Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory properties of non-descriptive deshi and naked neck chicken meat. A total of 40 male and female mature Naked neck chicken (NNC) and non-descriptive deshi chicken (NDDC) were purchased and the chickens were randomly allocated to a 2 (Sex) × 2 (Breed) factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design. The carcass properties of the NNC and NDDC thigh, drumstick were alike (P>0.05) except for breast muscle. Sex affected on all physicochemical properties of carcass. Breed, sex and post slaughter time interactions effects on color attributes of drumstick and thigh meat except for breast meat CIE redness (a*) and CIE yellowness (b*) values. The pH value differed significantly (P<0.05) among the breeds, sex and post slaughter time. The sensory traits evaluations of the chicken breeds were alike (P>0.05). Fatty acid profiles of the chickens were not affected (P>0.05) by sex or breed. The ratios of omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids were significantly lower in both breeds which are anticipated in reducing the risk of many heart-related illness. Therefore, the results obtained from this study could be contribute to stimulate the production of naked neck and non-descriptive deshi chickens as well as increases the consumer’s consciousness for healthier meat choices.
