Factors affecting the stability of highly unsaturated fatty acids. III. The autoxidation of methyl eleostearate

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society

Summary

The autoxidation of methyl eleostearate was studied by observing the kinetics of the reaction and separating the primary oxidation products. The results indicate that an eleostearate free radical adds oxygen to the 1,2, 1,4, or 1,6 position of the triene system to produce polymers through peroxide bridges.
