However, there are other factors
depending on the metabolic profile of muscles that may be influential
such as the lipid content and characteristics, the content of reducing
sugars and the presence of antioxidant enzymes. The study of the influence
of these factors on the occurrence, extent and nature of protein oxidationmay
deserve specific studies. Additionally, further understanding
of the consequences of protein oxidation during frozen storage of meat
would clarify the actual technological relevance of such reactions and
would urge meat scientists to develop antioxidant strategies to control
the potential negative impact of oxidative protein damage on muscle
