Table 5. Effect of supplemental exogenous emulsifier on storage characteristics of chicken breast from broilers
Item | CON | T1 | T2 | SE | p-value |
pH | 5.83 | 5.96 | 5.90 | 0.02 | 0.136 |
TBARS (mg MA/kg) | 0.20a | 0.19a | 0.17b | 0.01 | <.0001 |
Each value is the mean value of 10 replicates (2 broilers/cage).
Means in the same row with different superscripts differ (p < 0.05).
CON, basal diet; T1, basal diet + 0.1% exogenous emulsifier; T2, basal diet + 0.2% exogenous emulsifier; SE, standard error.
