Abstract
ABSTRACTThe effects of various heat treatments on warmed‐over flavor (WOF) in ground chicken breast meat were examined. WOF was measured by thiobarbituric acid test and taste panel. Integral temperature‐time history functions (TTH) were used to quantify constant and variable temperature‐time heat treatments. The effect of processing on WOF was modeled as a modified first‐order kinetic absolute reaction. A reaction threshold temperature of 74°C and an activation energy of 15,000–20,000 Cal/g‐mole were calculated. The accumulated TTH value above 74°C was found to have a major effect on WOF development. WOF in precooked chicken breast meat can be controlled by choice of processing conditions.
