Kinetics of Iodine-catalyzed Conjugation of Soybean Oils

Abstract

Abstract Kinetics of iodine-catalyzed conjugation of soybean oils was studied. The results indicated that the conjugation of linoleic acid could be described by means of apparent first-order reaction. The apparent activation energy values and the preexponential factor A were 769kJ/mol and 3.49×108s−1, respectively. The rate equation was . r A = − d C L A d t = − 3.49 × 10 8 exp ⁡ [ 9249.88 T ] C L A C I 2 0.9425 It was also clear that the model was perfect for fitting the results.
