The aim of the study was to determine the effects of different salt (1%, 1.5% and 2%) and fat (10%, 15% and 20%) levels on the content of furosine and N-epsilon-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) of kavurma (an uncured-cooked meat product) during the storage time (6 months at 4 degrees C under vacuum packaging). The increasing salt levels caused an increase in TBARS value. Kavurma with 10% fat showed the lowest mean value for TBARS. The fumsine content increased with increasing storage time. At the end of storage, however, furosine content was not affected by the salt level. Kavurma with 20% fat had a higher mean furosine content than 10% fat level at 6th months. The salt level had no significant effect on CML in kavurma, while the interaction of fat level x storage time was significant. After 4 and 6 months of storage, CML content was not affected by the fat level.
