Methyl eicosapentaenoate (methyl 5, 8, 11, 14, 17-eicosapentaenoate) was subjected to autoxidation and methylene blue-sensitized photooxidation. The secondary oxidation products were separated, and characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The autoxidation products included hydroperoxy endoperoxide isomers, prostaglandin-like hydroperoxy bicyclic endoperoxide isomers and 5, 18-dihydroperoxide. The photosensitized oxidation products included only dihydroperoxide isomers as the secondary products.
