Abstract
Effects of vacuum packaging on the microbiological quality of tandoori chicken stored at 4 1C or -18C were investigated. Chicken stored without vacuum packaging served as a control. Microbiological quality of tandoori chicken under vacuum was unacceptable after 15 days storage at 4 1C, compared to 6 days storage without vacuum packaging. Aerobic plate counts (APC) increased from an initial level (log cfu/g) of 3.67 to 6.75 by the 15th day in vacuum packaging and to 6.18 in control packs by the 6th day of storage at 4 1C. Sensory quality of tandoori chicken deteriorated significantly (P <less than or equal to> 0.05) during storage at 4 1C; however, it was still acceptable on the 15th day of storage. Psychrotroph counts (log cfu) also increased markedly from an initial level of 0.05 to 6.18 in control packs by the 6th day and 5.69 in vacuum packaging by the 15th day. APC (log cfu/g) of the tandoori chicken increased marginally in vacuum packs during the storage period of 40 days at -18C to reach a level of 4.75 from an initial count of 4.44. Sensory properties deteriorated significantly (P <less than or equal to> 0.05) during storage at -18C; however, they were still acceptable on the 40th day of storage. pH, moisture and water holding capacity did not show any specific changes during storage. Results indicated that the shelf-life of tandoori chicken was extended considerably at lower temp. under vacuum.
