of primary oxidation products to secondary lipid oxidation products.
It has previously been shown that rosemary prevents lipid
oxidation in HP-treated chicken meat by lowering the radical formation,
as measured by ESR spectroscopy (Bragagnolo et al.,
2007). In order to explore the oxidation mechanism at the surface
of meat patties and the protection by the antioxidant active packaging,
the radical formation was monitored.
