Hydrolysis is the splitting of a compound by reactionwith water.
After kept for too long, fat will become rancid/smelly
because of the release of fatty acid by the process ofhydrolysis
Hydrolysis occur rapidly in the presence of lipase(actas enzyme)
Hydrolysis also occurs during deep-fat frying becauseof the large amounts of water introduced from thefood and the relatively high temperature
Hydrolytic rancidity can be reduced by refrigeration

Alkenes are more reactive than alkanes
because of the C=C bonds
Unsaturated fats are more reactive thansaturated fats

Occurs in air
Absence of enzyme
Oxidize by oxygen Oxidative rancidity: Fat molecules break
down to form volatile unpleasant aldehydes
and carbox
ylic acids Free radical reaction
Can also be initiated by light(photo-
oxidation), enzymes or metal ions.

The more unsaturated the oils(more C=C
bonds), the faster the rate of oxidation.
The rate can be reduced by usingantioxidants and by refrigeration.

Radicals react with oxygen to form peroxide radicalsThen it reacts with more unsaturated fatty acid molecules toform hydroperoxides and other alkyl free radicals

Fe2+ can catalyse the break-up of the hydroperoxdies by
reducing the free radicals to the more stable hydroxideions.
Fe2+ is regenated as the Fe3+ oxidizes the H atoms tomore stable H+ ion.

Addition of hydrogen Catalyst = nickel, copper, or zinc Temperature of 140-225 degrees Celcius Increases hardness and melting point Used in manufacturing solid margarine and
spreads Increases chemical stability of fats by making it
less susceptible to oxidation Can be controlled by varying the pressure of
hydrogen and the nature of catalyst

Advantages Disadvantages
Changes a liquid to semi solid or solid Unsaturated fats are more healthier thansaturated fats
Make the melting point of unsaturatedfats more like a saturated fats
In partial hydrogenation, trans fatty acidscan be form
Decrease the rate of oxidation Trans fatty acids:-are hard to metabolize
-accumulate in fatty tissues-difficult to excrete from body
-increase level of low-density (LDL)cholesterol
-low quality of energy source
Increase hardness
Controls the feel and plasticity(stiffness)
