This work investigated the interrelationship among myoglobin, lipid, and protein oxidations in rabbit meat during refrigerated and superchilled storage. Peroxide value gradually increased (p < 0.05) and decreased thereafter (p > 0.05) with increased storage time for both storage treatments. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) significantly increased (p < 0.05) throughout the storage time for the storage temperature considered. The metmyoglobin proportion markedly increased (p < 0.05) and remained constant thereafter (p > 0.05). For both storage temperature levels, the extractable heme iron content significantly declined (p < 0.05), whereas non-heme iron content considerably increased (p < 0.05). With prolonged storage time, the protein carbonyl content significantly increased (p < 0.05), along with significant loss in sulfhydryl content (p < 0.05). Superchilled samples maintained lower rates of increase in metmyoglobin content, TBARS, and protein carbonyl content compared with refrigerated samples. Moreover, principal component analysis presented good correlations between TBARS, protein carbonyls and metmyoglobin content. Taken together, myoglobin, lipid and protein oxidations occurred concurrently in rabbit meat during both storage treatments and each oxidation process seemed to promote the other.

Photosensitizers and pigments in raw meat such as porphyrins, riboflavin, and myoglobin after incorporation with light beam prompt the generation of singlet oxygen (O) from triplet oxygen (O) and cause oxidative rancidity of meat products. In this study, the results of photooxidation reactions of sheep erythrocyte (red blood cell) model as a model rich in hemoglobin and phospholipids bilayer, and oleic acid model were obtained by H NMR spectroscopy, TBARS assay, and iodometric titration. In both models, the rate of lipid photooxidation in the presence of hydroalcoholic extracts of Turmeric ( L.

This study compared the performance, meat quality and adipose tissue characteristics of Krškopolje pigs and modern hybrid pigs under identical rearing conditions, besides examining the effects of dietary protein reduction in both genotypes. A total of 29 pigs (14 Krškopolje and 15 hybrids) were assigned to litter into two dietary groups (high and low protein). The low-protein diet for hybrid pigs corresponded to the high-protein diet for Krškopolje pigs.

As a pro-oxidant, myoglobin (Mb) can induce lipid oxidation in meat. In this study, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrophotometry, and fluorescence microscopy were used to evaluate the impact of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) formed from glucose and lysine on the oxidative stability of carp Mb. MRPs were found to inhibit the auto-oxidation of Mb, reducing MetMb production by 8.
