Abstract: Chicken breast muscle was treated with rosemary extract combined with -polylysine, and its quality was assessed throughout 10 days during refrigerated storage. Characteristics of peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid, total volatile basic nitrogen, K value, pH, color, sensory, and bacteriological were all periodically analyzed. Rosemary extract plus -polylysine treatment effectively improved physicochemical and sensory quality parameters, and reduced microbial growth as compared with rosemary extract or -polylysine alone or the control. Therefore, the treatment of rosemary extract combined with -polylysine could be a promising method of extending shelf life and maintaining storage quality of chicken breast muscle during refrigerated storage.
