Recent Trends in Food Applications of Antioxidants

- pp 295-365
TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss the important trends of the past seven years in applications of antioxidants in foods and discuss the use of commonly added synthetic antioxidants and four naturally occurring ones, namely α-tocopherol and ascorbic.Abstract:
In this paper, I shall discuss the important trends of the past seven years in applications of antioxidants in foods. The nature and course of lipid autoxidation and antioxidant action have been treated in a previous paper of this Symposium (Symposium, 1979), as has the effect of water activity. Other papers will deal with the biological effects of antioxidant use, including antimicrobial action. Natural antioxidants will also be treated elsewhere. Therefore, I shall discuss primarily the use of the commonly added synthetic antioxidants (Fig. 1) and four naturally occurring ones — α-tocopherol and ascorbic (Fig. 2), citric and phosphoric acids, which common usage seems to segregate from the “natural” antioxidants. In addition, I shall handle many secondary antioxygenic compounds and treatments, such as oxygen exclusion or scavenging, browning antioxidants, and products produced by fermentation, smoking, nitrite curing, and hydrolysis of vegetable protein.read more

Lipid Oxidation in Oil-in-Water Emulsions: Impact of Molecular Environment on Chemical Reactions in Heterogeneous Food Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the current understanding of the lipid oxidation mechanism in oil-in-water emulsions and discussed the major factors that influence the rate of lipid oxidation, such as antioxidants, chelating agents, ingredient purity, ingredient partitioning, interfacial characteristics, droplet characteristics, and ingredient interactions.

Kinetics of lipid oxidation in foods
Theodore P. Labuza,L. R. Dugan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic kinetics of lipid oxidation can be simplified for application to the study of food deterioration, and the physical and chemical factors that control oxidation are examined and analyzed in terms of food structure and composition.
