the malondialdehyde concentration after treatment. Briefly, chicken breast
samples (0.5 g) were prepared in triplicate in a 25 mL TBARS test tube, adding
an antioxidant mixture (0.1 g). Three milliliters of 1% TBA in
0.3% NaOH was added to the mixture, which was then vortexed, followed by
the addition of 17 mL of 2.5% trichloroacetic acid in 36 mM HCl. After
the tubes were sealed, they were heated in a water bath (BW-20G, Biotechnical
Services, North Little Rock, AR, USA) at 100°C for 30 min. The tubes were
directly immersed in ice water once heating was completed. Every 5 mL of aqueous
sample was moved to a new 15 mL conical tube and mixed with 3 mL of chloroform.
The mixtures were subsequently subjected to centrifugation at 2,400×g for
30 min at 4°C (1248R, Labogene, Lynge, Denmark). The absorbance was
recorded at 532 nm using a UV spectrophotometer (UV-mini 1240 PC, Shimadzu,
Kyoto, Japan) and compared against a blank.
