Resumo: Biodiesel is a fuel that can be obtained from renewable sources and due to its chemical composition is sensitive to oxidation. To increase their oxidative stability is necessary to add antioxidants, which are compounds capable of avoiding or delaying oxidation reactions and can be synthetic or natural, from the natural, we highlight a variety of plants with antioxidant activity, among them the mint (Mentha spicata L.) and Acerola (Malpighia glabra L.). The objective of this study was to evaluate the oxidative stability of biodiesel in the presence of natural antioxidants from extracts of Acerola and mint leaves obtained by conventional extraction and supercritical CO2 on temperature and various pressure using oxidative stability in Rancimat test, avaliou- is also the synthetic antioxidant TBHQ, to compare the results obtained with the use of the plant extracts. The effects of temperature and pressure on the yield and quality of the extract. The best induction times were obtained for biodiesel plus the supercritical extracts of Acerola 40 °C and 150 bar condition (1.38 h) and 60 °C and 250 bar (1.07 h) and the supercritical extract of mint conditions of 40 °C and 150 bar (1.08 h), 40 °C and 250 bar (1.71 h) and 60 °C and 250 bar (2.04 h) and soxhlet extract with hexane obtained from both acerola (2.84 h) and Mint (2.87 h), which showed greater induction time of the control (1.04 h). Biodiesel plus the synthetic antioxidant TBHQ got time higher induction to control and biodiesel plus extracts and from 36.95 hours. The oxidative stability of biodiesel was more increased when the extracts obtained by conventional extraction using Hexane as the solvent, which can be extracted from a larger quantity of compounds with antioxidant activity.
