Effect of storage conditions on physico-chemical parameters of aerobically packed paneer nuggets: A ready to eat snack food
Author(s): Rajender Kumar, Sivakumar S and Rekha Chawla
Abstract: Paneer nugget is a ready-to-eat and steam cooked dairy based snack food. During the storage period, physico-chemical parameters play an important role to know the stability of the food product and to have an idea about the shelf life of the product. To evaluate the shelf life of paneer nuggets product was packed in LDPE and stored at two controlled temperatures ambient (25  1oC) and refrigeration (41oC) temperature under aerobic conditions till spoilage. To have an idea about the physico-chemical parameters, samples were tested for changes in pH, acidity, water activity, free fatty acids, HMF value, tyrosine value and at the regular interval of 1 day at controlled ambient (25oC) temperature and after 3 days for refrigeration (4oC) temperature under aerobic packaging. The effect of storage period was significant on physico-chemical parameters and multiple comparison tests indicated the mean values for different storage parameters differ significantly (p<0.05) on different days of storage.
