Potato peel is a waste generated in large amounts in the food industry; however, it has been shown that these residues are an important source of antioxidant compounds. The effect of potato peel powder addition (2, 5, and 10%) on the physicochemical, sensory, and antioxidant status of pork patties during refrigerated storage (2 °C/9 days/under dark) was evaluated. Polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of potato peel powder ethanol extract were determined. Pork patties were subjected to proximate chemical composition, physicochemical, and sensory evaluations. Results showed that potato peel ethanol extract at the highest used concentration (500 µg/mL) is an important source of total phenolic (>50 mg gallic acid equivalents/g) and chlorogenic acid compounds (ca. 40 mg chlorogenic acid equivalents/g) and exerts free radical scavenging (>50% of DPPH inhibition) and reducing power activity (p p p > 0.05). The use of potato peel powder as a natural antioxidant for meat products is recommended.
