Abstract
This study was aimed at comparing the pH, color, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), textural properties, and sensory evaluations of chicken meat patties containing lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) leaf powder, and assessing their shelf-life at refrigeration temperature (<TEX>$4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$</TEX>). In the refrigerated storage, the pH, lightness, yellowness, springiness values, and sensory properties scores of the control as well as all the treated samples decreased as the storage increased. The hardness, gumminess, chewiness, TBA, and VBN-values of control and all the samples treated with lotus leaf increased during refrigerated storage. At the end of the storage period (day 28), chicken patties containing lotus leaf powder had lower pH, redness, yellowness, TBA, VBN, hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values than those of control. The results of this study showed that a lotus leaf powder can increase storage stability in chicken meat products.
