Using of oil palm (elaeis guineensis jacq.)‎ leaves extract as a supplement in the diet of Boer goats on meat lipid oxidation and color stability

Abstract EN

Twenty-one male Boer goats were individually penned for 100 days.

the oil palm leaves Methanolic extract (OPLE) has extracted from oil palm plantation of university putra malaysia and used as a supplement in treatment groups.

animals have separated into three groups (7 animal / group), control (ctrl = 0 mg OPLE), treatment 1 (T1= 300 mg OPLE) and treatment 2 (T2= 600 mg OPLE) / kg dm of animals’ diet.

in the end of fattening period, the animals have been slaughtered and samples of longissimus Dorsi (ID) muscles taken from slaughtered animals after 1, 3 and 6 days of aging to use for lipid oxidation and color measurements.

lipid oxidation results which are presented by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) showed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in lipid oxidation in T1 and T2 when compared with ctrl group.

OPLE supplement groups (T1 and T2) showed more stability in color measurements across aging time.

the addition of OPLE as a supplement in goats diets induced lipid oxidation in the meat and it could be a beneficial supplement to produce wholesome meat.
