Broiler breasts and thighs as bone-in or boneless parts were stored in crushed ice for up to 14 days, and the nutrient composition of the meat was determined. No significant trend of change was found for moisture, fat, and protein content over time for either treatment. Ash, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium content decreased with time in all samples; however, die loss was greater in the boneless pieces. Calcium remained rather constant in boneless parts but showed a significant increase in parts with bone, indicating migration of calcium from bone to meat. Sodium content was also constant in all parts except the boneless thigh, which showed a decrease during storage. The present study indicated that variations on the reported values in literature for mineral content might be partly due to the variations in sampling time and method.
