expected, the lipid oxidation level was found to be more marked
in chicken thigh (Fig. 2) compared to chicken breast (Fig. 1). The
initial level of oxidation at day 1 for the chicken thigh patties could
also be ordered into CS > CI = APS = API (Fig. 2). During subsequent
chill storage the overall progression of lipid oxidation in the thigh
patties without or with antioxidant active packaging was similar to
the breast patties. Thus, the oxidation in the surface part of patties
packed in standard packaging accelerated after 3 days of storage,
and the extent of oxidation in the inner part of patties in antioxidant
active package was low throughout the storage period.
