Effect of Custard Apple (Annona squamosa) Seed Extract on Quality of Chicken Breast Fillets

Abstract

Chicken (Broiler) breast fillets were dipped separately for 10 min in distilled water, 100 ppm solution of BHT and 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% aqueous solutions of custard apple (Annona squamosa) seed extract (CSE), stored under refrigeration (4±1oC) and analyzed on 0th, 3rd, 6th and 9th day of storage. Ascorbic acid content, Total Phenolic content, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power and DPPH radical scavenging assay of CSE were respectively 645.07±0.32 µgAA/mg, 234.30±0.44 µgGAE/mg, 882.95±0.34 µMFe(II)equi/g and 78.35±0.49%. The fillets treated with 0.5% solution of CSE had significantly (p 0.01) lower score than the control on 5 point hedonic scale on zero day of storage. However, they were acceptable till ninth day with significantly (p 0.01) higher scores than the controls. The ERV, WHC, pH, TBARS value, Tyrosine value, Total plate count and Psychrophillic count of the ninth day samples treated with 0.5% CSE were respectively 18.06±0.14ml, 63.63±0.46%, 5.72±0.01, 0.490±0.002 mgMDA/Kg, 9.78±0.20 mg/100g, 5.07±0.01 log10CFU/g and 3.83±0.01 log10CFU/g.

Agricultural Waste Annona squamosa L. Peel and Seed Extract: Biosynthesis of Hand Sanitizer Gel against Skin Pathogens

“…This result is similar to Al-Deen (2017) provided that among three different portions of A. squamosa fruit, peel showed the highest antimicrobial activity than pulp and seeds. In another study, Kadam et al (2018) reported similar results for peel extract of A. squamosa exhibited good antimicrobial activity against P. putida, S. putrefaciens, E. coli and E. fecalis with inhibition zones ranging from 10 -21 mm in increasing trend with increasing concentration of Annona squamosa peel extract from 250 to 1250 mg/ml. In a recent study of Kadam et al (2020), total phenolic and ascorbic acid content of hydroethanolic (50%) extract of Annona squamosa seed were respectively 234.30 ± 0.44 µgGAE/mg and 645.07 ± 0.32 µgAA/mg of the extract as a result of which possessed significant antioxidant as well as antibacterial activity.…”

According to the results, all different part of extracts obtained from Annona squamosa shown to be with antibacterial activity against tested microbial pathogens.…”

“…Due to the high consumption and industrial processing of fruit edible parts, fruits residues (principal peels and seeds) are generated in large quantities in large cities and become a severe environmental issue. Recently, many researchers have found that the high natural antioxidants contents were observed in the peel and seed of Annona squamosa [10,12,13,14]. Therefore, it would be beneficial if the fruit residues could be used to recover natural antioxidants especially phenolic compounds, making them fully used in the food, pharmaceutical, as well as cosmetic industry.…”

“…One of the plants that is potential as an antibacterial is custard apple (Annona squamosa L.). It has been well documented that custard apple peel, pulp, seeds, leaves, bark and roots are good sources of natural antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds [9,10,11,12].…”

“…Annona squamosa is rich sources of secondary metabolites like flavonoids, phenols, phenolic glycosides, aporphine alkaloids and saponins that were found in aqueous extract of peel and seed. It has been well documented that Custard apple (Annona squamosa) peel and seeds are good sources of natural antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds [10,11,12]. Essential oils and phenolic compounds from a variety of plants have been reported to have antiviral activities due to their power to solubilize the lipid membrane of enveloped viruses including human coronaviruses [8].…”
