摘要: This study was carried out to determine the effects of dietary mixtures moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves and broiler finisher (M-BF) [moringa leaves, crushed maize (M-BF-CM); (BF-CM); (BF)] on antioxidative potential physico-chemical characteristics breast meat from broilers. Antioxidant activity (AA), ultimate pH (pHu), lightness (L*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) cooking loss (CL) were determined in samples each group. The AA extract evaluated using ferric reducing power radical scavenging against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) 2,2’-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic-acid) (ABTS). Total phenols, flavonoids proanthocyanidins contents also determined. Similarly, vivo antioxidant by determining glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) lipid peroxidation. Moringa fed exhibited highest phenolics (15.5 ± 0.22 mg/g tannic acid equivalent) (29.9 0.32 content. There no significant differences (P > 0.05) observed slaughter weight (SLW), pHu, CL, a* b* all samples. carcass (CW), L* values M-BF-CM M-BF, respectively. These findings suggest that supplementation could result free radicals inhibition, thus enhancing oxidative stability without having meat.
