Effect of salt, KRP, PRP and PSP on TBARS values during refrigerated storage of goat meat are shown in Fig. 7. During initial days of storage, TBARS was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in MS treatment followed by control. Treatment with fruit by-product powders showed a significantly (P < 0.05) lower TBARS values compared to control and MS samples throughout storage. A significant (P < 0.05) increase in TBARS during storage period was observed in control and MS. But in control, the significant difference was observed only between 6th and day 0 of storage. In contrast treatment with salt (MS) showed a significant (P < 0.05) increase in TBARS between all storage intervals. In KRP, a slight increase in TBARS was observed during the storage period. Treatment with KRP showed lower (P < 0.05) TBARS during any given day of storage
than control and MS samples. The PRP treatment showed lower
TBARS than control, MS and KRP treatments. However, treatment
with PSP showed a significantly (P < 0.05) lower TBARS value during
whole storage period as compared to all other samples. Here
TBARS remained almost constant during entire 6 days of storage.
Analysis of variance (Table 2) indicated a significant (P < 0.05) effect
of storage, treatments and their interactions on TBARS.
