Light‐induced flavour deterioration. The effect of exposure to light of pork luncheon meat containing erythrosine

Abstract: When exposed to fluorescent light (250-1000 Ix) at 4"C, luncheon meat containing erythrosine undergoes marked flavour deterioration in a few hours which is perceived mainly as a loss of flavour. The effect increased with light intensity and time of exposure but is absent in luncheon meat without added colours or with Red 2G in place of erythrosine. The results are consistent with the unique ability of erythrosine (amongst artificial food colours) to act as a sensitiser of photo-oxidation.

“…Color stability of meat products under retail conditions is affected by factors such as product pH, addition of salt, packaging material, storage temperature and exposure to light (Bertelsen and Skibsted, 1987;Andersen et al, 1989;Torres et al, 1988;Chen et al, 1989;Andersen et al, 1990). Many such factors are the same as those which have been found to determine oxidative stability of lipids and, thereby, taste and odor of meat products (Lea, 1931;Lentz, 1971;Satterlee and Hansmeyer, 1974;Chan et al, 1977;Whang et al, 1986). The color change in meat from attractive bright red to unacceptable brown hues occurring during processing and storage is primarily due to formation of the oxidized pigment metmyoglobin from oxymyoglobin (Walters, 1974).…”

“…Singlet oxygen can be produced by photosensitizers such as chlorophyll in soybean oil (Lee and Min 1988, 1990), riboflavin in milk (Li and others 2000), and myoglobin and its derivative in meat (Whang and Peng 1988). FD &C Red Nr 3, which has been used to improve the appearance of processed foods, is a good photosensitizer leading to lipid oxidation in pork products, methyl linoleate, cholesterol, and model food systems (Chan and others 1977; Umehara and others 1980; Chung and others 1997; Yang and others 2002).…”
