Instrumental color, pH, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and sensory attributes were determined on manufactured patties initially (time 0) and after 5, 10 and 15 days of refrigerated storage. Addition of walnut leaf extract to pork patties was more effective than cherry stem extract in controlling lipid oxidation and color changes during cold storage, in agreement with results from the <em>in vitro</em> antioxidant activity. The natural additives significantly (p&lt;0.05) increased phenolic content and antioxidant activity in cooked pork patties as compared to control and BHT treated samples, throughout the storage period. After 15 days, the TBARS values were significantly (p&lt;0.05) reduced from 3.01 in control patties to 2.43, 1.58, 1.83 and 1.19 mg malondialdehyde per kg samples in patties with BHT, WLE, CSE and WLP, respectively. Addition of extracts showed positive effects on sensory attributes, the highest scores being achieved by WLP treated samples.</p> ER -
