Abstract

The antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts from the fruit of Prunus mume were determined in chicken breast meat systems. When P. mume extract (PM) was added to chicken breast meat, 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) value at Day 3 was decreased by about $45\%$ of the control. PM did not affect color of chicken meat compared to the control. The amounts of volatile aldehydes and hydrocarbons were significantly decreased by the addition of PH. Especially, hexanal was the most predominant volatile compound in the control taking up almost more than $50\%$ of the total volatiles, and PM reduced the amount into $26\%$ of the control meat at 3 days.
