| Summary: | The present study included the addition of clove oil to boneless chicken breast pieces at different concentrations. Clove oil was added to the samples (12 pieces, weighted 300 gm each) at different proportions and then packed in vacuum polyethylene bags. Control treatment packed in polyethylene bags without cove oil. Treatment 1 kept with polyethylene bags with the addition of 0.5% clove oil. Treatment 2 kept with polyethylene bags with the addition of 0.75% clove oil. Treatment 3 kept with polyethylene bags with the addition of 1% clove oil. The meat was stored at a temperature of 4 ° C for 9 days with storage periods of (0, 3, 6, 9) days. The results of the study showed that total bacteria and coliform bacteria counts decreased with the advancement of storage periods in the third treatment at a concentration of 1%. The results show improvement in chemical and physical of breast pieces treated with 1% of clove oil throughout the storage period. We conclude that clove oil-treated meat improves water retention capacity and reduces liquid loss during cooking. Reduces oxidation indicators by decreasing TBA value.
