Abstract
Three different levels, viz. T1 (0.03%), T2 (0.06%) and T3 (0.09%) (w/w) of α-chymotrypsin hydrolysed camel milk casein was incorporated into goat meat emulsion, and compared with control (C: 0% hydrolysate) and positive control (PC: 0.02% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), w/w) for changes in quality at 4±1°C. During storage, the water activity, extract release volume and emulsion stability decreased significantly, while pH increased. Except in T3, improvement in antioxidant potential of treated emulsions was recorded. Lower fatty acid oxidation was recorded in treated emulsions during storage. The treated emulsions had better instrumental colour profile, however, lightness (L*), redness (a* value) and yellowness (b*) values decreased with the advancement of storage period. The microbiological counts in treated emulsions were initially reduced, and at the end of storage, significantly lower counts were recorded. In microbial challenging test (MCT), the colony forming units in treated emulsions decreased upto 4th day for all the tested pathogens, thereafter increased significantly on 6th day except in T3, whereas, in C and PC groups, the counts increased significantly throughout the storage period. The findings suggested that camel milk casein hydrolysate with α-chymotrypsin could be used as a potential food ingredient to improve its quality.
