These pervasive reactions are major causes for changes observed in foods during processing and storage. Recent emphasis given to the so-called active-oxygen species in initiating oxidative alterations in biological materials dictates a treatment of their relevance to changes in foods. Although we are accustomed to thinking of metals primarily in terms of redox reactions a variety of ionic reactions catalyzed by these agents and their chelates is discussed from a mechanistic point of view.</span><span style="color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;"><br></span><br></p>
