the extent of lipid oxidation. Therefore, the observed
TBARS values for all storage periods were high when
compared with those reported by other authors. In the
cooked product, there was a tendency for an interaction
(P < 0.07) between dietary fat level and high VE supplementation
for d 0 TBARS values. The high VE supplementation
decreased TBARS values in the NC and
HOC+fat treatments but had no effect in theHOCtreatment.
At d 2, increased dietary fat in the HOC and
HOC+fat treatment increased TBARS values 14% over
the NC treatment (P < 0.005), and at d 6 the increased
fat diets tended (P < 0.09) to have increased TBARS
values over the NC dietary treatment.
