Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- In acidic media with P6-inositol, the autooxidation is initially rapid which becomes slower subsequently but eventually proceeds very fast.
- The autooxidation is first order with an activation energy of 17 kcal mol-1 at 25 degrees, pH 7.
- Correction for autooxidation is a routine procedure in high-resolution respirometry, but it requires precautions.
- When the autooxidation is catalyzed by a small amount of soluble copper(II) laurate or copper(II) stearate, the oxidation rate is faster and the selectivity to CHP is lower than that catalyzed by Cu(OAc)"2-BR-0.
- As saffron is used chiefly as a food additive for flavouring and colouring, the process of autooxidation is undesirable.
