Lipid Oxidation in Oil-in-Water Emulsions: Impact of Molecular Environment on Chemical Reactions in Heterogeneous Food Systems

TLDR
In this article, the authors reviewed the current understanding of the lipid oxidation mechanism in oil-in-water emulsions and discussed the major factors that influence the rate of lipid oxidation, such as antioxidants, chelating agents, ingredient purity, ingredient partitioning, interfacial characteristics, droplet characteristics, and ingredient interactions.
Abstract
The susceptibility of lipids to oxidation is a major cause of quality deterioration in food emulsions. The reaction mechanism and factors that influence oxidation are appreciably different for emulsified lipids than for bulk lipids. This article reviews the current understanding of the lipid oxidation mechanism in oil-in-water emulsions. It also discusses the major factors that influence the rate of lipid oxidation in emulsions, such as antioxidants, chelating agents, ingredient purity, ingredient partitioning, interfacial characteristics, droplet characteristics, and ingredient interactions. This knowledge is then used to define effective strategies for controlling lipid oxidation in food emulsions.

Principal Phenolic Phytochemicals in Selected California Wines and Their Antioxidant Activity in Inhibiting Oxidation of Human Low-Density Lipoproteins

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of wine in inhibiting the copper-catalyzed oxidation of human low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and found that the relative inhibition of LDL oxidation varied from 46 to 100% with red wines and from 3 to 6% with white wines.

Iron-catalyzed hydroxyl radical formation. Stringent requirement for free iron coordination site.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that iron-catalyzed formation of hydroxyl radical from superoxide anion radical (O-.2) and H2O2 requires the availability of at least one iron coordination site that is open or occupied by a readily dissociable ligand such as water is investigated.
