Inhibition of Protein and Lipid Oxidation in Ready-to-Eat Chicken Patties by a Spondias mombin L. Bagasse Phenolic-Rich Extract.

This study evaluated the impact of yellow mombin (Spondias mombin L.) bagasse extract (YMBE) on the color degradation, protein and lipid oxidation in ready-to-eat chicken patties during 15 days of refrigerated storage. Two formulations of chicken patties were developed: chicken patties control - PCON (without the antioxidant extract) and chicken patties with yellow mombin extract - PYME (with the antioxidant extract). The extract was effective in maintaining red color and inhibiting myoglobin degradation in the evaluated samples. The generation of lipid oxidation compounds during storage of the treated samples was delayed by 92.37% for peroxide index, 89.89% for conjugated dienes, 74.29% for tiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) and 92.55% for ρ-anisidine compared to the control samples. Moreover, the addition of YMBE inhibited the formation of carbonyl compounds during cold storage compared to the control samples. Extracts obtained from the yellow mombin bagasse act as a good natural antioxidant for ready-to-eat chicken patties inhibiting protein and lipid oxidative damage during cold storage, being a potential preservative to replace synthetic antioxidants in meat products.

Effect of storage time on the quality of chicken sausages produced with fat replacement by collagen gel extracted from chicken feet.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of collagen gel extracted from chicken feet on chicken sausages during 42 d of refrigerated storage. Three chicken sausages were processed: standard (SS); replacing 50% fat with commercial collagen powder (SC); replacing 50% fat with chicken foot collagen gel (SG). Sausages were stored at 4°C and analyzed every 14 d, for proximate composition, fatty acid profile, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) number, antioxidant activity, electrophoresis, instrumental color, water holding capacity (WHC), texture profile analysis, and quantitative descriptive analysis. Sausages SC and SG had similar behavior to the standard in the sensorial parameters of appearance and color over 28 d of refrigerated storage. SG had the highest WHC (81.05%), the lowest TBARS value (0.38 mg MDA/kg), and the highest antioxidant activity in addition to having the best atherogenicity and thrombogenicity index compared with SC treatment, making collagen gel viable to replace fat and control the effects of lipid oxidation.

Quality of low-fat chicken sausages with added chicken feet collagen.

The present study aimed to replace the fat in cooked chicken sausages with commercial hydrolyzed collagen powder and chicken feet gelatin and to assess the qualities underlying physicochemical and sensory parameters. Three sausages were prepared: SS (15% fat), SC (7.5% fat and 7.5% hydrolyzed collagen powder), and SG (7.5% fat and 7.5% chicken feet collagen). The reduction of fat increased the values of a*, b*, and Hue. With regard to emulsion stability, SG had the closest value (95.86%) to the standard (SS) value and was more stable than the SC sausage (87.33%). With regard to texture profile, the SC sausage had similar parameters to SS, and the SG sample had lower adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness. With regard to fatty acid profile, SG had the lowest atherogenic and thrombogenic indices. The use of 50% gelatin was viable because it increased emulsion stability and water retention, in addition to using byproduct to prepare healthier sausages, especially regarding fat reduction.
