Research conducted at the Northern Laboratory on vegetable oils during the past two decades includes polymerization, isomerization, flavor stability, and structure. Some early accomplishments—dimeric fatty acids and their derivatives, conjugated oils and their aftertack as well as the use of citric acid to inactivate iron in soybean oil—and more recent accomplishments—aldehyde oils, cyclic fatty acids, and tests for hidden oxidation and hydrazine reduction—are among the subjects reviewed.
