What does 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde use in the food industry?

2-Nitrobenzaldehyde is used as a protective agent in food products. It exhibits a significant inhibitory effect on photodiscolouration in mutton, effectively suppressing the generation of singlet oxygen thereby inhibiting meat colour changes and erythrocyte photodegradation. It is suitable for preserving meat and foodstuffs (preventing light-induced damage) and may be applied within the packaging industry.
