NMR spectroscopy for assessing lipid oxidation. Lipid Technology. 27(8):187-189. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Although lipid oxidation involves a variety of chemical reactions to produce numerous substances, most of traditional methods assessing lipid oxidation measure only one kind of oxidation product. For this reason, in general, one indicator of oxidation is not enough to accurately describe the oxidation status of lipid and two or more methods should be used for the accurate assessment of lipid oxidation. ^1^H NMR measuring disappearance of starting materials during the oxidation process has been found to very a reliable method, which gives a satisfactory description of lipid oxidation status throughout the entire course of oxidation regardless the kinds of oxidation products produced. It was found that the NMR method not only correlates well with traditional methods but also it offers additional advantages such as higher accuracy, non-destructiveness, and faster and more convenient procedure. |
