So beta-oxidation is a proces in which fatty acids are broken down and results in two molecules, where one is Acetyl-CoA. However, if I look at the the scheme of beta-oxidation, I don't understand which is/are the fatty acids in this process. So for example, Acyl-CoA will eventually result in myristoyl-CoA and Acetyl-CoA. What is the fatty acid in this beta-oxidation process?
The long-chain acyl-CoA enters the fatty acid β-oxidation pathway resulting s in the production of one acetyl-CoA from each cycle of fatty acid β-oxidation.
β-Oxidation is the major metabolic pathway by which energy is released from fatty acids.
Hi
The processing protocols are well explained in the following paper:

I hope this helps!
