Significance of Oxidation
Oxidation, according to the provided text, is a multifaceted chemical process. It is described as a reaction where substances lose electrons, often leading to the formation of free radicals and cellular damage. This process can involve the addition of oxygen or the removal of hydrogen, and is frequently associated with the degradation of oils, drugs, and other substances. The text emphasizes the role of antioxidants in preventing or slowing down oxidation and its damaging effects.

Hindu concept of 'Oxidation'
In Hinduism, oxidation is a process where ghee's quality degrades. Higher iodine and acid values indicate increased susceptibility, leading to instability, softening, and rancidity. This reduces the shelf life of the ghee.

(1) This occurs due to the high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids in Tila Taila, resulting in continuous reactions.[1] (2) This is a process that KGA is more susceptible to, as indicated by the iodine and acid values, suggesting a shorter shelf life compared to the other sample.[2] (3) More iodine value will make the Ghrita less stable, softer and more susceptible for this and rancidification.[3]
From: International Research Journal of Ayurveda and Yoga
(1) When hydrogen peroxide is applied on the affected site, it releases oxygen with foam formation which is known as this. It removes dirt and debris.[4]
The concept of Oxidation in scientific sources
Oxidation, a pervasive chemical process, involves electron transfer, often generating free radicals and reactive species. It can cause cellular damage, drug degradation, and is accelerated by certain conditions. Antioxidants are used to inhibit or mitigate its effects.

(1) This was performed using 10% v/v H 2 O 2 in forced degradation studies.[5] (2) The drug was subjected to this, along with hydrolysis, heat, and photolysis to apply stress conditions.[6] (3) Due to the uniform coating on carrier it protects the active ingredients and surfactants from hydrolysis and this.[7] (4) A degradation process involving the loss of electrons, which is part of the stability study.[8] (5) It is a forced degradation method using 3% hydrogen peroxide to assess empagliflozin stability.[9]

(1) The chain reaction of this is inhibited when free radicals accept electrons from antioxidants.[10] (2) The absorbance values of β-carotene in the absence of extracts decrease due to this of β-carotene and linoleic acid.[11] (3) It is a necessary process for many biological organs to generate energy.[12] (4) A chemical process involving the loss of electrons, which was observed to be accelerated in the heart tissue of rats supplemented with NADH, potentially due to increased free radical production.[13] (5) A process that occurs under normal conditions, balanced with reduction, and when it leads to excessive ROS generation, can cause oxidative stress.[14]
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
(1) "Oxidation" is a chemical reaction that occurs in oils during heating, leading to the formation of hydroperoxides and aldehydes, which can affect oil quality.[15] (2) This is a chemical process that can accompany toxicity from a specific substance, and suggests the need for antioxidants.[16]
From: Journal of Public Health in Africa
(1) Consumption of nutrients that prevent oxidation may decrease the risk of developing several types of NHL.[17]
From: Sustainability Journal (MDPI)
(1) It is the most important mechanism during aging, involving the capture of oxygen atoms by components, altering their chemical characteristics irreversibly.[18] (2) It is a method for eliminating lead from water, however, it is not applied on a large scale due to limitations.[19] (3) A chemical reaction conducted at a specific temperature for a certain duration to modify biochar for mercury stabilization.[20] (4) Refers to a chemical process involving the loss of electrons, which can occur to pesticides due to reactive oxygen species.[21] (5) Oxidation is a phenomenon that explains the increase of NO 3 - content in all treated wastewater samples from Algeria, Italy, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia.[22]

(1) This is a process used in conjunction with filtration to remove arsenic, achieving high removal efficiency under certain conditions.[23] (2) Chemical Oxygen Demand is the measure of oxygen equivalent of the organic content of the sample that is susceptible to oxidation by a strong chemical oxidant.[24] (3) The text refers to oxidation in the context of complement C 3, indicating it is a modification or state of the protein that can be detected in proteomic analysis.[25]
From: International Journal of Pharmacology
(1) Oxidation is a natural process in living organisms involving the reaction of molecular oxygen with biomolecules, leading to the generation of free radicals and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).[26] (2) A chemical process that can be prevented or slowed down by antioxidants, involving a decrease in the amount of localized oxygen.[27] (3) The mulberry tree protects against oxidation by preventing the pathological accumulation of free radicals of molecules like enzymes, proteins, and lipids.[28]
