acids are shown in Table 3. The reaction rates of triplet oxygen <strong>and</strong> singlet oxygen<br />

with linoleic acid are 8.9 � 10 1 M �1 s �1 <strong>and</strong> 1.3 � 10 5 M �1 s �1 , respectively [8].<br />

That is, single oxygen reacts with linoleic acid about 1450 times faster than the<br />

triplet oxygen reacts with linoleic acid.<br />

IX. DECOMPOSITION OF HYDROPEROXIDES<br />

The decomposition of hydroperoxides to produce volatile compounds is shown in<br />

Figure 12. The most likely decomposition pathway of hydroperoxide is the cleavage<br />
