silicone oil were measured at different temperatures (70–120°C). As the temperature increased, the OSI value decreased in each concentration of methyl linoleate. Optimal temperature and concentration of antioxidants, α‐tocopherol, and butylated hydroxytoluene on OSI values for 10% methyl linoleate model oil was measured at 90, 100, 110, and 120°C. The logarithmic relationship between temperature and OSI using model substrate oil was similar to that of soybean oil. Furthermore, application of some spice extracts to this model oil system was carried out to give results thhat compared well with those available in the literature. Thus, the procedure using methyl linoleate‐silicone oil as a model substrate oil is available for evaluating the antioxidant activity by the OSI method.
