Lipidoxidation has adverse effects on food quality and human health. Therefore, efforts should be made to reduce lipidoxidation and improve its stability. This review focuses on important knowledge about lipid oxidation, includingthe concept of lipids and lipid oxidation, the main pathways and mechanisms of lipid oxidation, factors affectinglipid oxidation, strategies to improve the stability of lipid oxidation, and the recent research progress of lipidoxidation in food science and nutritional health.展开更多
