Lipoxygenases are widespread enzymes that catalyze oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acid) to produce hydroperoxides. Lipoxygenase reactions can be desirable, but also lipoxygenases can react in undesirable ways. Most of the products of lipoxygenase reactions are aromatic compounds that can affect food properties, especially during long-term storage. Lipoxygenase action on unsaturated fatty acids could result in off-flavor/off-odor development, causing food spoilage. In addition, lipoxygenases are present in the human body and play an important role in stimulation of inflammatory reactions. Inflammation is linked to many diseases, such as cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. This review summarized recent research on plant families and species that can inhibit lipoxygenase activity.

A diet high in whole grains, dry beans, and certain vegetables that contributed dietary fiber, plant protein, and B vitamins resulted in high short chain fatty acids, while a diet high in diary and processed meats that provided cholesterol and little fiber resulted in high branched chain fatty acids and ammonia during fecal fermentation of inulin.

Whole inshore male capelin (Mallotus villosus) were stored at −23 °C for 2 mo (C2), or 6 mo (C6) prior to thawing, beheading and eviscerating, and refreezing. Though the quality of the twice-frozen product was in both cases inferior to a once-frozen sample, it was still quite acceptable after 2 yr of refrozen storage. As expected, quality was superior in the C2 samples, but in both sets of samples taste deteriorated to a greater extent than texture. Chemical measurement of peroxide value indicated a possible development of rancidity that could not be detected by sensory analysis. Considerable lipid hydrolysis occurred, with the free fatty acids (FFA) at least doubling during storage; increases were greater in C6. In both experiments FFA production correlated with texture, taste, and with extractable protein nitrogen (EPN). Dimethylamine (DMA), trimethylamine (TMA), hypoxanthine, and EPN appeared to be good indicators of storage time and sensory quality. Key words: capelin, dimethylamine (DMA), extractable protein nitrogen (EPN), free fatty acids (FFA), hypoxanthine, peroxide value, refrozen storage, taste, texture, trimethylamine
