Lipid oxidation is initiated in the unsaturated fatty acids fraction
by the abstraction of a hydrogen atom and propagated as a radicalmediated
chain reaction. In fact, they form hydro peroxides, which are
susceptible to further oxidation and it decomposes to form secondary
reaction products such as aldehydes, ketones, acids and alcohols. In
many cases, these compounds are responsible for the changes in flavor,
aroma, taste, and nutritional value which affects the overall quality
