Summary

Alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene at 0.03% level and sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) at 0.2% and 0.3% levels, alone and in combination, were added to ground turkey and ground pork. Hexanal was measured after cooking and storage at 4 °C for 2, 4, or 6 d. alpha-tocopherol alone significantly reduced hexanal of stored cooked turkey but had no effect in pork. STP was more effective than alpha-tocopherol and a combination of alpha-tocopherol with STP resulted in enhanced antioxidant activity. Hexanal of pork with 0.03% alpha-tocopherol plus 0.3% STP did not increase significantly during storage; that of turkey increased only slightly. Beta-carotene and salt (1% NaCl) had no effect on hexanal.
