1. Further-processed poultry products, such as chicken nuggets, are susceptible to rapid lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage. Natural ingredients from various plants or fruits may contribute to improving the quality and extending the shelf life of meat products. In the present study, the use of encapsulated raspberry powder (ERP
control, 0.5%, 1.0%) in chicken nugget production with and without phosphate (0.0%, 0.3%) and its effects on chemical composition, lipid oxidation, microbial quality and shelf life were examined.2. Phosphate and ERP had effects on chemical composition and a
