The shelflife of the meat is directly affected by the nutritious cycle of the broilers. The other factors that have an effect on Shelflife are the growth environment and treatment given to the broilers. The process of decay in meat happened due to a process called Oxidative Deterioration. This happens in the muscle tissues of the meat. Lipid oxidation occurs due to the presence of excessive polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA). Spirulina controls the PUFA present in the broilers and slows down lipid oxidation, which in turn increases the shelflife of the meat.
