The Chemiluminescence and Oxidation of Linoleic Acid at 60°C
The upper graph gives the time dependence of the CL intensity observed from linoleic acid when undergoing oxidation at 60°C. The lower graph shows the UV absorbance at 234 nm (filled symbols) of linoleic acid at 60°C, as an indication of the formation of hydroperoxides. Also shown in the lower graph is the UV absorbance at 270-280 nm (unfilled symbols) of linoleic acid at 60°C, as an indication of the formation of secondary oxidation products.
