The present study was conducted to evaluate the shelf life of chicken samosa prepared using broiler chicken (aged 8 weeks). The recipe for chicken samosa was standardized and the product was packed in LDPE under vacuum (VP) and aerobic (AP) packaging conditions and stored at 4±1°C.Physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory evaluation was studied on 1, 3 and 6 days of storage. The storage period brought about significant changes in pH, TBA value, total plate count (TPC) in chicken samosa packed under different packaging systems. The pH was found higher in vacuum packed chicken samosa compared to aerobic package. Total plate count values were significantly (P< 0.05) lower in vacuum packed chicken samosas. TBA values were found higher in aerobically packaged samosa. The sensory scores of vacuum packed samosa had higher scores for appearance, flavor and overall acceptability when compared with aerobically packed samosa. In conclusion, both AP and VP packed chicken samosa can be stored for about 6 days at refrigerated storage without much noticeable changes." />
