Use of L-(+)-alpha-tocopherol and carboxyhaemoglobin as inhibitors of conversion of haem pigments
L-(+)-alpha-Tocopherol acetate and carboxyhaemoglobin were added to exptl. meat samples as biocomposite emulsion films to limit the deterioration of haem pigments during the meat storage for 15 days. Antioxidant activity of L-(+)-alpha-tocopherol to oxy and deoxy forms of myoglobin was obsd. Myoglobin formed carboxy dyes when carboxyhemoglobin was used in exptl. emulsions. The depth penetration of emulsion was increase after addn. of dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate and carboxyhemoglobin.
