“…To maintain the desired color, plant-derived antioxidants have been tested on fresh meat with positive impacts because of the interrelationship between lipid peroxidation and myoglobin stability (Baron & Andersen, 2002;Faustman, Sun, Mancini, & Suman, 2010;Joseph, Nair, & Suman, 2015;Wettasinghe & Shahidi, 1997b).
