Ciencia, Docencia y Tecnología is a refereed, multidisciplinary open access scientific journal that aims to contribute to the development of scientific knowledge in Argentina and Latin America. Since 1990 it has been edited and funded by the National University of Entre Ríos and publishes original research articles in Spanish and Portuguese by national and international researchers. Until 2020, CDyT was published in May and November. As of Num. 62 may-ago (2021), it adopts the continuous publication mode, publishing three issues in April, August and December.
About the JournalAbstract
The rising importance of poultry production in Entre Ríos (Argentina) makes necessary a deeper knowledge of that industry. In this case, storage is a key factor in maintaining the quality of meat during the distribution chain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different storage conditions on quality parameters of poultry breast fillets, simulating marketing in the national and international market. Marinated and no marinated fillets were stored at refrigeration temperature for 4 days and at freezing temperature during 90 and 180 days; pH, tenderness, cooking loss and color were determined. The results indicate that tenderness and cooking loss are not modified by the storage conditions studied. Only higher pH and a* values were registered in fillets after 180 days at freezing storage.
