Aldehyde reactivity with 2-thiobarbituric acid and TBARS in freeze-dried beef during accelerated storage

Feasibility of water cooking for pork ham processing as compared with traditional dry and wet air cooking methods

“…According to the TBARS values of the different samples, hams cooked in water and in wet air had same fat and lipid stability. Ham with dry air cooking had the lowest TBARS value, which is thought to be related to the Maillard reaction, as the products of the Maillard reaction was commonly believed as an antioxidant (Sun, Faustman, Senecal, Wilkinson, & Furr, 2001).…”

Aqueous Extracts of Dried Fruits of <i>Zanthoxylum armatum</i> DC., (Rutaceae) Induce Cellular and Nuclear Damage Coupled with Inhibition of Mitotic Activity <i>in Vivo</i>

“…The formation of substances, which react with thiobarbituric acid (TBARS), is characteristic of the terminal stage of lipid peroxidation and indicates the breakdown of peroxidised lipids. Analysis of roots of Allium bulbs incubated in varying concentrations of AEDF exhibited a concentration dependent inhibition of a yellow coloured complex, previously reported to be an aldehyde-TBA complex [41,42] (result not shown). This is in agreement with previously published reports of the inhibition of lipid peroxidation by Zanthoxylum extracts [43,44] suggesting that the cel-lular damages induced by AEDF possibly does not involve induction of lipid peroxidation and might occur via an alternative mechanism(s).…”

Interference of sodium caseinate in the TBARS assay

“…Malonaldehyde and other TBA-reactive substances can react with amino acids, proteins and others food constituents, and even with water when specific conditions are present (Kwon, Menzel, & Olcott, 1965). As an example, t-2-hexenal and hexanal, which were found by Sun et al (2001) to interact with TBA, were also found by Meynier, Rampon, Dalgalarrondo, and Genot (2004) to bind covalently with NaCas and whey proteins. In such situations where MDA is bound in the product matrix it may be unavailable for reaction with TBA, thus giving erroneously low TBARS absorbance values.…”

“…In the 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay MDA, a secondary decomposition product of polyunsaturated fatty acids with three or more double bonds, reacts with TBA to form a stable pink chromophore (Dahle, Hill, & Holman, 1962). The term TBA-reactive substances (TBARS) is more commonly used to describe the assay because the term takes into account the contribution of compounds other than MDA, such as 2,4-heptadienal, t-2-heptenal, t-2-hexenal and hexanal, to chromophore formation following reaction with TBA (Sun, Faustman, Senecal, Wilkinson, & Furr, 2001).…”
