Abstract
ABSTRACTThe decrease in free nitrite in aqueous solutions of nitrite and ascorbic acid (AsA), ascorbic acid‐2‐phosphate (AsA‐2‐P) or ascorbic acid‐2‐sulfate (AsA‐2‐S) was studied. Both AsA‐2‐P and AsA‐2‐S reacted with nitrite as did AsA. The rate of the reaction followed the order AsA > AsA‐2‐P > AsA‐2‐S. The reaction solution of AsA and nitrite did nitrosate cytochrome c and regenerate nitrite, but the reaction solution of nitrite with either AsA‐2‐P or AsA‐2‐S did not. When surimi with myoglobin added as a pigment was used as a model meat curing system, the addition of AsA‐2‐P and AsA‐2‐S did not participate in the reactions resulting in development of cured meat color.
