Abstract: A comprehensive review was made on the chemical mechanism of aldehyde production during lipid oxidation inmeat and its assay by 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test. The specificity of the TBA test as well as the reaction activity ofaldehydes in TBA test was discussed in detail. The usage of TBA test as a general procedure to assay lipid oxidation in meatsystem was of special interest.

Key words: Meat , Lipid oxidation , TBA test , Aldehyde
