The oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is one of the most fundamental reactions in lipid chemistry. When unsaturated lipids are exposed to air, the complex, volatile oxidation compounds formed cause rancidity, decreasing the quality of foods containing lipids as well as foods in which oils are used as ingredients.

The oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is one of the most fundamental reactions in lipid chemistry.
