ORGANOLEPTIC INDICATORS AND TASTE EVALUATION OF BROILER CHICKEN MEAT USING COMPLEXLY ZEOLITE AND MICROWAVE TREATED- FEED, INFECTED WITH MICROTOXINS

Abstract


 Poultry farming is one of the most profitable branches of animal husbandry, taking a leading role in providing the population with full-fledged dietary food products. The poultry industry faces the challenge of meeting the growing demands of the population for poultry products and increasing production to a level comparable to developed European countries.
 The research purpose is to determine the effect of the complex use of zeolite and microwave-treated feeds, infected with mycotoxins, on the organoleptic indicators of broiler chicken meat and to conduct a taste evaluation of the quality of meat and broth.
 The basis for the realization of livestock production, including poultry production, from the consumer's point of view, depends on the taste qualities of the products, which are determined by tasting. Therefore, we conducted a taste evaluation of the broth and boiled meat prepared from the experimental group of broiler chicken meat.
 When determining the organoleptic indicators of the experimental birds, the transparency and aroma of the meat during cooking were noted. We also observed that fat on the surface of the broth collected in large droplets, and the taste of the broth in all the examined groups corresponded to the characteristics of a high-quality product, without foreign odors.
 The taste and aroma of meat determine the consumer value of the product. Extractive substances extracted from meat by water, which pass into the broth during cooking, play an important role in the evaluation of taste and aromatic properties of meat. They provide specific features of the taste and aroma of meat.
 Based on the data getting from the taste evaluation of broiler chicken meat and broth, it can be concluded that the complex use of zeolite and microwave-treated feed infected with mycotoxins does not have a negative impact on the organoleptic properties of broiler chicken meat.
