The meat samples were homogenized through 6-mm plates and chicken breast and thigh meat patties (5 cm diameter, 2 cm thickness and 30 g weight) were prepared.Half of each breast and thigh patty was cooked to an internal temperature of 75oC to prepare the cooked meat samples. The centers of the raw and cooked meat samples were compressed twice to 75% of their original height using a texture analyzer (Model A-XT2, Stable micro systems, Surrey, UK) attached with a needle (15 mm diameter) at a test speed of 5.00 mm/sec and a trigger force of 0.005 kg.
