The cooked foal steaks contained high contents of aldehydes and lineal alkanes On
the other hand, thermal treatment let to a decrease of in esters and
ketones levels.Hexanal, total aldehydes and total volatile compounds
were highly correlated (P b 0.01) with TBARs value of cooked foal.
This indicates that the content of aldehydes and hexanal is representative
of the degree of lipid oxidation in cooked foal steaks.
