Abstract

Juiciness and tenderness are two of the characteristics which define meat quality and acceptability for a consumer. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effect on moisture loss, tenderness, chewability, taste, aroma, color, and texture on chicken breast when cooked using different methods such as: sous-vide (water bath), baking, air-frying, and pan-frying. Killing harmful organisms by cooking is necessary for meat, and these different methods result in different moisture retention and texture of the product. The intention of this experiment is to equip consumers with the information they need to choose which cooking method best aligns with their preferences.
