Minimizing Process Induced Prooxidant Stresses

  • Chapter
Process-Induced Chemical Changes in Food

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 434))

Abstract

The adverse effects of trace metals, heat, steam and other conditions encountered in food processing relate to the acceleration of development of rancidity. Measures to retard oxidation of lipids, vitamins, pigments and proteins include elimination of prooxidants, removal of oxygen and use of blends of inhibitors formulated for specific substrates.
