Susceptibility of Conventional and Organic Chicken Breast and Thigh Meat to Lipid and Protein Oxidation During Heating and In Vitro Digestion.

ABSTRACT: It was hypothesized that differences in production system and muscle type may influence the formation of lipid oxidation products (LOP) as well as protein oxidation (protein carbonyl compounds, PCC) during the in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of chicken meat. To test our hypothesis, we investigated the formation of LOP and PCC after heating and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of conventional and organic chicken breast and thigh meat and Wooden Breast meat. Prior to the in vitro digestion, thigh and breast meat was minced and heated. Digests of organic thigh meat had significantly higher levels of all LOP measured compared to conventional thigh meat (between +37% and +173%). Lower levels of LOP were found in digests of breast meat regardless of the production system and Wooden Breast
