Definition beta oxidation may be defined as the oxidation of fatty acids on the beta carbon atom. In biochemistry and metabolism, beta oxidation is the catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the cytosol in prokaryotes and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to generate acetylcoa, which enters the citric acid cycle, and nadh and fadh 2, which are coenzymes used in the electron transport chain.
