The eect of trisodium phosphate (TSP) solutions treatments on the sensory evaluation of poultry meat has been explored sinceTSP was recently approved by USDA for its usage in poultry processing to eliminate Salmonella contamination. In the presentstudy, fresh chicken thighs were dipped in water (control sample) and in 8, 10 and 12% TSP solutions (treated samples) for 15 min.Raw samples' color, smell and overall acceptability and cooked thighs' color, smell, ¯avor, texture and overall acceptability wereevaluated by consumer panelists. The evaluation of raw pieces after treatment or after 7 days storage at 2C revealed that, with theexception of 12% TSP solutions treatment, sensory quality was not adversely aected by TSP. The color, smell and overallacceptability hedonic scores for the boiled thigh meat were not dierent between the treated samples and the control ones. Only thecolor, ¯avor and overall acceptability of thighs dipped in 12% TSP were rated signi®cantly lower than the control sample. Theseresults suggested that TSP solutions have good potential as dips to sanitize chickens carcasses # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. Allrights reserved.
