This study aimed to evaluate the fatty acid profile and health lipid indices of sheep meat (from 52 Karakul from NE Romania). The effect age at slaughter influence muscle region were studied for nutritional parameters, especially acids fractions. Based on profiles contents, sanogenic determined two groups. Thus, different regions lamb adult analysed both genders, Longissimus dorsi Triceps brachii, argue advantages each category rationalization, in terms consumption, regarding their impact...

This study aimed to nutritionally and technologically characterize the meat produced by rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus, Flemish Giant breed, 50 farmed individuals) hare (Lepus europaeus Pallas, hunted individuals). Muscles were sampled from several carcass regions: dorsal torso—Longissimus dorsi (LD), thigh—Semimembranosus (SM), upper arm—Triceps brachii (TB). To better depict meat’s nutritional quality, proximate composition fatty acid profile assessed, then gross energy content lipid...

Romania is known among the main European honey producers, due to variety of landforms as well diversity flora. Thirty-four samples acacia, linden and multifloral types, produced in eastern collected during 2013–2018, were physico-chemically analyzed using methods provided by national EU standards. The results water-insoluble solids, color refractive index found be 0.023–0.131%, 0.3–76.4 mm Pfund 1.485–1.499, respectively. moisture content ranged between 15.20% 20.77%, solid substances 79.23%...

The aim of this work was to characterize the quality meat from hares (Lepus europaeus Pallas), namely, fatty acid content, health lipid indices, and instrumental, histological, sensory profiles by gender muscle type (Longissimus dorsi/LD vs. Semimembranosus/SM). ΣPUFA/Σ SFA higher for males, with an average value 1.62/1. Σn6/n3 ratio elevated a mean 5.34/1. essential acids were 41.94%, desirable 77%, polyunsaturation index 6.09. Moreover, atherogenic 0.72, thrombogenic 0.71,...

Introduction The level of essential minerals in meat is an important factor human nutrition and health. Meat from responsibly managed wildlife alternative raw material with considerable nutritional benefits. hunted animals has non-essential elements for the body. It to carefully monitor levels heavy metals accumulated tissues polluted areas ensure food safety environmental contamination. High environment can pose a danger Methods study aims investigate mineral muscle tissue organs wild boar...
