Mechanism of Lipid Peroxidation in Meat and Meat Products -A Review


B. Min and D. U. Ahn
Department of Animal Science, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 Abstract Lipid peroxidation is a primary cause of quality deterioration in meat and meat products. Free radical chain reaction is the mechanism of lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radical and hydroperoxyl radical are the major initiators of the chain reaction. Lipid peroxyl radical and alkoxyl radical formed from the initial reactions are also capable of abstracting a hydrogen atom from lipid molecules to initiate the chain reaction and propagating the chain reaction. Much attention has been paid to the role of iron as a primary catalyst of lipid peroxidation. Especially, heme proteins such as myoglobin and hemoglobin and free iron have been regarded as major catalysts for initiation, and iron-oxygen complexes (ferryl and perferryl radical) are even considered as initiators of lipid peroxidation in meat and meat products. Yet, which iron type and how iron is involved in lipid peroxidation in meat are still debatable. This review is focused on the potential roles of ROS and iron as primary initiators and a major catalyst, respectively, on the development of lipid peroxidation in Keywords: Lipid peroxidation, mechanism, reactive oxygen species, catalyst, meat meat and meat products. Effects of various other factors such as meat species, muscle type, fat content, oxygen availability, cooking, storage temperature, the presence of salt that affect lipid peroxidation in meat and meat products are also discussed.

Introduction

lipid peroxidation in meat and meat products.

Consumer concerns on the quality of meat and meat Mechanism of lipid peroxidation products have greatly increased during past decades. Quality and healthfulness were reported to be one of Lipid peroxidation is a free radical chain reaction that is the most important factors for influencing consumers comprised of three primary steps: initiation, propagation, choice for foods (1). Three sensory quality characteristics and term ination. Initiation of lipid peroxidation takes place appearance/color, texture, and flavor are the main quality by attack of any species that has sufficient reactivity to attributes that affect consumer acceptance of meat, and abstract a labile hydrogen atom from a methylene group in lipid peroxidation is the primary cause of these quality lipid molecules (LH) to form lipid radicals (L1 ) (Equation deteriorations in meat primarily occurs through a free Lipid peroxidation and meat products (2). 1). radical chain reaction, and oxygen is the most important LH + Initiator1 +L1+ InitiatorH (reduced form) factor on the development of lipid peroxidation in meat (3, (Equation 1) 4). Theoretically, oxygen molecule and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) cannot interact with each other because Wagner et al. (9) reported that the amount of lipid radical of thermodynamic constraints. Ground state oxygen does generated increased with the total number of bis-allylic not have strong enough reactivity, but can be converted to carbons, and suggested that the number of bis-allylic reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydroxyl radical carbons in lipid molecules determines their susceptibility (1 OH), superoxide anion (O21 -), hydrogen peroxide to lipid peroxidation. More importantly, the rate of lipid (H2O21 ), hydroperoxyl radical (HO2 1 ), lipid peroxyl peroxidation exponentially increased with the number of radical (LOO1 ), alkoxyl radical (LO1 ), iron-oxygen bis-allylic carbons although lipid chain length had no complexes (ferryl- and perferryl radical) and singlet relationship with the rate of radical formation. The oxygen (1 O2), some of which are highly reactive to initiate differences in the initiation rate of lipid peroxidation are lipid peroxidation. In addition, numerous agents such as closely related to the dissociation energies of various enzymes and transition metals can directly or indirectly carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds in fatty acid chains. The catalyze these oxidative processes through enzymic and weakest C-H bond is at bis-allylic position, whose bond nonenzymic mechanisms. Especially, iron plays a critical energy is 75-80 kcal/mol, and those at allylic position and Many comprehensive reviews on the mechanism of lipid role in lipid peroxidation process as a major catalyst. alkyl C-H bond are 88 kcal/mol and 101 kcal/mol, peroxidation in muscle foods, includin g the major initiators respectively (10, 11).

