3.3. Oxidative stability of proteins and lipids
The oxidative stability of the lipid fraction of themeat emulsionswas
evaluated by the formation of secondary lipid oxidation products as
determined by thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) (Fig. 2,
upper panel). Addition of 100, 500, or 1500 ppm green tea extract
were able to inhibit the formation of TBARS for up to 8 days during
storage as compared to the control meat emulsion, where TBARS
