A fat is protected from oxidation by, in one process embodiment, forming a mixture of tocopherol and lecithin at a temperature not greater than 60 DEG C., mixing ascorbic acid dissolved in a polar solvent into the tocopherol and lecithin mixture, eliminating the solvent from the mixture at a temperature not greater than 60 DEG C. and then, incorporating the mixture into a fat. In another embodiment, lecithin is added to a fat, and tocopherol and ascorbic acid dissolved in a polar solvent are added to the lecithin-added fat after which, the solvent is eliminated from the fat.
