Flavor compounds of pentane, hexane, hexanal and total volatiles formed during $65^{\circ}C$ storage of ramyon fried in palm oil with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, RHA, TRHQ, rosemary extract or defatted ricebran extract were determined by static headspace gas chromatography. The levels of the antioxidants used in the frying oil were 100 or 200 ppm, and an additional level of 300 ppm was employed in the case of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ ${\alpha}-Tocopherol$ decelerated the formation of all the flavor compounds when used at 100 or 200 ppm, and the former was more effective than the latter. However, 300 ppm of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ accelerated the flavor compound formation in ramyon during storage. One hundred ppm of BHA and TBHQ contributed to the reduction in flavor compound formation in the stored ramyon, whereas 200ppm level accelerated the compound formation. Rosemary extract and defatted ricebran extract lowered the flavor compound formation in ramyon when used at 100 or 200 ppm in palm oil. Their lowering effects were similar to that of ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, and superior to that of TBHQ. suggesting a possible utilization of defatted ricebran extract as a new natural antioxidant.
