Unsaturated lipids are prone to get oxidized through a sequence of reactions known as lipid oxidation. From a phenomenon considered at the beginning as a mere chemical process and described by the triptych of initiation, propagation, and termination, the vision of lipid oxidation has progressively evolved to further integrate the physical dimension of the phenomenon. Despite tremendous research efforts, however, this sequence of reactions is not yet well understood, especially in lipid dispersions where many facts are still inexplicable and unpredictable under the current paradigm. Here, the aim is to suggest that the main reason why a better understanding has not already been achieved is that the reactional network is not yet organized in a coherent spatiotemporal framework. The novel concepts and hypotheses proposed in this article may help redirecting a significant part of research efforts toward the establishment of a spatially and temporally resolved model of oxidation in dispersed lipids.
