Summary

THIOBARBITURIC ACID REACTIVE MATERIAL WAS PRODUCED IN PIECES OF BOVINE SEMITENDINOSUS MUSCLE AND ADIPOSE TISSUE DURING STORAGE AT 275 + OR -2 K (2 + OR -2 DEG C) AND 263 + OR -2 K (-10 + OR -2 DEG C). THE PROCESS WAS FASTER IN MUSCLE AND THE TOTAL CONTENT, HIGHER AT 275 K THAN AT 263 K. THE EFFECT OF SPRAYING BUTYLATED HYDROXYTOLUENE AND A CITRIC ACID -EDTA (ETHYLENE-DIAMINE-TETRAACETIC ACID) -ASCORBIC ACID MIXTURE ON THE PRODUCTION OF MALONALDEHYDE WAS STUDIED. DECLINES IN BOTH SATURATED AND UNSATURATED FATTY ACID PROPORTIONS OF THE POLAR LIPIDS WITHOUT INCREASES IN THE CONTENT OF FREE FATTY ACIDS SUGGEST THAT ENZYMES REMAIN ACTIVE AT LOW TEMPERATURES. MALONALDEHYDE PRODUCTION WAS INHIBITED BY SPRAYING ANTIOXIDANTS IN EARLY STAGES OF THE SLAUGHTERING PROCESS.
