Abstract

The purpose of the experiment is to evaluate the effect of sex and slaughter ages on the chemical composition, physical, and sensory qualities of Merawang chicken meat. The materials used in this research were 20 Merawang chickens aged 10 and 20 weeks, consisting of 10 male and 10 female chickens. The variables observed on the chemical compositions included moisture, protein, fat, ash, and carbohydrate contents, while physical quality observation included pH value, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, tenderness, and meat color. The sensory quality included color, odor, texture, tenderness, and acceptability. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using the Nested test. The results of the experiment showed that sex and slaughter ages had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the chemical compositions (moisture, fat, carbohydrate, and ash contents), physical quality (pH, tenderness, color L* and color b*) and sensory quality (odor and tenderness) of Merawang chicken meat. The result showed that sex and slaughter ages had no significant effect (P>0.05) on protein content, WHC, cooking loss, color a*, texture, and acceptability of Merawang chicken meat. This experiment concluded that sex and slaughter ages affected the chemical compositions, especially moisture, fat, carbohydrate, and ash content. Female Merawang chicken meat has higher fat content than male ones but has better tenderness than male Merawang chicken.
