Quality and stability evaluation of chicken meat treated with gamma irradiation and turmeric powder
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of gamma irradiation and turmeric powder (TP) on microbial quality (total aerobic bacteria and coliforms), physicochemical quality (pH, Hunter’s parameter, oxidative and microbial stabilities, haem pigment), stability, and antioxidant status of chicken meat. Accordingly, two doses (1 kGy and 2 kGy) of gamma irradiation alone and in combination with 3% TP along with the control (0 kGy) were applied. Aerobic and vacuum packaging were used for storage of chicken meat on the 0, 7th, and 14th days of storage at refrigeration temperature (4°C). The microbiological results showed that the contamination level decreased as the dose of gamma irradiation was increased for both total bacteria and coliforms, whereas no contamination was documented in the group treated with 2 kGy+TP for both aerobic and vacuum packaging. The results further showed that pH, haem pigment, and Hunter’s colour were also significantly influenced with respect to different groups. The peroxide value (POV), thio-barbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) differed significantly in chicken meat with different treatments and storage intervals. Higher POV and TBARS were noticed in chicken meat treated with 2 kGy under aerobic packaging after 14 days of storage, and TVBN was higher in the control on the 14th day under aerobic packaging. Total phenolics and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity were also higher in chicken meat treated with 2 kGy + TP on 0 day of storage. Furthermore, higher sensory attribute scores for attributes like appearance, taste, texture, flavour, and overall acceptability were found in the 2 kGy-treated group. It is concluded that chicken meat treated with 2 kGy+TP was considered better for microbial and physicochemical quality, antioxidant activity as well as sensorial properties of chicken meat.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
