~What are the three most prevalent fatty acids in peanut oil? I occasionally use peanut oil at home for cooking. However, it will often sit in the cupboard for months between uses. Again and again, I am disappointed to find a cardboard-like, dusty odor to the oil after it has sat for so long. Using your knowledge from the presentation and what you found were the main components of peanut oil, propose the structures of the products that are the hallmarks of peanut oil rancidity. Peanut oil is relatively high in tocopherols. What are tocopherols? Identify (chemically) how tocopherols are able to capture radicals. -Draw a resonance diagram of how tocopherols stabilize radicals.
