Abstract

Minced meat is a perishable food item, so antioxidants are added to extend its shelf life. The use of legal extracts as natural antioxidants has also proven its effectiveness as an antimicrobial. Therefor this paper showed that ginseng extract was evaluated to improve the chemical, physical, sensory and microbial criteria of chilled minced buffalo meat samples by the addition of 200ppm from ginseng with silver nano particles extract cold storage at 4ₒC up to spoil in compared with synthetic one (TBHQ). Results for characterization of nano-particles using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) illuminated that ginseng extract (GE) particles sizes being 123:200 nm, while ginseng with nano silver particles extract (GSNPsE) was 22:30 nm. Also, results of bioactive compounds elucidated that antioxidant activity of ginseng with silver nanoparticles extract is 79.56 ± 0.51% while content of total phenolic compounds being 48.50 ± 1.2mg GAE/g and total flavonoids being 62.83 mg RE /g. (GE) and (GSNPsE) clearly showed that chlorogenic, m-Coumaric and Gentisic have highest amount in both of nanoparticles extract being (95.25 ± 4.45, 122.70 ± 4.20), (90.32 ± 2.85, 118.86 ± 3.10) and (65.30 ± 1.55, 78.22 ± 1.02) respectively, while the lowest amount of phenolic compounds detected with Quercetin and Naringin being (5.87 ± 0.76,7.18 ± 3.22) and (8.65 ± 0.15, 10.02 ± 1.25) respectively. Results of physiochemical assays for stored minced buffalo meat indicated that colour, pH and TBA were 6.28, 6 and 0.52 for minced buffalo meat sample which treated by (GSNPsE), while the control one was 4.8, 7.35 and 1.85 at 9th day. Moreover, the minced meat samples which treated with GSNPsE has high effect for inhibition zones against some selected microorganisms and had low Total Bacteria Count(TBC) in rapprochement with other dealed out minced meat buffalo samples during cold storage.

So, our study recommended that GSNPsE could be replaced a synthetic type of antioxidants (TBHQ) and used as antimicrobial compound in meat products under cold storage up to 9 days.
