Preservatives & Anti-O's to prevent DOS?

[RogueRose]

I'm wondering if using either of these will prevent or help prevent DOS.? I found a compound that is an anti-oxidant which is used in some fuel oils to prevent rancidity and oxidation, it's called BHT (BHA is also used). I've read that BHT is also sold as a health supplement so it seems that it isn't too toxic.

If this will prevent DOS, then that could open the door for a lot of new recipes which are off limits if DOS is a concern.

Anyone know about this?

To an extent, yes.

See: http://cavemanchemistry.com/DreadedOrangeSpot-Dunn.pdf

Recommended are rosemary oleoresin extract or a combo of BHT and sodium citrate.

I still wouldn't go crazy with a DOS prone recipe though.

While this conclusion seems promising at first glance, I want to add the fats that are especially DOS prone are the ones with high linoleic and linolenic content. In large amounts, these oils don't make a desirable soap, so I personally can't get overly excited about using a chelator and/or antioxidant so I could use more, say, grapeseed oil in my soap. Ditto for using high superfat amounts -- it doesn't make for Good Soap.

Maybe that's not quite what you're thinking, though -- can you explain more about what you have in mind?
