“…The progress in the understanding of the biological significance of protein oxidation has been enabled by the elucidation of the molecular basis of the initiation, progression, and formation of protein oxidation products. Often criticized for the restricted application of their results to complex food systems, mechanistic studies in model systems have been highly valuable to provide insight into the chemistry of protein oxidation (Bao, Boeren, & Ertbjerg, ; Chen, Diao, Li, Chen, & Kong, ; Geng et al., ; Jongberg et al., ; Luna, & Estévez, ; Rysman et al., ; Yang & Xiong, ). The oxidation of proteins has been recognized as a complex chain reaction owing to the variety of mechanisms and oxidation products potentially formed (Dean et al., ).…”
