Reactions of Benzoyl Peroxide with Whey^{1 ,2,}

Department of Food Technology, Iowa State University, Ames 50011

ABSTRACT

The rate of decomposition of benzoyl peroxide in whey depended on the size of the benzoyl peroxide particles and rate of agitation. The major decomposition product of benzoyl peroxide in water was benzoic acid, but trace amounts of phenyl benzoate, phenol, and hydroxy benzoic acids were formed. When carbon-14 labeled benzoyl peroxide was reacted with whey, the same compounds were produced. In addition about 6.8% of the label was bound to nondialyzable whey components and about .6% was bound to dialyzable neutral components of the whey.
