Abstract

Physico-chemical qualities of balangu, a traditional ready-to-eat meat (rte-mp), were evaluated in a 3×4 factorial experiment involving three packaging materials (aluminium foil, paper and polythene) and four storage times (0 , 24, 48 and 72 hours). Balangu was prepared using traditional methods, packaged and stored according to the designated treatments. Data obtained from all treatments were analysed using in the general linear model analysis of variance, and means were separated by Tukey test at 5% level of significance. Both packaging materials and storage length had significantly affected (P 24 > 48 >72 hours and ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, respectively. Paper packaging had shown better performance and could store balangu up to 48 hours with optimum sensory qualities.
