The results indicated that pumpkin seed extract contains Phenols, alkaloids, cyclosides and flavonoids. A significant decrease was also observed in the values ​​of peroxide and the percentage of free fatty acids of meat samples treated with plant extracts compared to the control treatment of 4.94 mcg / kg of fat on the sixth day of preservation and excluded due to its pollution. Maekeroba The samples continued treatment within the standard border until the twelfth day of cryopreservation.
