Combination of sensory evaluation with conventional physiochemical analyses to evaluate quality changes during long-term storage and estimate the shelf life of chicken eggs.

1. This study developed a comprehensive sensory evaluation system that consisted of descriptions corresponding to United States Department of Agriculture photos to evaluate overall acceptability, albumen and yolk appearances and odours. It determined physiochemical parameters of eggs stored at 7°C (7W12 and 7U12 for washed and unwashed, respectively) for 12 weeks and stored at 25°C (25W4 and 25U4 for washed and unwashed, respectively) for four weeks.

Application of principal component analysis with instrumental analysis and sensory evaluation for assessment of chicken breast meat juiciness.

1. The objectives of this study were to use principal component analysis (PCA) to analyse the variability of the three instrumental and 14 descriptive sensory properties of chicken breast meat. The meat was cooked until the internal temperature reached 85°C and further cooked for 0, 20, and 40 min.

Influence of sucrose level and inoculation of Lactobacillus plantarum on the physicochemical, textural, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of Isan sausage (Thai fermented pork sausage).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sucrose levels (0.3% and 1.2%) and inoculation of Lactobacillus plantarum on the quality of Isan sausage.

Effects of moist- and dry-heat cooking on the meat quality, microstructure and sensory characteristics of native chicken meat.

This study investigates the effects of moist- (water-cooking; WC) and dry-heat (oven-cooking; OC) on the quality, microstructure and sensory characteristics of native chicken breast meat. The results revealed that OC meat had a significantly higher cooking time, cooking loss, and shear force values and lower L* values. Protein solubility decreased after cooking in both cooking methods; however, no statistical difference was observed between WC and OC meats, whereas collagen solubility and myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI) increased after cooking and WC meat exhibited higher collagen solubility and MFI (P < 0.

Influences of end-point heating temperature on the quality attributes of chicken meat.

This study aimed to evaluate the changes in physicochemical, textural and sensory characteristics of broiler (BR) and Taiwan native chicken (TNC) pectoralis muscle heated at temperatures of 50-95°C. With increasing temperature, cooking loss, collagen solubility, shear force value and hardness, of samples increased in both chicken breeds. Rapid decreases in protein solubility were observed when the meat was heated to 50°C and gradually decreased thereafter.

Validation of feasibility and quality of chicken breast meat cooked under various water-cooking conditions.

Under laboratory conditions, the qualities of boneless chicken breasts are commonly determined by placing them in a bag and cooking them in a water bath. The results are often applied as references for comparing the influences of cooking techniques. However, whether a sample cooked under this "laboratory" condition actually represents the meat cooked under the "real-life" condition in which meat is frequently cooked directly in water without packaging remains unclear.

Relationships between Descriptive Sensory Attributes and Physicochemical Analysis of Broiler and Taiwan Native Chicken Breast Meat.

Unique organoleptic characteristics such as rich flavors and chewy texture contribute to the higher popularity of native chicken in many Asian areas, while the commercial broilers are well-accepted due to their fast-growing and higher yields of meat. Sensory attributes of foods are often used to evaluate food eating quality and serve as references during the selection of foods. In this study, a three-phase descriptive sensory study was conducted to evaluate the sensory attributes of commercial broiler (BR) and Taiwan native chicken (TNC) breast meat, and investigate correlations between these sensory attributes and instrumental measurements.
