Study IV-effect of homogenization and reaction times for heated stored sample
Study IV was conducted to determine if homogenization (with turbidity) helped to release PVs for variously pr Store samples. As noted in Figure 3, fresh, fresh/stored, and heated/ stored samples had less PVs than heated samples. Although there were likely less PVs in fresh samples and fresh/stored, less PVs in heated/stored samples were not expected. Possibly, there was a reduction in peroxides for heated/stored turkey meat (approxi mately 0.75 meq/kg) after 4 d as shown in Graph G of Figure 4 whereas other oxidation products, not detected in our study, were increasing. steady increase in oxidation for heated samples after A homogenization (with turbidity) seemed to verify our assumption that glass beads with vortexing were not adequate for release of peroxides from heated meat.
