Abstract

Chicken meat jerky with high sugar content is popular intermediate-moisture meat product in Asia. Different types of sugar, sucrose and mixed sugar (sucrose: fructose: sorbitol 70: 15: 15), were evaluated to improve the quality of product. Quality changes of chicken meat jerky stored in vacuum and aerobic (33 and 75 %relative humidity, %RH) conditions were studied for suitable condition to extend shelf-life of product. The samples were determined the physical and chemical characteristics, as well as sensory evaluation during storage at room temperature. The moisture content and water activity (aw) of samples stored in 33 %RH conditions was continuously diminished during storage that related to harder texture and unacceptable quality in sensory evaluation. All samples stored in vacuum and 75 %RH condition demonstrated the lower shear force value than that stored in 33%RH condition (p < 0.05). Samples stored in vacuum condition had the lowest lipid oxidation (p < 0.05.) which corresponding to the highest scores in less rancidity and overall acceptance attributes. All samples stored in vacuum condition also had the highest acceptability in all sensory attributes (taste, rancidity, color and overall acceptance) followed by 75 %RH storage condition (p < 0.05). Samples prepared with mixed sugar could improve color and retard rancidity in chicken jerky meat product. Sample prepared with mixed sugar kept in vacuum condition had the lowest lipid oxidation and highest sensory score in overall acceptance attributes along the extended storage.
