Peroxyl radicals, as model for peroxyl radicals formed during autoxidation of lipids, have been generated in three solvent systems (cyclohexane, tetrahydrofuran and tert-butanol/water) by steady-state and laser flash photolysis, and their reaction with beta-carotene studied. Steady-state photolysis experiments showed that
