Abstract

Hexanal (I), 1-octen-3-one (II), (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal (III), (E,E)-2,4-decadienal (IV) andtrans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal (V) were quantified in cooked meat (beef, pork, chicken) in which the warmed-over flavour (WOF) was observed after storage for 2 days at 4°C. Odour activity values of the compounds on the basis of odour threshold values in water revealed that compounds I and V contributed most strongly to WOF. During the storage, free iron but not metmyoglobin catalysed the increase of compounds I, II, IV and V in models containing the lipids of beef meat.
