During the month of May, in the valleys of the northwestern Pacific coastal regions of the United States, a small plant, bearing the botanical name Limnanthes alba, begins to bloom with such an abundance of delicate, beautiful white flowers that there appears to be a natural foam on the meadow. Meadowfoam is the common name for this plant.
O CH3 H3C
Sulfur atom Highly exposed and therefore readily available to participate in redox reactions
OSI is measured by heating the oil to a definite temperature (110 oC or 130 oC for these experiments). As the oil is heated gases are produced into the headspace above the oil. Theses gases are captured and dissolved in water thereby changing the conductance of the aqueous system. The oil eventually fatigues and there is a very rapid rise in conductance. The time required to fully fatigue (i.e. complete thermal stress of the oil) is called the OSI or Oxidative Stability Index. It is measured in hours, the longer the OSI time the more stable the oil.
