Oxidations of methyl linoleate micelles in aqueous dispersions induced by iron and ascorbic acid have been studied aiming specifically at elucidating the mechanism of initiation reactions. It was suggested that the initial radicals were generated by the decomposition of hydroperoxide by iron and that ascorbic acid functioned as a reducing agent for ferric ion to give more reactive ferrous ion.
