SUMMARY– Light and dark meat from 24 heavy hens was frozen and stored for 30 and 90 days. After storage, drip was collected and moisture and fat removed. The essential amino acids in acid and alkaline hydrolyzates of dark and light chicken meat and drip were determined by microbiological assay. Acid hydrolyzates from drip were also analyzed on a Beckman/Spinco Amino Acid Analyzer. The concentration of amino acids in both dark and light meat decreased and the concentration in drip increased with increasing storage time. In addition, larger quantities of essential amino acids were detected in drip from frozen light meat than from frozen dark meat after both periods of storage. The quantitative results obtained from the analyzer were in general agreement with those obtained by microbiological assay but were somewhat higher. The concentration of each amino acid, as a percentage of total amino acids, was similar in meat and drip.
