Abstract:
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as preservatives add with variable concentrations to corn oil to may
improve the shelf life. AuNPs was prepared by pyrolysis in oleic acid then sample was characterized
by transmission electron microscope and UV spectroscopy. Rancidity analyses and
microbiological properties were performed through storage periods. The results showed that
AuNPs decreases total bacterial count and chemical analyses except iodine value but shelf life
increases compared to control sample.
