Storage and microwave reheating effects on lipid oxidation of roast beef
Abstract:
Sensory analysis and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) tests were conducted on beef (Longissimus muscle) which had been roasted in a conventional electric oven at 163 degrees C (325 degrees F), sliced and stored in either a vacuum package or in a casserole at 4 degrees C (40 degrees F), for two or for seven days, and then reheated in a conventional or in a microwave oven. Methods of reheating, microwave or conventional oven, did not influence sensory scores for warmed-over aroma or flavor or TBA values. Method of packaging influenced both sensory scores and TBA values whereas length of storage affected only TBA values.

Oxidations of Aldehydes and Ketones to Carboxylic Acids
Aldehydes readily undergo oxidation in strong oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate and chromic acid. The oxidation can also be carried out using mild oxidizing agents such as silver oxide. In fact, aldehydes can be easily oxidized...
