2.1. Chicken samples
Skinless and boneless fresh chicken breast meat (ca. 400 g) was

and immediately transferred to the laboratory of Department of Food
Hygiene and Quality Control, Urmia University, in insulated polystyrene
boxes on ice flakes. The chicken meat samples were subsequently stored
at 4 °C until use.
