Effect of adding lemon peels oils to gelatin edible films on some quality characteristics of storage chilled chicken breast meat: تأثير إضافة زيت قشور الليمون لأغلفة الجيلاتين القابلة للأكل في بعض صفات الجودة للحم صدر الدجاج المخزّن بالتبريد

The aim of this investigation is to specific shelf life of storage chilled chicken breast meat by filling it with gelatin-sodium alginate edible films which contain lemon peels essential oil (LPO) at various final concentrations. Lemon peels essential oil was prepared by steam distilling, and gelatin-sodium alginate edible films were prepared, and LPO was added by the following percentages (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 %). These groups were packaged in gelatin-sodium alginate edible films, then preserved at (4±1° C) for 18 days and examined after 0, 3, 7, 11, 14 and 18 days of refrigeration for total count of bacteria, freshness and chemical properties. Freshness analyses included determination of pH value and thiobarbituric acid TBA. Chemical analyses included determination of moisture, ash, fat, and protein content. The samples treated by gelatin-sodium alginate edible films with 2 % LPO had the best quality characteristics during the chilled storage period, thereby samples of chicken breast meat had saved of quality characteristics for 14 days.

Antimicrobial Potential of Plastic Films Incorporated with Sage Extract on Chicken Meat

The function of packaging is crucial in the maintenance of fresh meat product quality. This study aimed to assess the efficiency of six films added with coatings 2379L/220 and 2379L/221 (containing sage extracts) to inhibit Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli, which showed that two of the six films had a significant effect. Additionally, the effects of the films on refrigerated skinless chicken breast meat were evaluated based on microbiological content, colour, weight loss, texture and pH. Four of the six films were examined could extend the storability of refrigerated chicken breast fillets for up to seven days. All six treated films improved the pH, colour stability, weight loss, and texture of the chicken fillets. Therefore, these findings suggested that the coatings containing sage extracts having different viscosities (2379L/220 and 2379L/221) were effective as antimicrobial adhesives in food packaging films and can be commercially applied in prolonging the storage of chicken breast meat without affecting their quality.

Effects of Ozone and Ultraviolet on Physical and Oxidative Properties in Edible Coating’s Chicken Breast Meat

The effects of gaseous ozone exposure on the physical and oxidative properties were evaluated in chicken breast fillets, which were pretreatment of gaseous ozone, ultraviolet, edible coatings and stored at 8°C (refrigerator), 27°C (closed pack), and 27°C (opened pack) for 4 d. The physical and oxidative properties of chicken meat are maintained after preozonation treatment is then applied to the edible coating. pH of chicken meat given ozone, UV and edible coating and stored at refrigerator that a pH closest to the normal chicken meat pH of 5.87. Combination of ozone, UV and edible coating has and the highest water holding capacity value and TBA value but the lowest cooking loss value. The brightness level of chicken meat coated in edible coating and stored at various temperatures showed a difference. The ability to store longer or with an increase in storage temperature, besides that, it can add value to the bioactive antioxidant and antimicrobial components.

Physicochemical and Sensory Attributes of Intact and Restructured Chicken Breast Meat Supplemented with Transglutaminase

Transglutaminases (TG) are enzymes that improve the functional properties of proteins in meat products, contribute to the strong cohesion of meat without the further need for the addition of sodium chloride or phosphates, and have a positive effect on the texture of the meat product. This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical and sensory attributes of intact and restructured chicken meat supplemented with different TG proportions. The study was conducted on chicken breast meat samples (n = 40) originating from the line Ross 308. The intact samples were separated from the pectoralis major muscle, whereas the rest of the breast meat was ground, divided into equal parts, and supplemented with TG (0.2%; 0.4%; 0.6%; 0.8%; 1%). The intact meat had the highest cooking loss (19.84) when compared to 0.2% (15.51), 0.4% (15.04), 0.6% (14.95), 0.8% (14.95), and 1% (15.79) TG-supplemented meat. The intact meat had greater shear force (16.90) than 0.2% (5.16), 0.4% (5.39), 0.6% (5.16), 0.8% (5.98), and 1% (6.92) TG supplemented meat. There was no difference between intact meat and TG-supplemented meat in color, taste, odor, texture, and overall acceptability (P > 0.05). Therefore, TG supplementation can be used in improving yield and texture of minced chicken meat.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE ON REHYDRATION KINETICS OF CHICKEN BREAST MEAT CUBES

In the present research, it was aimed to understand the effect of different rehydration temperatures (80, 90 and 100°C) on rehydration kinetics of hot air dried chicken breast meat cubes. The rehydration rate increased with the increasing of temperature of rehydration water. ΔE and chroma values of the rehydrated samples at 90°C and 100°C samples were found statistically similar. To describe the rehydration kinetics, four different models, Peleg’s, Weibull, first order and exponential association, were considered. Between these four models proposed Peleg’s model gave a better fit for all rehydration conditions applied. The effective moisture diffusivity values of chicken meat increased as water rehydration temperature increased.

EZ-DripLoss Assessment in Chicken Breast Meat Using Different Sample Areas, Fiber Orientation, and Measurement Intervals

Although the EZ-DripLoss method has been performed in numerous studies, there is a deficiency in our knowledge of the EZ-DripLoss method’s suitability for poultry meat analysis. This study aimed to research the effect of different sample areas (10, 20, and 30 mm; n = 240), and fiber orientations (vertical vs. horizontal) on the EZ-DripLoss in chicken breast meat measured across a period of five days. The influence of sample area on the EZ-DripLoss of chicken breast meat with respect to the fiber orientation and across the five-day measurement interval was significant between 10 and 30 mm samples, and between 20 and 30 mm samples (p < 0.001). The estimated regression coefficient showed that EZ-DripLoss for the samples with horizontal and vertical fiber direction of 10 and 20 mm, significantly increased by 0.04% per hour, while for the samples with vertical fiber direction whose diameter was 30 mm, it significantly increased by 0.06% per hour, and for the horizontal fiber direction, it significantly increased by 0.07% per hour. The samples with vertical fiber orientation had 0.50% greater EZ-DripLoss compared to the samples with horizontal fiber orientation. EZ-DripLoss evaluation in chicken breast should be performed with a sample core diameter of 20 mm, a vertical fiber orientation, and over the course of longer measurement intervals.
