Assessment of Meat Quality and Shelf Life from Broilers Fed with Different Sources and Concentrations of Methionine

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
A trial with different concentrations of DL‐methionine (DLM) and DL‐2‐hydroxy‐4‐methylthiobutanoic acid (DL‐HMTBA) in broiler feed was performed to investigate their effect on the meat quality parameters and the shelf life of breast fillet. In total, fillets from 210 male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were tested in seven groups with 30 animals each ...

Impact of Wooden Breast myopathy on in vitro protein digestibility, metabolomic profile, and cell cytotoxicity of cooked chicken breast meat. [PDF]

Poult Sci
This study investigated the impacts of Wooden Breast (WB) abnormality on in vitro protein digestibility and cytotoxicity of cooked chicken breast meat. Chicken breasts without (non-WB, n = 6) or with severe WB condition (WB, n = 6) were cooked and subjected to static in vitro protein digestion. The results showed no significant differences in free-NH2,
