The emulsion stability was found highest for chicken meat and minimum in chevon nuggets. Significantly (P<0.05) higher fat values were in nuggets buffalo meat nuggets whereas significantly (P<0.05) lower protein content was recorded in chevon nuggets. The sensory studies revealed that scores of colour and appearance, flavour, texture, juiciness, meat flavour intensity and overall acceptability were significantly (P<0.05) higher in chevon nuggets followed by carabeef and chicken nuggets.
