Abstract
The oxidation of oleic acidβlinolenic acid mixtures was followed using the oxygen uptake method. Experiments were carried out at 30Β°C and eleven samples were studied in each run. During the period of molecular decomposition of the hydroperoxides, the overall monomolecular rate constant increases linearly with increasing linolenic acid molar fraction in the samples. No prooxidant or antioxidant effects were found during this period of oxidation. When the reaction enters the bimolecular period of the decomposition of the hydroperoxides, a prooxidant effect was always found when the molar fraction of oleic acid exceeded 0.50.

Titration of a series of C(18) fatty acids yields pK(a) values that decrease with an increasing degree of unsaturation in the fatty acid chain. The pK(a) values of stearic, elaidic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were studied and compared to values of area per molecule in a spread monolayer of
