Other than well-known meat produces from all ruminant animals such as cow and goat, quail is also one of the options for meat produces. However, similar issue is also faced by quail meat which is meat deterioration due to oxidation process after slaughtering. In this study, treatment mixture consisting of sunflower oil with sesame seed at three different ratios (1:3, 1:1 and 3:1) were applied on fresh quail meat to determine the effect on postharvest quality of quail meat. Postharvest parameters which observed in this study were weight loss, color, pH and firmness of the meat. Results showed in term of prolong the shelf life with maintaining meat quality, treatment 3 at 3:1 ratio gave significant effects (p<0.05) compared to control for weight loss, pH and firmness parameters. Meanwhile for the colour parameter, none of the treatment ratios showed the ability for maintaining the red colour of meat.
