What are the two ways a fat can go rancid?
|
The chemical deterioration of a fat caused by the uptake of oxygen (oxidation) or water (hydrolysis). Hydrolytic Oxidative |
|
Explain Oxidative Rancidity |
Oxidative rancidity begins when a free radical forms, which often is initiated in a polyunsaturated fatty acid. Its structure is able to form a free radical at any of the three carbons (9,11, or 13). The free radical then combines with two oxygen atoms to form a peroxide. Subsequently, one hydrogen atom is removed from another unsaturated fatty acid, and that hydrogen is added to complete the formation of the hydroperoxide. This process is autocatalytic-that is, it is self-perpetuating. It creates free radicals, peroxides, aldehydes, shorter fatty acids which in turn create a rancid flavor and odor. |

When fat is exposed to air (oxygen), heat, or light, metals (iron, copper) |
