Abstract
in the in vitro peroxidation of linoleic acid micelles induced with 2, 2-azobis-(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH), a water-soluble radical initiator, or with 2, 2-azobis (2, 4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (AMVN), a lipid-soluble radical initiactor, in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate the inhibitory effect of riboflavin was investigated by measurement of the dissolved oxygen content in the reaction mixture by use of an oxygen electrode. In the case of each radical initiator, the decrease in the dissolved oxygen content was quantitatively inhibited by riboflavin, and the time of riboflavin disappearance from the reaction mixture coincided with the coculusion of the inhibition period of the oxygen absorption.
