Abstract
Lipid and protein oxidation are important reactions in food systems and can degrade
food quality and decrease consumer acceptability. Several factors affect the rate and severity of
these undesirable reactions in food products. However, lipid and protein oxidations can occur in
the digestive system, which is much more complex than in simple food systems. Under digestive
conditions, food matrix and composition are the major factors affecting lipid and protein
oxidations in the body. Lipid and protein oxidation in food matrixes or the digestive system, as
well as product absorption rate, can have serious consequences for human health. This review
aimed to present recent information and discussion on the effects of digestion conditions and
natural and synthetic antioxidants on lipid and protein oxidation.
Keywords:
Digestion, fat, health, lipid oxidation, protein oxidation, nutrition.
