Abstract EN
Production-specific factors, such as breeding, diet, and stress, are known to influence meat quality, but the effect of different husbandry systems on the development of quality parameters and shelf life has hardly been investigated.
Thus, the aim of the study was the investigation of an alternative production system based on a slow-growing, corn-fed, and antibiotics-free chicken line compared with conventional poultry production.
Additionally, the effect on meat quality, microbiology, and spoilage was analyzed.
In total, 221 breast filets from a German poultry meat producer were investigated.
Nutritional, biochemical, and cooking loss analyses were conducted on a subset of samples 24 h after storage.
The rest of the samples were stored aerobically at 4°C, and the spoilage process was characterized by investigating pH, color, lipid oxidation, microbiology, and sensory attributes subsequently every two days during storage.
The alternative production line showed a significantly healthier nutritional profile with a higher protein and lower fat content.
Additionally, the amount of L-lactic acid and D-glucose was significantly higher than in the conventional production line.
The color values differed between both production lines, with the corn-fed line displaying more yellowish filets.
The lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage were not affected by the production line.
The shelf life did not differ between the investigation groups and was deemed 7 days in both cases.
Despite the highest severity of white striping being observed most in the conventional production line, there was no overall difference in the incidence among groups.
The purchase decision was affected by the occurrence of white striping and showed a tendency for a higher acceptance for the alternative production line.
