Question

Lipid oxidation is the main reason for:

Answer 1

Answer: Food spoilage

Explanation:

Lipid oxidation cause food spoilage because lipid oxidation is the oxidative degradation of lipids that occur when free hydroxyl attract electron from the fatty acids. These make the lipid radical to be unstable and the fatty acids reacts with oxygen to form fatty acid peroxyl radical which is the major causes of food deterioration. Oxidation occurs by defferent molecular mechanisms such as production of reactive oxygen precursors and free radicals. Continuous occurrence of this can result in lung damage.
