Abstract: Chicken meat as rich source of high quality protein in soften sought by consumers due to its cheap price. However, according to komba et. Al (2012), it is also highly susceptible to microbial contamination which in turn is responsible for the decrease of the meat product's quality due to spoilage and other foodborne illnesses it produces. This quasi-experimental study proposes that the freshness of chicken meat could be assessed by indicating its microbial load through the use of a bioluminescent assay. The luminiscent bacteria photobacterium mandapamensis is used as the indicator for this study. Furthermore, the aerobic plate count values acquired are consistent with respect to the dilution to the state of the meat. Fresh chicken meat gave low bacterial counts that were under the required standard of this paper that states that poultry meat is already contaminated and is hazardous to health while the exposed and dirty chicken meat yielded a value higher than the standard. The luminiscent assay results were all under this paper's standard cut off value for light extinction or black out. Based on these results. Bioluminescent assay can detect the significant bacterial load of the contaminant and can be used to asses the freshness of chicken meat.
