The Effect of Borage Seed Oil (Borago officinalis L.) and Matcha Tea Powder (Camellia sinensis L.) on the Physicochemical Properties, Oxidative Stability, Color, and Tenderness of Vacuum-Packed Lamb Meatloaf During Storage

In this study, the effects of borage seed oil (BO) and matcha tea (MT) on the physicochemical properties, oxidative stability, color, and tenderness of vacuum-packed lamb meatloaf during 14 days of refrigerated storage were evaluated. No significant effect of the plant additives was observed on cooking yield (66%) or pH (≈5.95). Samples with added oil had a higher fat content, which contributed to hydrolytic and oxidative changes that were already evident immediately after production. The...
