Abstract: Measure of delay oil oxidation in wheat germ was studied in this paper. Stabilization of wheat germ was carried out by steam boiling 30min, 90℃ microwave treatment 6min, adding additive 0.2% antioxidants-sodium erythorbate and vacuum packaging. The results showed that the comprehensive treatment can greatly extend storage time of wheat germ, and the peroxide value of oil in wheat germ was 19.8meq/kg only after being stored for 1 year.

Key words: wheat germ, oil oxidation, peroxide value
