- Marinating time affected spoilage microorganisms and sensory attributes of chicken fillets.
- Pomegranate juice with lemon and vinegar led to microbial reductions and satisfactory sensory profile.
- Organic acids profile provided information on the quality of marinated chicken fillets.
Five different marinades were prepared containing lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, pomegranate juice and combinations of them. Three different temperatures (4, 10, and 20 °C) and five marinating time intervals (1, 3, 6, and 9 h) were tested. Microbial, physicochemical as well as sensory analyses were performed to assess marination. Noticeable microbial reductions and satisfactory sensory results were observed only in samples treated for short time (1 and 3 h). The marinade in which pomegranate and lemon juices were combined caused a decrease in microbial counts and led to desirable sensory attributes. Each of the marinades was characterized by a distinguishable organic acid profile, while the discrimination of the samples, based on organic acid concentration, between low (1 and 3) and high (6 and 9) marinating time was feasible. It can be concluded that marinating time affected the indigenous microbiota and the sensory characteristics of chicken meat while pomegranate could be a promising marinating ingredient from a microbiological and physicochemical perspective.
