Bou et al. (2001) observed a clear positive influence of vitamin E
on sensory quality of dark chicken meat, regardless of the fat
source used. Vitamin C, at 110 mg/kg diet, however, had no influence
on sensory traits (flavour, aroma and acceptability). Similarly,
vitamin C supplementation, at 500 and 1000 mg/kg of diet, did not
influence sensory properties of eggs although some functional
properties of eggs (Haugh units and elasticity of albumen gels)
were improved (Franchini et al., 2002). Our results, i.e. no effect
of vitamin C on sensory traits of chicken meat are in accordance
with these findings
