Abstract:

The study was undertaken to standardize a shelf-stable ready-to-eat pepper chicken using broiler meat by retort pouch processing. Three experiments were conducted, in the first experiment the recipe was standardized (pilot scale study) on the basis of sensory evaluation and in second experiment retort pouch processing temperature (F0 value) was determined based on references, commercial sterility test, visual observation, sensory evaluation and preliminary trials. The come up percentage was 27.27 and the F0 value was 7.2 minutes. In third experiment, shelf stability was assessed for a period of 90 days by microbiological, physico-chemical and sensory qualities by repeating the trials for six times. Results of the present study revealed that the pepper chicken from broiler meat was biochemically and microbially safe for the entire storage period.
