Abstract
The effects of the chain length of saturated acyl groups in the acylglycerols on the autoxidation of unsaturated triacylglycerols were analyzed under various experimental conditions. In the course of incubation, the autoxidative stabilities of unsaturated triacylglycerols were found to decrease in proportion to the increase in the length of the saturated acyl chain coexisted in the same acyl glycerols when autoxidation was carried out in bulk phase or by means adsorption of the sample on Celite.
