Summary

Meat from cattle fed supplemental vitamin E contained higher levels of alpha-tocopherol (P less than 0.05) and, over time, exhibited less lipid oxidation, brighter lean colour and lower discolouration. Monitoring supermarkets for discounted retail meats showed increased levels of alpha-tocopherol in beef, extended caselife, and decreased the incidence of discounted beef products.
