Sensory attributes of chicken meat in relation to microbial and physicochemical characteristics

My research focused on the sensory, microbial and physicochemical characteristics of chicken meat during storage and how these are linked to consumers’ handling practices and perceptions of its quality and safety. Chicken meat is the most consumed source of animal protein in South Africa but is frequently contaminated with Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp., which are pathogenic bacteria. The study revealed that there is a need for consumer educational interventions in South Africa focused on microbial risks in chicken meat and the consequences of mishandling on its safety and quality.
