Fig. 1.

pH of Cobb broiler meat obtained from chickens reared on Zn supplemented feed. Zinc treatments namely T0, T1, T2 and T3 depict Cobb broilers fed 0, 10, 20 and 40 ppm zinc supplemented feed. The presence of the same English letters above error bars indicates significant results (p>0.05, n=3).

Fig. 2.

(A) Expressible moisture and (B) Water-holding capacity of Cobb breast meat obtained from chickens reared on Zn supplemented feed. Zinc treatments namely T0, T1, T2 and T3 depict Cobb broilers fed 0, 10, 20 and 40 ppm zinc supplemented feed. The presence of English letters above error bars indicates significant results (p<0.05, n=3).

Fig. 3.

(A) Drip loss and (B) cook loss of Cobb breast meat obtained from chickens reared on Zn supplemented feed. Zinc treatments namely T0, T1, T2 and T3 depict Cobb broilers fed 0, 10, 20 and 40 ppm zinc supplemented feed. The presence of English letters above error bars indicates significant results (p<0.05, n=3).

Processing*Zinc interaction on instrumental color attributes of broiler meat.
Zinc treatments namely T0, T1, T2 and T3 depict Cobb broilers fed 0, 10, 20 and 40 ppm zinc supplemented feed. The presence of English letters above error bars indicates significant results (p<0.05, n=3). F, R, C and T refer to the processing treatments; Fresh (unprocessed), Refrigeration, Compression and Thermal processing, respectively. L*, a*, b*, h°, C*, W* represent the lightness, redness, yellowness, hue angle, chroma and whiteness of chicken meat.
Fig. 5.

The effect of processing treatments and zinc doses on the sensory attributes of meat obtained from Cobb chickens reared on Zn supplemented feed. Zinc treatments namely T0, T1, T2 and T3 depict Cobb broilers fed 0, 10, 20 and 40 ppm zinc supplemented feed. The presence of English letters above error bars indicates significant results (p<0.05, n=3).
