Abstract: | This study investigated the potential of peanut skin extract (PSE) as inhibitor of lipid oxidation in cooked and raw ground beef (GB) and as antimicrobial agent in raw GB. Results show that addition of PSE to raw GB before cooking significantly inhibited the formation of peroxides and TBARS in cooked GB during the refrigerated storage. PSE at concentration ≥0.06% was as effective as BHA/BHT at 0.02% in inhibiting lipid oxidation. PSE also inhibited the oxidation of meat pigments thereby preserving the fresh redness of treated meat when used at 0.02–0.10%. Microplate assay showed complete inhibition of test bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli) in the presence of PSE at 0.4% or higher. However, the antimicrobial effect of PSE in GB was less potent. Hence, PSE can primarily serve the dual purposes of preserving the colour of raw GB and preventing lipid oxidation in cooked products. |
