Oxidation of meat lipids is an complex process and its dynamics depends on numerous factors, including chemical composition of the meat, light and oxygen access, as well as storage temperature (Kanner, 1994). The rate of the oxida- tion process is also affected by technological procedures to which meat is subjected during its processing (Pikul, Les- zczyn ́ski, & Kummerow, 1985). Because lipid oxidation leads to the formation of numerous other compounds which have an adverse effect on the quality attributes and nutritive value of meat products (Kanner, 1994), this pro- cess frequently limits the shelf-life of processed meat.
