Decomposition of fatty acid hydroperoxide is found to be proportional to the radiation dose. A dose of 20 kGy was found to decompose the hydroperoxide by 98%.Addition of phenolic antioxidants at 4.5 mM could not prevent the decomposition at 20 kGy but the phenolic antioxidants at 20 mM prevented the decomposition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