Lipid Oxidation in Meat and Meat Products leaves unpaired electron on the carbon of the chain (L1 ) because H1 has only one electron. This carbon radical tends to be stabilized by a molecular rearrangement to form a conjugated diene. The conjugated diene formed can go through various reactions, depending on O2 concentration in biological system. Under aerobic conditions, the most likely fate of conjugated dienes is to react with oxygen molecules (O2) to form a LOO (Equation 2):

Numerous secondary derivatives of hydroperoxides can be decomposed via homolytic and heterolytic -scission catalyzed by transitional metal ions to generate a huge range of volatile and nonvolatile compounds such as carbonyls (e.g. ketones and aldehydes), alcohols, hydrocarbons (e.g. alkane, alkene), and furans (Equation 2) L1+ O2 LOO1 that contribute to the flavor deterioration in many foods On the other hand, under very low O2 conditions, a (18). Hexanal, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-nonenal, and 4-hydroxy-2conjugated diene can react to each other within the trans-nonenal (HNE) are reported to be originated from nmembranes or other membrane components such as 6 fatty acids and propanal, 4-heptenal, 2,4-heptadienal, 2protein and cholesterol (12). The formation of conjugated hexenal, 2,4,7-decatrienal, 1,5-octadien-3-ol, 2,5-octadiendienes is accompanied by the configuration changes of the 1-ol, 1,5-octadien-3-one, and 2,6-nonadienal are from n-3 double bond from cis to trans form, which may allow fatty acids (5, 19). Among these volatiles, aldehydes are unsaturated fatty acids to pack more tightly, leading to the one of most abundant, and are highly reactive and regarded creation of more rigid domains within bilayer of oxidized as second toxic messengers that disseminate and augment lipid (13). This abnormal conjugated diene can be one of initial free radical reactions (20). Aldehydes generated from the most important markers for lipid peroxidation in lipid peroxidation were reported to be capable of reacting In the propagation step various meat systems. (Equation 3), LOO1 formed is with protein to form adducts which may be related to the able to abstract H1 from another lipid molecule such as deterioration of protein stability and functionality (21). neighboring or surrounding fatty acids to form lipid Also, Lynch and Faustman (22) suggested that aldehydes hydroperoxide (LOOH): increase oxymyoglobin oxidation and prooxidant activity of metmyoglobin and decrease the enzymatic reduction of LOO1 + LH LOOH + L1 (Equation 3) metmyoglobin, which is directly related to the deterioration of meat color and flavor. The primary aldehydes Hydrogen abstraction from a bis-allylic position on the fatty acid chain by LOO1 is favorable with Gibbs free generated during lipid peroxidation in stored beef are energy of -9 kcal/mol (10). In addition, because LOO1 has propanal, pentenal, hexanal, and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) a higher standard reduction potential (+1.0V) than lipid molecule itself (+0.60 V) does, it can oxidize favorably an (21). Hexanal among aldehydes is the most prevailing adjacent PUFA. Newly formed L1 can form another LOO1 volatile generated from cooked meat. It has been suggested as an index of meat flavor deterioration (MFD) during by reacting with O2, so the free radical chain reaction can early storage stages of cooked meat because its continue. LOOH is a prominent non-radical intermediate concentration increased more quickly than any other of lipid peroxidation whose identification often provides aldehydes (23). In addition, HNE is known to have valuable information on the related mechanisms.

LOOHs can disrupt the integral structure and function of Although oxygen is essential for life, it can cause damages the m embrane, resulting in deleterious effect to cells and to various cells. The toxicity of oxygen is caused not by tissues. LOOHs may undergo various reactions, depending oxygen itself, but by the increased production of ROS. on environments in cell or tissue.

The autoxidation of heme proteins (27, 28) and enzymes associated with metabolism such as xanthine oxidase (29) are other major sources.

Also, O21 - is suggested to decrease the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes such as catalase and glutathione peroxidase (39). Meanwhile, O21 - is indicated to serve not only as a reducing agent for Fe (III), but also as an oxidant for Fe(II) depending on the ligands or chelators of iron. Ahn et al.

Furthermore, much of O2 1 - generated in in red blood cells is probably oxyhemoglobin autoxidation. cell may be produced near m embrane by membrane-boundChan et al.

Harel and Kanner (43) reported that turkey muscle tissues stored at 37oC for 30 minutes generated permeate deep into liposomal bilayer (32). Subsequently, almost 14.0 nmol H2O2 per gram of fresh weight and its some part of O2 1- present near membrane could exist as generation increased with storage at 4o C. HO21 . Uncharged conditions of HO21 , unlike O21 -, allow H2 O2 is not a radical because it has no unpaired it to permeate into membrane lipid bilayer, where it could electron, and has limited reactivity and permeability to initiate lipid peroxidation process by abstracting hydrogen biological membrane unlike the charged O21 - (44).
