The objective of this study was to investigate the oxidation activity and lipid oxidation changes in breast (BM) and leg (LM) muscles from 17-wk-old female White Koluda geese packaged in a vacuum, and stored in freezing conditions at-20°C. The geese were fed ad libitum during the experimental period (up to 17 wk) on the same complete feed. The samples of LM (n = 18) and BM (n = 18) from the right carcass were stored for 30, 90, 80, 270, and 365 d. Lipid oxidation was described by determining changes in: TBARS value expressing the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC) measured by DPPH and ABTS methods and total reduction potential (TRP) measured by FRAP method. Moreover, total heam pigments pigment (THP), relative concentration of myoglobin (Mb), oxymyoglobin (MbO2), and metmyoglobin (MMb) were determined in this study. Time of storage affected the TAC, TRP, TBARS, and...
