Abstract
The effects of mechanical stress during emulsification on the oxidation of methyl linoleate were investigated by four methods (high-pressure homogenization, high-speed stirring, ultrasonic homogenization, and membrane emulsification). The oxidation rates and induction periods were almost constant, regardless of the emulsification method, except for membrane emulsification, by which the induction period was prolonged when a cellulose acetate membrane was used.
