One of the simplest methods for short-term handling and storage of fish is the refrigeration in combination with dip treatments. This study was conducted to determine the effect of pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatments on lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets. Trout fillets were dipped in α-tocopherol acetate solutions (200 and 500 mg kg-1 flesh) and subsequently s...

Fatty acids are known to decrease insulin-mediated glucose utilization in humans, both at rest and during exercise. To evaluate the effect of endurance training in this process, we infused lipids or saline in groups of sedentary and highly trained subjects. Whole body glucose utilization and substrate oxidation were monitored during a 2.5-h hyperinsulinemic clamp. During the last 30 min, a cycl...

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of dietary treatment, packaging, and irradiation singly or in combination on the oxidative stability of broiler chicken thigh meat. A total of 120 four-week-old chickens were divided into 12 pens (10 birds/pen), and 4 pens of broilers were randomly assigned to a control oxidized diet (5% oxidized oil) or an antioxidant-added diet [500 IU of vitami...

the aim of this study was evaluation of phytochemical components, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial effects of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) essential oil (beo) in vitro. the lipid oxidation of the meat and antibacterial effects of beo were also evaluated in beef burger product. in this empirical study, essential oil of the basil was isolated by hydrodistillation. then, beo was analyzed by ...

An overview of myoglobin-initiated lipid oxidation in simple model systems, muscle, and muscle-based foods is presented. The potential role of myoglobin spin and redox states in initiating lipid oxidation is reviewed. Proposed mechanisms for myoglobin-initiated lipid oxidation in muscle tissue (pH 7.4) and meat (pH 5.5) are evaluated with the purpose of putting forward general mechanisms explai...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of red onion (allium cepa l.) juice and green tea (camellia sinenses) extract on lipid oxidation and sensory characteristics of refrigerated (4ºc) sturgeon fillets (acipenser persicus). fresh fillets were tumbled in 1%, 2.5%, and 5% (v/v) aqueous solutions of onion juice (oj) and tea extract (te), and then stored for up to 8 days at 4°c in a re...

lipid oxidation has adverse effect on food deterioration and human health. the antioxidant activity of fennel seed extracts (fse) was evaluated by synthetic antioxidant. its oxidative stability was compared in olive oils in concentrations of bha (75 ppm), bht(75 ppm) and  1:1 bha to bht ratio. peroxide (pv), p-anisidine (av) and totox values were evaluated to assess the extent of oil deteriorat...

this study was performed to determine the effects of different levels of chromium methionine (cr-met)supplementation on growth performance, meat oxidative stability and ruminal metabolites in male kids. thirty-two male mahabadi goat kids, with an average initial body weight (bw) of 22 ± 2 kg at 4 months of age, were allocated in a completely randomized design with four treatments: control witho...

Raw turkey breasts were aerobically or vacuum-packaged, irradiated with a linear accelerator, and frozen for 0, 1.5, or 3 mo. Lipid oxidation, volatiles, color values, gas production, and oxidation-reduction potential of the samples were determined. Irradiation produced off-odor volatiles associated with lipid oxidation and sulfur-volatiles; the off-odor was much higher in aerobic packaging. Vo...

With regard to the importance of antioxidants in foods, cosmetics and pharmaceutics, there are several studies on natural resources for finding rich sources of antioxidants and their role in protecting the body against oxidative stress injuries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant stability of arbutin and the Pyrus boissieriana buhse Leaf extract and their effects on li...
