Rapid Kinetic Fluorogenic Quantification of Malondialdehyde in Ground Beef

Malondialdehyde (MDA), a mutagenic and carcinogenic compound, is widely studied in the meat industry and lipid peroxidation research due to its implications for food quality and safety. Current methods for quantifying MDA in solid tissues are labor- intensive, requiring multiple instruments and approximately two hours to complete. This study presents an ultrafast kinetic fluorogenic method for quantifying MDA in ground beef, utilizing 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) as a fluorogenic probe. The...
