Summary

LIPID OXIDATION IN PRERIGOR GROUND PORCINE MUSCLES AS AFFECTED BY ETHYLENEDIAMINETETRAACETIC ACID (EDTA) AND FERRIC CHLORIDE WAS STUDIED OVER A 12-DAY STORAGE PERIOD. INCREASING EDTA CONCENTRATIONS FROM 0.02 TO 2.0% IN THE PRESENCE OF 0.009% FERRIC CHLORIDE PRODUCED INCREASING INHIBITORY EFFECTS ON OXIDATION. EXTREMELY LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF EDTA (0.002%) IN THE PRESENCE OF ADDED FERRIC CHLORIDE ENHANCED THE RATE OF OXIDATION. IRON CONTENT ANALYSES SHOWED THAT POSTRIGOR GROUND MUSCLE HAD A SLIGHTLY HIGHER FREE IRON CONTENT THAN PRERIGOR GROUND MUSCLE.
