Storage time dramatically affected (P < 0.05) TBARS
values. Degree of lipid oxidation increased as the storage
time increased. Dirinck et al. (1996) reported that
this oxidation process speeds up with the storage due
to cell membrane lysis. Lipid oxidation during storage
of the cooked state was greater (P < 0.05) compared
with the fresh state at different storage periods. Heat
treatment changes the oxidative stability of pork, and
phospholipid oxidation present in subcellular membranes
proceeds at a much greater rate during chill
storage of cooked pork.
