Oxidation of Proteins is Achieved Most Readily

Question

Oxidation of proteins is achieved most readily
A)by moist heat.
B)by moist heat under pressure.
C)in a hot air oven.
D)in the presence of organics.

Accepted Answer

Oxidation of proteins is achieved most readily in a hot air oven. The high temperature and dry conditions of the hot air oven promote oxidation reactions. Moist heat or pressure cooking can result in protein denaturation and coagulation, but not necessarily oxidation. The presence of organics can also contribute to oxidation, but it is not the most efficient method.
