Abstract
To investigate the effect of antioxidants on lipid oxidation and fatty acid composition in pressurized pork, minced pork with or without 1% Na2EDTA was pressurized at 500MPa before 7days storage at 4°C. TBARS value, lipid content and fatty acid composition in untreated and high-pressure (HP) treated samples were analyzed. HP treatment induced marked increases in TBARS values and lipolysis of partial phospholipids causing an increase of free fatty acid content. Preferential hydrolysis for polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in phospholipids resulted in the percentage of PUFA in phospholipids decreasing markedly and thereby that in free fatty acids increasing significantly. Addition of 1% Na2EDTA to minced pork before HP significantly decreased the TBARS values in pressurized samples, but did not inhibit the lipolysis of phospholipids, causing the fatty acid composition of phospholipids and free fatty acids to change similarly to those samples without Na2EDTA.
