Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA's) in oils 0.g. sunflower oil are prone to rancidity because they contain conjugated double bond systems which are easily oxidized in the presence of light or peroxides. BHT Is used as an antioxidant in oils to prevent oxidative rancidity. How do BHT prevent oils from reacting with peroxides so that they do not become rancid? Show the mechanism.

Hyaluronic acid, a component of connective tissue, is the fluid that lubricates joints. It is a polymer of alternating N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucuronic acid subunits joined by β-1,3'-glycosidic linkages. Draw a short segment of hyaluronic acid.
Linoleic acid is shown below. What makes this fatty acid particularly susceptible to autoxidation? 1. The red CH bond has a low bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic. 2. The red CH bond has a high bond dissociation energy because it is doubly allylic. 3. The red CH bond is the most accessible to reaction with O2 because it is the least sterically crowded CH bond. 4. Both 2 and 3.

Linolenic acid and stearidonic acid are omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids that contain the first double bond located at C3, when numbering begins at the methyl end of the chain. Predict how the melting point of stearidonic acid compares with the melting points of linolenic and stearic acids. A current avenue of research is examining the use of soybean oil enriched in stearidonic acid as a healthier alternative to vegetable oils that contain fewer degrees of unsaturation.
