The TBARS values (mg malondialdehyde/kg sample) of beef patties in MAP atmosphere during refrigerated storage for 10 days without light.

Control = beef patty without antioxidants, 0.1% BHT = beef patty with 0.1% (w/w) of butylated hydroxytoluene, 0.1% BP = beef patty with 0.1% (w/w) of BP extract, 0.3% BP = beef patty with 0.3% (w/w) of BP extract. Each sample was measured in triplicate and the average standard deviation for each sample was less than 5%.
