Abstract
Cooked chicken loaves with or without defatted soy flour could participate in solving lack of meat products that are expensive food items for they provide economy proteinaceous foods prepared from lesser value chicken leg quarters with partial replacement of meat with vegetables, tightly packaged in aluminum foil, oven cooked in presence of water vapor and cool preserved up to 6 weeks — as confirmed by the results of this investigation -which might be considered more than enough to be safely marketed and consumed. In this research, formulas were adjusted to produce Egyptian style taste, proteinaceous and low fat meat product where 18% of the animal protein was substituted with plant protein. This also favored the carbohydrate, ash, fiber, moisture, iron and 13 carotene contents of the final product and lessened much of its cooking loss. Addition of soy also Improved tenderness and, in cooperation with the special properties of ovine meat contents, reduced spoiling indices (T.V.N. and TBA). Cooldng with moist heat resulted in no colony forming units, which is reflected in full 6 weeks of preservation under cooling condition. Biological value of cool stored loaves after 6 weeks was far beyond threshold. Results of sensory evaluation Indicated similarities among control and soy samples of chicken loaves that also proved economy when compared with other meat products available to consumers in the Egyptian market This product is applicable at home, factories. of chicken products and chicken slaughter-houses provided with few and inexpensive equipment. Conveniency will be achieved for Egyptians of all ages when it is saved hot or cold and when it is produced in small size packages.
