The present study was intended to answer 2 scientific hypotheses: 1) the quail species has a significant influence in breast meat composition; 2) wild quail's presents healthier composition than their farmed counterparts. An analysis of pectoral muscles and captive common quails (Coturnix coturnix) domestic japonica domestica) performed. content fatty acids (FA), amino acids, total cholesterol, vitamin E, some basic macro- microminerals genus Coturnix were analyzed. Regarding on composition,...
Caponization is associated with some morbidity and mortality, which contributes to important economic losses. This practice executed without any pain relief (neither anesthesia nor analgesia) can be painful consideration of animal welfare. On the other hand, immunocastration accomplished by Improvac Bovipriva in pigs cattle represents a noninvasive procedure, for that reason regarded as an alternative improved study includes 4 experimental groups consisting capons, slips, roosters, birds...
Some consumers are replacing cow's milk with plant-based alternatives (PBMAs). The present study aimed to characterize the lipid profiles of (n = 60) and PBMA types (soya, oat, rice, almond, coconut, hazelnut; n 10 per type). Significant differences were found in fatty acid (FA) PBMAs milk, particularly FA diversity (15 FAs vs 54 milk) proportion prime groups. profile coconut was dominated by saturated (SFA), whereas monounsaturated (MUFA) or polyunsaturated (PUFA) dominant remaining types....
The red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa) is a feathered game species of great socioeconomic importance in its native range and also the UK. aim this study was to present detailed comparison meat's lipid fraction obtained from wild farm-raised specimens simultaneously compare breast leg meat portions. Meat had significant (P < 0.05) lower proportion saturated fatty acid (less 5.1%) presented better P/S n-6/n-3 ratios, atherogenicity index than counterparts. 0.001) higher contents total...
Recently, immunocastration with Improvac (ImmC). has been tested in broilers and a considerable reduction serum testosterone concentration (reduced by 79% compared to roosters) was observed. The aim of this study evaluate the effect on meat fatty acid (FA) composition its comparison caponized intact males (roosters). conducted 3 experimental groups: control group (roosters), birds submitted surgical caponization (SurgC), Improvac. breast partial FA sums castrated (SurgC ImmC) (roosters)...
The prevalence of lactose intolerance is one the factors driving consumers toward plant-based milk alternatives (PBMA). This study aimed to analyze carbohydrate profile cows' (regular and lactose-free from both pasteurized UHT milks; n = 80) PBMA (n 60) by HPLC. revealed that there was no significant difference in energy content total between regular milk. Although are entirely different food matrices, some types, as soya coconut, may have contents comparable those Furthermore, variability...
In this study, the lipid profile of 5 different edible tissues (leg, thigh, heart, gizzard, and liver) ostrich was analyzed. Ostrich presented a low fat content (<5 g/100 g wet basis). Gizzard heart revealed highest amounts total cholesterol (1.77 1.47 mg/g basis, respectively), differing significantly from all other (which averaged 0.95 The main tocochromanol in α-tocopherol (10.3 μg/g basis an average 3.4 for remaining tissues). All samples fatty acid profile, dominated by polyunsaturated...
Abstract BACKGROUND The study tested the hypothesis that habitat and sex influence composition of meat lipid fraction. Therefore, this aims to characterize effects on feral fallow deer ( Dama dama ) tenderloin psoas major muscle) intramuscular fat composition. RESULTS Fallow from Atlantic forest presented higher total cholesterol monounsaturated fatty acids contents, while Montado significantly proportion branched chain acids, n‐6 polyunsaturated dimethyl acetals. Regarding meat's acid...
