Thermal properties namely bulk density, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of chicken‐drum muscle were measured over a wide range of muscle moisture content and temperature. Variation of muscle density was quadratic with respect to moisture content. Specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity also showed quadratic variation with moisture content. The effect of temperature on specific heat capacity was related to the state of thermal denaturation of the chicken muscle protein. Regression equations of density, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity are presented. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry.
