The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of ginger extract on the sensory, physicochemical and biochemical properties of spent hen sausages. For this purpose, sausages were prepared into four different groups. They were as follows: broiler breast meat sausage without ginger extract, spent hen breast meat sausage without ginger extract, spent hen breast meat sausage with 2% ginger extract and spent hen breast meat sausage with 4% ginger extract. All parameters were analyzed at 0, 15th and 30th days of storage time. The proximate compositions of different sausage batters are analyzed and highly significant differences were found in pH, dry matter (DM)%, crude protein (CP)% and ether extract (EE)%, while no significant differences were found in cooking loss (%) and Ash (%) of sausage batter. While analyzing the different types of sausages, DM, CP and EE content of all treatments differ significantly (p<0.01). In contrast, DM and CP content increased significantly (p<0.01) with the advancement of different days of intervals. The FFA, POV and TBARS values were increased significantly (p<0.01) with prolonging the storage time. Significant differences were found among the sausages for its surface color. Flavor and overall acceptability were found significantly higher in broiler breast meat sausage and spent hen breast meat sausage with 2% ginger extract. Juiciness and tenderness were higher in broiler breast meat sausage without ginger extract. Worst results in all sensory parameters were found in spent hen breast meat sausage without ginger extract and spent hen breast meat sausages incorporated with 4% ginger extract. It might be concluded that addition of ginger extract at 2% level increased the overall acceptability of spent hen breast meat sausages to that of broiler breast meat sausages.
