Discusses the mechanisms of free radical oxidation and their control through critical chemical interactions. Includes coverage of how hydroperoxides resulting from lipid oxidation may adversely affect flavor, aroma, taste, nutritional value, and overall food quality. Examines mechanisms offree-radical processes, prevention of lipid oxidation, methodology, processing effects on lipid oxidation, and descriptive sensory analysis. Commodities covered include: beef, pork, fresh and saltwater fish, peanuts, vegetable oils, and baby foods
