Among foods,meat is one of themost prone to bacterial spoilage and
oxidative deterioration under normal storage conditions (Fung, 2010).
Lipid oxidation is a chemical process that involves the development of
off odors and decreases the acceptability of meat and meat products
by deterioration of their color, texture and nutritive value (Kanner,
1994). Meat and meat products when subjected to processing (heat)
and storage undergo changes in their physical and chemical characteristics
that leads to development of oxygenated free radicals which initiate
the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acidswhile destruction of the
