This study evaluates the antioxidant activity of cannabidiol (CBD), added to model systems of refined olive (ROO) and sunflower (SO) oils, by measuring the peroxide value, oxidative stability index (OSI), electron spin resonance (ESR) forced oxidation, and DPPH center dot assays. Free acidity, a parameter of hydrolytic rancidity, was also examined. CBD was compared using the same analytical scheme with alpha -tocopherol. CBD, compared to alpha -tocopherol, showed a higher scavenging capacity, measured by DPPH center dot assay, but not better oxidative stability (OSI) of the oily systems considered. In particular, alpha -tocopherol (0.5%) showed an antioxidant activity only in SO, registered by an increase of more than 30% of the OSI (from 4.15 +/- 0.07 to 6.28 +/- 0.11 h). By ESR-forced oxidation assay, the concentration of free radicals (mu M) in ROO decreased from 83.33 +/- 4.56 to 11.23 +/- 0.28 and in SO from 19.21 +/- 1.39 to 6.90 +/- 0.53 by adding 0.5% alpha -tocopherol. On the contrary, the addition of 0.5% CBD caused a worsening of the oxidative stability of ROO (from 23.58 +/- 0.32 to 17.28 +/- 0.18 h) and SO (from 4.93 +/- 0.04 to 3.98 +/- 0.04 h). Furthermore, 0.5% of CBD did not lower dramatically the concentration of free radicals (mu M) as for alpha -tocopherol, which passed from 76.94 +/- 9.04 to 72.25 +/- 4.13 in ROO and from 17.91 +/- 0.95 to 16.84 +/- 0.25 in SO.
