The effect of ionizing radiation on fats was investigated on saturated fatty acids by means of the thiobarbituric acid reaction. The fornnation of carbonyl compounds by gamma radiation wse determined as a function of the gse medium and the hydrogen concentration during the irradiation. Irradiation doses from 1 x 10/sup 4/ to 1.5 x 10/sup 6/ r were used. The results showed that with 1.5 x 10/sup 6/ r, carbonyl compounds were formed, especially with the liquid acids (C/sub 4/ to C/sub 10/). The presence of water, especially in high concentrations, increases the carbonyl formation. Carbonyl forraation is connected with the presence of oxygen. The addition of alpha tocopherol reduces the radioinduced formation of carbonyl in butyric acid. UV radiation of a mercury lamp has the same effect as Co/sup 60/ gamma radiation. (J.8.R.)
