The major gation, and termination. Hydroperoxides are cholesterol oxide found in an Italian sausage the primary products of oxidation, but they was reported to be 7-ketocholesterol, while are relatively unstable and odorless, while 5,6α-5,6-epoxycholesterol was the major end the secondary products of oxidation can con- product in other analyzed sausages (Demeyer tribute to off-flavors, color deterioration, and et al. 2000). The reported values were below potential generation of toxic compounds the toxic levels, as concluded with assays (Kanner 1994). These compounds are alde- performed with laboratory animals (in vivo hydes, ketones, alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, tests) (Bösinger et al. 1993).
