Ks. Ziauddin et al., EFFECT OF ORGANIC-ACIDS AND SPICES ON QUALITY AND SHELF-LIFE OF MEATSAT AMBIENT-TEMPERATURE, Journal of Food Science and Technology, 33(3), 1996, pp. 255-258
Meat cuts (beef, mutton) and chicken carcasses. when sprayed with acet
ic and lactic acids and the extracts of ginger, garlic and onion, sing
ly or in combination with sodium chloride, extended the shelf-life of
meats at ambient temperature (28+/-2 degrees C). The shelf-life of bee
f cuts was higher than that of mutton cuts and chicken carcasses. Colo
ur. odour and other sensory parameters of treated meats were acceptabl
e to taste panelists. Beef-masala, mutton-masala and chicken-masala pr
epared from the meats, treated with lactic acid and ginger extract, we
re superior with regard to sensory qualities.
