The influence of heat treatment type on the fat component and heterocyclic aromatic amines formation in minced poultry meat products by M. A. Aslanova, O. K. Derevitskaya, A. S. Dydykin, A. L. Bero, N. E. Soldatova

“…Heat treatment of enriched semi-finished products by microwave cooking and by steam cooking showed a lesser effect on the change in the content and composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids — the loss of fatty acids was 1.2% and 2.8%, respectively, while in the “convection” cooking mode with preliminary roasting this loss was equal to 3.5%. It was found that the antioxidant complex in the composition of the food product and gentle heat treatment methods cause less lipid peroxidation and the formation of carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) during the food manufacturing process.…”
