Oxidation and the Importance of Antioxidants in Food

Lipid oxidation is responsible for the deterioration of food product quality and is the result of a combination of internal and external factors. Antioxidants help delay the onset of oxidation by donating hydrogen atoms to quench free radicals, forming a stable antioxidant radical that is unable to participate in propagation reactions, slowing down oxidation.
