The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the addition of different levels of black seed oil and black seed powder to beef meat ball on the quality and shelf life of beef patties. During the studies lipid oxidation, number of aerobic bacteria, psychrotrophes and entero bactriacea of raw minced beef stored under refrigeration conditions for 24days were determinated. Results showed that the addition of BSO, BSP have significant decrease in APC for 10 days after that no significant decrease in count, treatment of meat balls with black seed oil (at concentrations 1, 2, 3%) induce significant decrease in enterobacteriaceae count at different period of storage, however addition of black seed powder (at concentrations 2, 4, 6%) induced significant increase in psychrotrophs count at different period of storage. The outcomes of this research is that addition of black seed oil and black seed powder to beef meat does not increase shelf life of meat. However, This addition has antioxidant effect
