Studies on the autoxidation of fatty materials have revealed the facts that the primary products of autoxidation are the peroxide or hydroperoxide (PV), and that by the transformation or decomposition of the peroxide and the interaction of the peroxide with other materials of autoxidation and further oxidation of the peroxide, the secondary products may be formed, including various aldehydes, ketons and acids etc., some of which are responsible for rancid flavour and ordor. However, there has been probably little experimental evidence about the mechanism by which the lower products are formed. And then, in order to obtain some information on the process of the formation of lower carbonyl compounds by the oxidation, a preliminary experiment was carried out in considering the relationship between the formation of water-soluble carbonyl compounds (SC) and the quantity of the peroxide and between the formation of water-soluble and non-water-soluble carbonyl compounds (NC), adopting the oxidative action of soybean lipoxidase for linoleic acid., The formation of SC by the enzymatic oxidation of linoleic acid could hardly be perceived under the presence of smaller quantity of PV, while that of TC was appreciable in the same case. The addition of NC fraction to the mixture resulted in the acceleration of SC-formation and the inhibition of PV-formation. By some variations of the substrate concentration, the rate of PV-formation was considerably affected, while that of SC was hardly affected. Thus, SC produced by the oxidation of linoleic acid, was supposed to be a later product derived from NC consequent on the formation of PV.}, pages = {52--55}, title = {On the Process of the Formation of Lower Carbonyl Compounds in the Enzymatic Oxidation of Linoleic Acid}, volume = {8}, year = {} }
