The quality parameters of chevon pertaining to physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics due to high-pressure processing (HPP) have been studied. Prepacked meat pieces were subjected to HPP at selected pressures of 300 and 600 MPa for 5 and 10 min at 28±2°C. Changes in pH, texture, water activity, color, myoglobin, oxymyoglobin, metmyoglobin, microbial profile, and lipid peroxidative parameters in terms of non-heme iron and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values after HPP and refrigerated storage (4±1°C) were examined for a period of 30 days. No statistically significant change was observed in the pH initially, but during 5-15 days of storage, treated samples recorded an increase in pH compared to control. Textural characteristics in terms of hardness and springiness revealed a significant (p<0.05) increase due to HPP and subsequent reduction during storage. Significant increase (p<0.05) in hunter color values of L* and b* and significant (p<0.05) decrease in a* were observed with increase in pressure treatments during storage. The percentage of oxymyoglobin has shown significant (p<0.05) reduction of 16 % with respect to control at 300 MPa. HPP at 600 MPa also produced significant (p<0.05) reduction of 40 and 24 % in oxymyoglobin compared to control and 300-MPa treated samples, respectively. HPP at 300 and 600 MPa significantly increased (p<0.05) the non-heme iron and TBARS values initially and during refrigerated storage. These two chemical markers exhibited a correlation coefficient of r 2 =0.95. Microbial profile revealed better shelf life in terms of safety and quality characteristics due to HPP. Even though changes in physico-chemical parameters were observed in 300-MPa chevon samples, it was significantly (p<0.05) lower than that of 600-MPa samples and produced a shelf life of 25 days at refrigerated storage. Studies revealed the potential of applying HPP for the development of readyto-eat meat products by optimizing threshold pressure coupled with identification of proper additives which can suppress the undesirable chemical changes.
