Research on SFA oxidation was intensively conducted approximately half a century ago, and during this period, a mechanistic hypothesis for the formation of 2-alkanones and lactones appears to have been proposed. Owing to technical limitations at the time, this hypothesis could not be verified, and research on SFA oxidation subsequently stagnated for several decades. In recent years, however, the hypothesis concerning the formation mechanisms of 2-alkanones and lactones during SFA oxidation has been experimentally validated through an approach involving the individual preparation of SFA hydroperoxide positional isomers and their thermal decomposition. Because 2-alkanones and lactones are aroma-active constituents commonly found in dairy products and beef, SFA oxidation has significant implications for food chemistry.
