Flavor quality of antioxidant-treated, cooked, ground beef patties.
The antioxidant tertiary-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) reduced flavor deterioration and oxidative rancidity in cooked ground beef patties stored up to seven days at refrigerator (2.8 degrees C.) temperatures and up to twenty-one days at freezer (--20.5 degrees C.) temperatures. Freezer conditions maintained flavor quality more effectively than refrigerator temperatures in both TBHQ-treated and untreated samples.
