Impact of gamma irradiation and poppy seed extract on quality and storage stability of beef patties

Abstract

ABSTRACT The present research was conducted to measure the impact of poppy seed extract (PSE) and gamma irradiation on the storage stability and antioxidant profile of beef patties during storage at different packaging. Different doses of gamma irradiation (2.5 kGy and 5 kGy) were applied alone and with combination of 2% PSE. The PSE enriched beef patties were packed (aerobically and vacuum) and kept at refrigeration temperature. The results show that higher value of TBARS and POV was found in 5 kGy aerobically packed samples at 14 day, while the lower value of TVBN was observed in 0 kGy+PSE2% at 0 day. However, the lower value of TBARS, POV and TBVN was found in vacuum packed samples (0kGy +2%PSE) at 0 day. The higher total phenolic contents, ferric reducing antioxidant power and DPPH value were found in 0kGy +2%PSE and lower value was found in samples (5 kGy). The microbial results were observed to decrease with the increase in dose of gamma radiation. The significant changes were observed in the hunter color and sensory attributes of beef patties on different treatment at storage intervals under vacuum and aerobic packaging. Conclusively, PSE, gamma irradiation and both packaging is improved the quality, stability and antioxidants profile of enriched patties.
