The oxidative stability of meat after 5 months of frozen storage was
significantly (P ≤ 0.05) improved by herbal extracts (Table 4). This improvement
is shown by a lower TBA-RS when compared with the control
(by 12%) and BHT (by 13%) groups. Both preparations lowered
cholesterol content in meat when compared to the control group, but
this difference was significant (P ≤ 0.05) only in the case of herbal
extracts. Meat acidity and water-holding capacity were unchanged by
dietary treatment.
