Abstract:In order to evaluate the effect of pulsed high pressure treatment on preservative properties of vacuum-packed roast chicken, the amount of microorganism, the amount of lactic bacteria, pH value, TBARS value, sensory evaluate were studied. Results showed that pulsed high pressure treatments were effective in reducing microbial populations of roast chicken, and the microbial populations were lower over the storage period; the pH value and the TBARS value increased by pulsed number increasing, and they increased first and then decreased over the storage period; the effect of pulsed high pressure treatment on the sensory quality of roast chicken was negligible. There was not linear relationship between the effect of pulsed high pressure treatment and pulsed time, the results of two and three times pulsed high pressure were better than one time, and they were equivalent between the two treatments.
