The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. Treatments wereconcentrations of pineapple skin extract which consisted of four levels that is 0%, 15%, 27,5% and 40%, respectively.Results showed that immersion of culled layer chicken meat into the pineapple skin extract had significant effect (P<0,01) onWHC, pH, tenderness. The concentration of 27,5% of pineapple skin extract could increase tenderness, decreased WHC andpH.
