β¦ Synopsis
The changes in the overall antioxidant properties of tomato juice samples and model solutions as a consequence of heat treatments were studied. The antioxidant properties were evaluated both through the measurement of the chain breaking and the oxygen scavenging activities. While a decrease in the antioxidant potential was found for short heat treatments, a recovery of these properties was measured by prolonging heating times. Results suggested that the initial reduction in the overall antioxidant activity can be attributed not only to the thermal degradation of naturally occurring antioxidants but also to the formation of early Maillard reaction products (MRP) with prooxidant properties. The gain in antioxidant activity coincided with the formation of brown MRP.

## Abstract Tomatoes may have a great impact in the prevention of some types of cancer. This protective effect has been attributed to lycopene. The biosynthesis of lycopene is affected by environmental conditions. If the temperature of the fruits exceeds 30 Β°C, the synthesis of lycopene is inhibite
Juices from beef semimembranosus/adductor tissue, cooked to endpoint temperatures (EPTs) of 76, 78, 80, 82 and 84Β‘C in a model heat-treating system, were evaluated for changes in CIELAB L \*a\*b\*, chroma (C) and hue angle (H) values before and after storage of the cooked meat at [20Β‘C for 3 weeks a
