Autoxidation of Mono-, Di-, and Trilinoleoyl Glycerols at Different Concentrations

Abstract

Mono-, di-, and trilinoleoyl glycerols were diluted with 1-undecanol or hexadecane to produce specific concentrations, and their oxidation processes were measured at 65 °C at 12% relative humidity. The rate constants for oxidation of the linoleoyl residue were proportional to the concentration for all substrates. This fact suggests that no intramolecular radical chain reaction between the linoleoyl residues occurred.
