Abstract


Spent hens are by-products of the egg industry and it has poor tenderness and less juiciness due to high cross-linking collagen content. Chips are popular snacks throughout the world due to their easy preparation and savoury flavour. Incorporation of spent hen meat in chips can provide a complete nutritious snack. The addition of toppings in spent hen meat snacks would give a unique taste and enhance the acceptance of consumers. The study was undertaken in the Department of Livestock Products Technology to analyse the effect of two different toppings namely, tandoori (T1) and chicken chip topping (T2) in spent hen chips for their physico-chemical, proximate, colour and sensory attributes. A higher pH value was found for control without toppings while water activity value was found significantly (p<0.001) higher for T1. Significant (p<0.001) difference was found for lightness (L*) between control and treatments. Redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) were found highest for T1. The highest sensory score for all sensory parameters was found for T2. Thus, chicken chips with 50 per cent spent hen meat dusted with five per cent chicken chip topping was highly accepted by the consumers due to its uniqueness in taste.
