Abstract
Ground beef was heated to temperatures ranging from 60 to 120 °C and was stored at 5 °C for 0–7 days. The oxidative status of the meat samples was quantified by sensory evaluation and by measurement of thiobarbituricacid-reactive substances (TBARS). A model describing the effect of moderate heating temperatures (60–80 °C) and chill storage time on the development of TBARS has been developed previously, and experiments were conducted to evaluate and extend this model. It was demonstrated that the model could be used for prediction of the individual effects of heating time and heating temperature. The level of TBARS during chill storage almost doubled when the heating temperature increased from 60 °C to 70 °C, but it was unaffected by increasing heating temperatures from 70 °C to 100 °C. Higher heating temperatures caused a remarkable increase in the oxidative stability, TBARS hardly increased during storage after heating to 110 °C or 120 °C. A more elaborate model was developed to describe the effect of heating temperatures in the range of between 60 °C–120 °C on development of TBARS, but the predictive value turned out to be unsatisfactory. The sensory evaluations were highly correlated with TBARS, and the use of TBARS as a measure of warmed-over flavour was verified.
