Culture of Pediococcus acidilactici NCDC252 was grown in MRS broth and the crude pediocin NCDC252 in the form of cell free supernatant was prepared. A study on the effect of pediocin alone and with a chelator, disodium EDTA on total viable count and sensory evaluation of chicken carcasses stored at 4 ± 1ËšC was carried out and compared with control without any treatment. The quality parameters like total viable count and sensory evaluation by colour score, appearance score and odour score were analyzed and discussed. Pediocin NCDC252 with disodium EDTA showed lower TVC than other two groups except on 6th day. On 5th day pediocin NCDC252 with disodium EDTA treated group showed significantly higher (P<0.01) colour score. Appearance score showed significantly higher (P<0.01) values for treated group than control on 3rd and 5th day. Odour score showed significantly higher (P<0.01) values for treated groups than control. The findings of this study revealed that
