In the current study, the initial TBA-RS values of C, R and T groups increased progressively (p < 0.05) with storage time from 0.093 ± 0.04, 0.036 ± 0.013 and 0.04 ± 0.008 at day zero until the last time of examination before spoilage, when a decline in all groups has been observed to reach 0.796 ± 0.07, 0.316 ± 0.021 and 0.313 ± 0.008 mg MDA/Kg at 9th, 9th and 18th day of refrigerated storage, respectively (Fig. 3A).
