Abstract
The objective of the study was to examine the effect of storing meat dumplings in cooling and freezing conditions on the content of fat, cholesterol, and cholesterol oxidation products. The stuffing of fresh and frozen meat dumplings was analyzed. The content of fat in the stuffing of frozen meat dumplings decreased during their 14 day storage, but it did not significantly change in the stuffing of fresh dumplings. Two week storage of fresh meat dumplings with meat stuffing in cooling conditions led to a higher decrease in the cholesterol value than in the samples of meat dumplings after their storage in freezing conditions. A higher increase was found in the total cholesterol oxidation products contained in the meat stuffing of the dumplings stored in freezing conditions compared to the stuffing of dumplings stored in cooling conditions.
