Evaluation of two cooking methods and precooking treatments on characteristics of chicken breast and leg
Breast and leg of chicken were soaked in NaCl (4%) or STPP (3%) solutions before cooking in convention or microwave ovens. More protein, lower fat and lipid oxidation (TBA) were found in breast than in leg. Moisture percent and total lipids decreased due to cooking process. Chicken parts cooked in m...

| Summary: | Breast and leg of chicken were soaked in NaCl (4%) or STPP (3%) solutions before cooking in convention or microwave ovens. More protein, lower fat and lipid oxidation (TBA) were found in breast than in leg. Moisture percent and total lipids decreased due to cooking process. Chicken parts cooked in microwave had less moisture and TBA values, while protein, total lipids, shear force and cooking loss were more than that cooked conventionally. Microwave cooked roasts were less tender and lighter in colour, but aroma and flavour liked better by cooking in convention oven. Soaking in STPP before cooking retained more moisture protein and fat in chicken parts as compared with NaCl or untreated samples. Moreover, it decreased cooking loss, lipid oxidation, shear value and improved tenderness and flavour. |
