Outline of Final Research Achievements

We've developed an experimental method for conveniently measuring the iodine value of oils, utilizing iodine monochloride which is generated by the reaction of N-chlorosuccinimide and potassium iodide. We also developed a system for aerobic oxidation of vegetable oils, utilizing photo radical initiator (TMDPO) and near-ultraviolet light. In addition, we added antioxidant substances such as tocopherol and sesamol to the aerobic oxidation system of oils with a thermal radical initiator, and evaluated their effects.
Based on the knowledge obtained from these researchs, we examined the application of the above reaction as experimental teaching materials.
