Abstract：The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with different concentrations (0.05%, 0.10% and
0.15%) of grapefruit seed extract (GSE) on sensory quality, physicochemical and microbial indicators of meat samples from
Yanbian yellow cattle during chilled storage. GSE was highly effective in preserving the meat quality of Yanbian yellow
cattle. The shelf life of the GSE treatment groups was extended by 2 to 4 d compared with the control group, and the best
preservation effect was observed when GSE concentration was 0.10%.
