Non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and coenzyme A (CoA) react in the presence of Acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) to acylated coenzyme A. Acylated coenzyme A is oxidized by acyl coenzyme A oxidase under development of H202. H202 is converted to a coloured product by the use of
Trinder substances in the presence of peroxidase (POD). At 546nm the intensity of the dye is directly proportional to the concentration of free£ fatty acids in the sample.
