Abstract
ABSTRACTBreast and leg meat patties, prepared from turkeys fed diets containing 25, 200, 400 or 600 IU of dl‐α‐tocopheryl acetate (TA) per kg diet, were irradiated at 0 or 2.5 kGy with vacuum or loose packaging. The effects of dietary TA on storage stability and production of volatiles in irradiated raw turkey meat were determined. Dietary TA at > 200 IU/kg decreased lipid oxidation and reduced total volatiles of raw turkey patties after 7‐days of storage. However, the antioxidant effects of dietary TA were more notable when the patties were loosely packaged than when vacuum‐packaged. Irradiation increased lipid oxidation of raw turkey meats only when loosely packaged but had limited effects on formation of total volatiles after storage at 4°C for 7 days or longer.
