The present study was envisaged to study the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of oregano essential oil (OEO) in processed meat model (chicken patties, CP). Three treatments were prepared as control (CP without CEO), T-1, T-2 and T-3 containing 0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5% OEO, respectively and aerobically packaged. The samples were evaluated for different quality attributes. Results pointed out that the T-3 product had the highest oxidative and antimicrobial potential out of all products as predicted by lowest thiobarbituric acid reacting substances and highest 1, 1 diphenyl-2 picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity with lowest microbial load followed by T-2, T-1 and control. on the other hand, sensory scores of T-3 were lesser than that of others, showing some pungency. The control product got spoiled on 21st, T-1 and T-2 on 25th and T-3 on 30th day of storage. In conclusion, 0.125% OEO can be efficiently incorporated in products without affecting sensory attributes.
