Abstract A total of 4 kg of buffalo and camel edible offal(2kg liver and 2kg heart) were divided into 4 groups ,each of them half kg. First group (control), second group was treated with sterile D.W, third group was treated with trisodium phosphate (10%) and fourth group was treated with L.A (2%) and they were examined chemically and microbiologically every two days under refrigeration storage at 4±1•C till sings of spoilage. J-Chemlcal examination (PH measurement) : As pH considers an indicator of spoilage, so it was a necessary to determined pH value every time before the samples were subjected to microbiological examination. A) liver samples: The mean pH values were 6.36±0.6 and 6.3±.03 for control and dipped in distaled water samples for buffalo liver at 3rd day of examination while in camel samples they were 6.07±0.07 and 6. 13±0. 13 . By the s” day of storage only TSP and L.A treated sample still fit and pH were 6.3±0.06 and 6.25±0.15 in buffalo samples, while in camel samples they were 6.15±0.14 and 5.97±0.09 which considered acceptable. But after previously mentioned periods the mean pH values exceeded less than 6 indicating the decomposition. B) Heart sample The mean pH values were 6.57 ±0.03, 6.47±0.03 and 6.63 ±0.03 for control, distaled water and TSP (10%) treated samples for buffalo samples at 3rd day of storage while in camel samples they were 6.43±0.09, 6.3±0.1 and 6.67±0.03. By the 5th day only lactic |
