<![CDATA[The research was purposed to know the levels of pineapple extract addition (Ananascomosus L. Merr) with bromelin compound, cooking time and the interaction between two factors on the shear force, the tensile strength, pH, water holding capacity (WHC) and cooking loss (CL) of post production duck meat. The experiment used 18 Mojosari duck with average age 84 weeks. The samples for shear force and tensile strength used drum stick, pH, WHC and CL exam used thigh. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance from Completely Randomized Design (CRD) of Factorial Pattern 4 × 3, with factor of pineapple extract addition (0, 5, 10, 15 %) and cooking time (0, 30, 60 minutes). There were interactions between pineapple extract addition and cooking time on pH, WHC and CL (P<0.01) and tensile strength (P<0.05). The addition of pineapple extract and cooking time improved tenderness, pH, WHC and decreased CL of duck meat. The addition of pineapple extract at 15% and cooking time 60 minutes produced the best quality of duck meat.Key words: pineapple extract, cooking time, meat, post production duck, physical quality]]>
