The mean values of FFA, TVN and TBA of meat meals beef cubes, grilled beefsteak and beef kofta were 1.03±0.11, 13.56±0.82 & 0.10±0.01; 1.17±0.18, 13.05±1.01 & 0.10±0.02 and 1.24±0.10, 14.88±1.15 & 0.14±0.03, respectively. While, in heat-treated chicken meat meals, grilled chicken, shish Tawook and fried chicken were 0.99±0.10, 12.23±0.56 & 0.17±0.06; 1.41±0.10, 13.18±0.91 & 0.08±0.003 and 1.02±0.12, 13.78±1.10 & 0.09±0.01, respectively. The mean values of aerobic plate count were 1.3×103±0.36×103, 4.8×103± 1.3×103, and 2.5×103±1.09×103 cfu/g in examined beef cubes, grilled beefsteak and beef kofta, respectively. While in examined grilled chicken, shish Tawook and fired chicken were 1.25×103 ± 0.31×103, 1.02×103 ± 0.18×103 and 1.08×103 ± 0.35×103 cfu/g, respectively. Enterobacteriaceae, coliforms and mold &yeast were detected in all examined meat meals at different incidence rate with different level. Staphylococcus aureus and E.coli were detected in 13.33 &13.33% ; 13.33 & 13.33% and 13.33 & 20% in examined beef cubes, grilled beefsteak and beef kofta, respectively.
