Resveratrol is a phenolic compound of the stilbene family present in wines and various parts of the grape, including the skin. In this study, the antioxidant and prooxidant activities of resveratrol were compared with other antioxidants (butylated hydroxytoluene [BHT], butylated hydroxyacetone [BHA], phenol, propyl gallate [PG], sodium tripolyphosphate [TPP], alpha-tocopherol, and vanillin) widely used in foods. The ability of these compounds to inhibit lipid peroxidation was as follows: BHA > resveratrol > PG > tripolyphosphate > vanillin > phenol > BHT > alpha-tocopherol, the first three inhibiting the peroxidation in a concentration-dependent manner. The order of OH* scavenger activity of the tested compounds was BHA > TPP > BHT. Resveratrol and vanillin produced between 10 to 7% and 16 to 10% inhibition of the deoxyribose attack, respectively, but they do not scavenge OH*. Neither the resveratrol analyzed nor PG or the rest of compounds reacted with H202 and must be considered inefficient in catalyzing any subsequent oxidation. The ability to scavenge HOCI was, in decreasing order, PG > resveratrol > alpha-tocopherol > phenol. The other compounds did not scavenge HOCl.

A small outbreak of toxic methemoglobinemia occurred among infants in a pediatric ward. Investigation revealed that the most likely source of toxicity was an approved fat preservative which had been added to a soybean infant formula by the manufacturer. This fat preservative contained three phenolic compounds having highly effective antioxygenic properties (butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene and propyl gallate). The outbreak ceased when the offending agents were eliminated from the food preparation. It is emphasized that the approval of chemicals for use in the food industry through toxicity studies does not necessarily guarantee against the hazards of toxicity, especially during infancy.
