Abstract:
Consumer awareness about the quality and safety of the food products has been increased in this century and consumer demands the use of natural ingredients to preserve the food for long duration. Citrus fruits are used to manufacture the citrus juice and other related beverages. A significant amount of peel wasted in the citrus processing industry that can be used for many other purposes due to high polyphenol contents in the citrus peel. Food processors are also investing the money in the research areas to find the possible ways to improve the quality, and safety of the chicken during storage. Therefore, the present research was conducted to understand the impact of different percentages of citrus peel extract in marinade of chicken on quality, safety and shelf life of chicken. Chicken was stored at refrigeration storage after treatment of citrus extract and storage study of 30 days was done to understand the impact on shelf life and quality. Physicochemical analysis, microbial analysis, cooking yield, lipid oxidation and sensory evaluation was done. The results of study revealed that among all treatments and storage days, lowest pH was recorded at T0 at 30th storage day with value share of 5.78±0.10. Means showed the highest moisture (%) value of 76.27±0.05 at T0 at zero day’s storage. T0 showed the lowest protein (%) value of 20.33±0.31, at zero’s day’s storage. Means showed the lowest TPC (mg GAE/g) value of 1.21±0.02 at T0 at zero day’s storage. In contrast, T3 showed the highest TPC (mg GAE/g) value of 4.32±0.23, at zero’s day’s storage. Means showed the lowest TFC (mg QE/g) value of 1.69±0.01 at T0 at zero day’s storage. In contrast, T3 showed the highest TFC (mg QE/g) value of 8.16±0.05, at zero’s day’s storage. Means showed the highest TBARS (mg-MA/kg) value of 0.51±0.01 at T0 compared to other treatments at zero day’s storage. Means showed the lowest TVC (log CFU/g) value of 4.37±0.01 at T3 at zero day’s storage. In contrast, T0 showed the highest TVC (log CFU/g) value of 4.62±0.02, at zero’s day’s storage. After 30 storage days, lowest cooking loss (%) was recorded at T3 with value share of 24.6±0.42. Means showed the lowest hedonic scale score of overall acceptability 7.33±0.577 at T1 at zero day’s storage. After 30 storage days, highest hedonic scale score of overall acceptability was recorded at T3 with value share of 7.33±0.577. It can be concluded that, with the addition of citrus peel extract microbial load decreased, total phenolic contents increased and overall acceptability of the product also improved.
