| Of the peroxy type bleaches, sodium perborate is the least expensive. |
| This radical is delocalized over the pentadiene structure and reacts with oxygen to produce the peroxy radical and conjugation in the fatty acid ester chain. |
| In fact, it is still unclear if the superoxide anion is formed through peroxy radicals or through a reaction between solvated electron and molecular oxygen. |
| Alternatively, a-tocopherol can scavenge two peroxy free radicals and then be conjugated to glucuronate for excretion in the bile. |
