(a) Major reactions occurring during the epoxidation of triglyceride: (i) Reaction I: Acid-catalyzed formation of performic acid; (ii) Reaction II: Formation of epoxy groups via reaction between performic acid and double bond; and (iii) Reaction III: Ring-opening reaction due to attack of formic acid on epoxy groups; and (b) Triglyceride molecule that indicates the position of double bonds in different fatty acids.
