← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when unsaturated triglycerides in cooking oil degrade via oxidation?
A)Polymerization due to free radical formation✓
B)Crystallization promoted saturated fatty acids
C)Hydrolysis accelerating triglyceride breakdown
D)Saponification forming soap-like compounds
💡 Explanation
When unsaturated triglycerides oxidize, free radicals form initiating a chain reaction that leads to polymerization because double bonds are broken and recombine. Therefore, polymerization results, rather than crystallization, hydrolysis, or saponification, which require different chemical pathways or additions.
