Abstract
ABSTRACT Smoked-chicken Samples (36) were collected from 3 sites of smoking processes in Lomé and analyzed by conventional methods. Changes in the proximal composition and microbial germs load of chicken meat after smoking were significant (p < .05). Smoked chicken had good hygienic quality in compliance with regulations and variable water, protein, fat, and mineral contents. Their water activity (0.967 ± 0.011) indicated a highly perishable product with low storability. Low levels of total phenols suggested a light smoking product while Polycyclic Aromatics Hydrocarbons content (> maximum level allowed) pose a health risk. Smoked chickens overall acceptability was over 6 on a 9-point scale, but the seasoned and pre-cooked ones had the highest water loss rates and obtained the highest preference scores. Attributes “not tender enough,” “not spicy enough,” and “not salty enough” reduced the preference score by 1 to 2 points and should be considered in an improvement step.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Culinary Science & Technology aims to communicate the vital issues, latest developments, and thinking on the science and technology behind meal planning, preparation, processing, and service for a global consuming public. These issues relate to food management in a variety of settings that include culinary-related operations, food production, food product development, restaurant management and other foodservice ventures. It is the Journal''s intention to encourage an interchange among culinary professionals, food scientists and technologists, research chefs, foodservice managers, educators and researchers. Contributors are encouraged to identify the practical implications of their work for food operations, promoting and evaluating food knowledge, the science of alcohol, examining changing trends and attitudes, healthy eating lifestyles, innovation management, and enhancing and developing practical culinary skills. It is the Journal of Culinary Science & Technology''s policy to use a ''double-blind review'' procedure for the evaluation of all articles. Therefore, the reviewers and the author(s) are not identified to each other. Scope/Coverage: -Culinary innovation -Blurring lines between food technology and culinary arts -Issues and trends related to human nutrition -The collaboration between food science and culinary innovation -Techniques and technology and their role in quality of life/guest satisfaction associated with culinary, wine and food experiences -Trends in molecular gastronomy and its derivates -Annual review of trends in culinary science and technology -Applied research -Relevant research notes -Management styles, methods and principles -Techniques and innovations
