Measurement and Content of Nonheme and Total Iron in Muscle

Abstract: A method for determining the nonheme iron content of meats was evaluated and used to determine the nonheme and heme iron content of selected muscles from beef, pork, and lamb. The method allows a quantitative determination of nonheme iron in meat and is influenced to only a minor degree by the presence of heme iron. Heating meat in a boiling water bath increased the nonheme iron content of the meat. Possibly, heating accelerates oxidative cleavage of the prophyrin ring thereby allowing release of the iron from… Show more

“…The main reason for the variability in the examined trace element content and its CVs might be that different breeds and feeding system arose in Switzerland in the last few years to comply with the provisions of a variety of meat labels that were established. Similar to our results, Schricker et al (1982a) and Carpenter and Clark (1995) found that the iron concentrations varied between different cuts from the same species. Therefore, it is important to draw interspecies comparisons with the same cuts or muscles.…”

“…The result is in agreement with those of Buchowski et al (1988) as mentioned above. Schricker et al (1982) observed differences in the concentration of total iron and heme iron in the meat of different animal species as well as in different muscles of the same species. In this case, the differences may be due to the different amounts of blood that remain in the muscle as a result of the uncontrollable vasodilatation that occurs prior to slaughter.…”

“…Heme iron concentration may be reduced in meats submitted to thermal processing (IGENE et al, 1979;SCHRICKER et al, 1982;BUCHOWSKI et al, 1988;KALPALATHIKA et al, 1991;CARPENTER;CLARK, 1995;RAMOS, 1999;LOMBARDI-BOCCIA et al, 2002;KONGKACHUICHAI et al, 2002;and TURHAN et al, 2004) due to the oxidation of the porphyrin ring and iron liberation MILLER, 1983;GARCIA et al, 1996). The myoglobin presents a tighter structure, which is resistant to denaturation by irradiation.…”

“…The Phe68 substitution increases protein stability. Measurement of iron that is released from degraded protoporphyrin IX can be assessed with bathophenanthroline disulfonic acid, assuming that a chelator with a higher affinity for iron is not present (65).…”
