Which of the following is an outcome of oxidative degradation of dietary fats ?
Rancidity
When unsaturated fatty acids in fats and oils react with atmospheric oxygen, a free radical chain reaction forms hydroperoxides that break down into aldehydes, ketones and short chain acids.
These breakdown products give fats an unpleasant odour and flavour, a spoilage condition known as oxidative rancidity; it is accelerated by light, heat and metals such as copper and iron, and is slowed by antioxidants.
Denaturation refers to the unfolding of proteins, methylation is the addition of a methyl group, and dehydration is the removal of water, so none of these describes the oxidative spoilage of fats.
Hence, Rancidity.
