Effects of age of quails, coturnix coturnix japonica and storage period of carcass on the pH, weight loss and the shelf life when stored at 4 °C

Three studies were conducted in order to fulfill the aim of this study which is to determine the effects of age and the storage period on pH, weight loss and microbial condition of three different age groups of quail carcass. Young quail carcass (3 weeks old), mature quail carcass (9 weeks old) and...
