Safety and Quality of Chicken Meat Products

One hundred samples of ten poultry meat products were collected from AL-Ahsa markets (King Saudi Arabia). The samples were ranked from carcass cuts “filet and thigh” to minced meat or further processed products as burger, nuggets, frankfurter and meat paste loaf. Samples were collected in triplicate for sensory, chemical and microbiological analysis to assure their quality and safety. The obtai...

Changes in Meat Quality Characteristics of the Sous-vide Cooked Chicken Breast during Refrigerated Storage

This study was performed to investigate the changes in meat quality characteristics of the sous vide cooked chicken breast during refrigerated storage at 4℃ for 14 d between before and after sous-vide cooking. Cooking loss and shear force were significantly increased, whereas expressible drip was significantly decreased along with reduction in the water holding capacity in both of two groups. R...

Effect of natural antioxidant combinations on lipid oxidation in cooked chicken meat during refrigerated storage.

The effect of combinations of sage, oregano and honey on lipid oxidation in cooked chicken meat during refrigeration at 4°C for 96h was determined. Chicken samples (thigh and breast) were then separated into five groups: control; butylated hydroxytoluene; oregano+sage; oregano+sage+5%honey and oregano+sage+10%honey. Quantitative measurements of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, conjugate...

Protein solubility behaviour of fresh and frozen chicken meat in slaughtering and non slaughtering condition

This work was investigated the protein solubility properties of meat from chicken in different body part. The effects of fresh and freezing condition were studied on the protein solubility as a functional property of slaughter and non slaughtering chicken meat. Solubility of proteins was significantly reduced for slaughtering fresh meat and in contrast, non slaughtering fresh meat shows the hig...
