ABSTRACT
Malondialdehyde (C3H4C2) is
a deleterious by-product of lipid metabolism in the body. It is present in many
foods and can be found in rancid food. (Yahya. N.D et cii 1996) Pure
rnalondialdehyde (MDA) is unstable and is precipitated as a sodium salt
immediately before it is used in biossay . Recent studies of purity analysis by
ultraviolet established that malondiadehyde (propandiol, sodium salt) was
stable with no notable degradation for 2 years when stored at 200 C MDA is a
three carbon compound with a molecular weight of 72.06 and a melting point of
72°C. Its presence in foods generally has been associated with oxidative
rancidity (Sinnhuber and Yu, 1958, Koning and Silk, 1963). MDA is metabolized
in vivo and invitro by oxidation to semialdehyde and decarboxycation to
acetycaldehyde (Siu and Draper, 1982). However, it has also been found in a
number of fresh supermarket products, including meat (Buckler et a!, 1972),
fish (Kuss et al, 1975), vegetable oil (Arya and Nirmala, 1971) and orange
juice essence (Braddock and Petrus, 1971)
