Abstract
The use of chestnuts in the finishing diet significantly increased the counts of the different microbial groups (total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae) during refrigerated storage of meat. However the use of chestnuts did not affect significantly the values of pH, color parameters, percentages of the myoglobin forms, lipid and protein oxidation or sensory attributes of the meat during the refrigerated or frozen storage. The microbiological and oxidative parameters indicated an acceptable quality of meat after 28â¯days of refrigerated storage; however, judges found the sensory attributes modified after 12 or 20â¯days of storage.
