despite differences in lipid content as well as
in initial (day 2, anoxic MAP) tocopherol levels between the mince
(5.7 ± 0.4 μg α-toc/g) and LTL steaks (2.8 ± 1.2 μg α-toc/g). It must
be noted however that while lowlevels of tocopherol have been reported
to be highly correlatedwith TBARS in meat, thiswas not reported for
levels above 2 μgα-toc/g
