The effect of combinations of sage, oregano and honey on lipid oxidation in cooked chicken meat during refrigeration at 4°C for 96h was determined. Chicken samples (thigh and breast) were then separated into five groups: control; butylated hydroxytoluene; oregano+sage; oregano+sage+5%honey and oregano+sage+10%honey. Quantitative measurements of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, conjugate...

Meat color is an intrinsic property that plays a major role in consumer’s perception. Lipid oxidation by-products as well as free iron can adversely affect meat color. This study was to compare the effect of Type I (radical quenching) antioxidants eugenol and rosmarinic acid (RA) to that of Type II (metal chelating) antioxidants milk mineral (MM), phytate, and sodium tri-polyphosphate (STPP) in...

Lipid oxidation is one of the major causes food spoilage for lipid-rich foods. In particular, oil-in-water emulsions, like mayonnaises and spreads, are prone to due increased interfacial area that facilitates contact between lipids hydrophilic pro-oxidants present in water phase. Polar, amphiphilic lipid species at oil/water interface, mono- (MAGs) di-acylglycerols (DAGs), act as starters initi...

Gheisari H.R., Møller J.K.S., Adamsen Ch.E., Skibsted L.H. (2010): Sodium chloride or heme protein induced lipid oxidation in raw, minced chicken meat and beef. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 364–375. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the salt (NaCl) level (0%, 1% and 6%) or the addition of metmyoglobin (MetMb) in the amount twice that in the natural muscle content on the oxida...

OBJECTIVE ApoE is an abundant component of chylomicron, VLDL, IDL, and HDL. It binds to multiple types of lipids and is implicated in cholesterol and triglyceride homeostasis. Oxidation of ApoE plays a crucial role in the genesis of atherosclerosis. It is proposed that heme-containing peroxidases (hPx) are major mediators of lipoprotein oxidization. Vascular peroxidase 1 (VPO1) is a recently-di...

A 2 x 2 x 2 factorial experiment was planned to study the influence of dietary fat source (linseed oil or sunflower oil) and dietary doses of alpha-tocopheryl acetate (alpha-TA) (0 or 200 mg/kg of feed) and canthaxanthin (CX) (0 or 5 mg/kg of feed) on fatty acid (FA) composition and lipid oxidation of fresh and spray-dried eggs. Dietary supplementation with alpha-TA and CX modified the levels o...

The "crossover" concept represents a theoretical means by which one can understand the effects of exercise intensity and prior endurance training on the balance of carbohydrate (CHO) and lipid metabolism during sustained exercise. According to the crossover concept, endurance training results in muscular biochemical adaptations that enhance lipid oxidation as well as decrease the sympathetic ne...

The human organism has tools to cope with metabolic challenges like starvation that are crucial for survival. Lipolysis, lipid oxidation, ketone body synthesis, tailored endogenous glucose production and uptake, and decreased glucose oxidation serve to protect against excessive erosion of protein mass, which is the predominant supplier of carbon chains for synthesis of newly formed glucose. The...
