Natural metal-chelating protein, lactoferrin, potentially influences lipid oxidation, microbiology and browning (attributed to combined enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation) of minimally-processed green vegetable-based food emulsions, depending on milieu conditions. We have compared the effect combinations of antioxidative and antimicrobial agents on microbial count, lipid oxidation and browning in fresh-basil ('pesto') spreads. Browning was determined by colour lighness changes, applying colour evaluation, by means of multivariate image analysis. Addition of 80 and 400 mg/kg lactoferrin reduced primary lipid oxidation products accumulation (peroxide value) in separated oil phase of the products, as well as Lactobacillus sp. counts, after 1 month of sample storage at 4 deg C. Oxidation induction time (OIT), determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and browning rate were slightly negatively affected in samples containing lactoferrin and 0.5g/kg of ascorbic acid.
