Summary

Effect of washing with water and EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetate) solution (2%, pH 4.5) on the keeping and sensory qualities of ground buffalo meat and meat patties during refrigerated storage of 20 days at 4 more or less 1 deg C was studied. Myofibrillar fragmentation index of raw and EDTA-washed meat did not differ significantly, but exhibited a pronounced increase in water-washed samples during storage and was accompanied by higher microbial counts. Washing generally reduced thiobarbituric acid value and EDTA-washed meat had lowest thiobarbituric acid values. Microbial counts of EDTA-washed meat were significantly lower than those of unwashed. Water-washed meat patties were comparable to raw meat patties.
