Notes:
Lipid oxidation was investigated in cooked gluteus medius from Holstein steers fed diets including four levels of α-tocopheryl acetate (0, 250, 500 and 2,000 mg/steer daily) for 42 or 126 days. Alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) concentrations increased in fresh and cooked muscle due to level and duration of supplementation (P〈0.01). Cooking did not affect α-tocopherol concentration in the muscle. Dietary α-tocopheryl acetate delayed (P〈0.01) accumulation of lipid oxidation products in cooked muscle during 6 days of display at 4°. Daily supplementation of 500 mg α-tocopheryl acetate for 126 days resulted in 3.4 μg α-tocopherol/g cooked gluteus medius.
