Pink guava pulp is the rich source of natural antioxidants such
as β-carotene and lycopene, which can prevent lipid oxidation
in complex food system. The results in the present study
demonstrated that the addition of pink guava pulp improves
colour and minimizes lipid oxidation in raw pork emulsion
during refrigerated storage under aerobic packaging. Therefore,
meat industry can effectively utilize 10% level of pink guava
pulp to minimize oxidation-induced deteriorative changes in
raw pork emulsion without compromising the sensory quality
attributes.
