DEF

Development of a rancid odour in an odourless product (e.g. oil).

CONT

Further processing and utilization of refined soybean oil : Freshly refined soybean oil is practically odourless and bland. However, objectionable off-flavour described as "green, grassy, fishy" is known to develop quickly if the oil is heated(as in cooking and frying), or stored under conditions which expose it to light and oxygen or permits contamination with certain metals such as copper and iron. This type of flavour deterioration has been called "flavour reversion", expressing the thought that it brings back the off-flavours of crude oil.
