Toxicity of Fatty Acid Autoxidation Products: Highest Anti-Microbial Toxicity in the Initial Oxidative Phase

The autoxidation-degradation processes of polyunsaturated fatty acids give rise to toxic products, and the relative toxicity at different stages of the process is of great interest. We report here that when methyl α-linolenate is exposed to sunlight and air, its antimicrobial activity against yeasts...
