Effect of Citrus Flavonoid on Storage Time and Meat Quality of Pharaoh Quail (Coturnix Pharaoh)

This study investigates the effects of Hesperidin added to quail ration at different rates on some microbiological and physicochemical, lipid peroxidation, profiles in thigh meat. The current had a duration 35 days used Pharaoh quails (Coturnix Pharaoh). grouping was done three treatment groups: Control, HES500, HES1000 (each group divided into five subgroups), 0, 500, 1000 mg/kg basal diet groups, respectively. Adding storage time affected pH parameter It colour parameters depending upon (p<0.05). There significant difference number total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMAB) comparison with control according Palmitic, α-linolenic, oleic acid, eicosapentaenoic, docosahexaenoic acids, which are among individual fatty differed between control, HES500 groups addition reduced peroxidation 3rd, 5th, 7th Consequently, direct proportion hypothesis beginning study, it specified that adding its concentration oxidation positive effect meat quality terms parameters.
