Antioxidant and antimicrobial efficacy of grape seed extract (GSE) comparing with synthetic antioxidant i.e. butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA) was studied in chicken meat patties during refrigerated storage (4±1°C). The chicken patties added with GSE had significantly (P<0.05) lower 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (2-TBARS) values and free fatty acid (FFA) per cent compared to control (C) and BHA added patties during refrigerated storage. Addition of GSE significantly (P<0.05) reduced the total plate counts, total psychrophilic counts and coliform counts during 20 days of refrigerated storage (4±1°C). Patties with GSE recorded significantly (P<0.05) superior scores of colour, flavour, juiciness and overall palatability than C and BHA added patties. The 2-TBARS values, FFA per cent and microbial counts increased significantly (P<0.05) and sensory scores were decreased significantly (P<0.05) as the progressing of storage period irrespective of treatments. These changes were within limits and did not show significant quality deterioration. It is concluded that addition of natural antioxidant i.e GSE @ 0.1% delayed the rancidity development, inhibited the growth of micro organisms and further increased shelf life of chicken meat patties up to 20 days.
