Abstract

The aims of this study were to determine the effect of immersing culled layer chicken meat into the pineapple skin
extract with different concentrations on the water holding capacity (WHC), water content (WC), pH, tenderness, odor and
color. The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. Treatments were
concentrations of pineapple skin extract which consisted of four levels that is 0%, 15%, 27,5% and 40%, respectively.
Results showed that immersion of culled layer chicken meat into the pineapple skin extract had significant effect (P<0,01) on
WHC, pH, tenderness. The concentration of 27,5% of pineapple skin extract could increase tenderness, decreased WHC and
pH.
