“…With the exception of Longissimus thoraces muscle, no differences in moisture content between muscles in the present study is agreement with findings of Babiker and Yousif (1990), El-Faer et al (1991), AlShabib and Abu-Tarboush (2004) and Alfawaz (2004). They reported that different muscles from the same animal appear to have similar moisture contents.…”

“…No significant differences in protein content between the Infraspinatus, Triceps brachii, Longissimus thoracis, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, and Biceps femoris muscles in the present study is on line with the conclusions of others (El-Faer et al, 1991;Dawood and Alkanhal, 1995;Kadim et al, 2006). Protein contents of Bactrian camel muscles were slightly lower than those reported by Bebiker and Yousif (1990) and Gheisari et al (2009) and Kadim et al (2006) for dromedary camel's muscles.…”

“…Breed may cause slight differences in camel meat composition. Studies from Saudi Arabia (El-Faer et al, 1991;Elgasim and Alkanhal, 1992;Al-Shabib and Abu-Tarboush, 2004) reported lower protein content than those from United Arab Emirates, Iran, Sudan and Syria (Babiker and Yousif, 1990;Kadim et al, 2006Kadim et al, , 2009Gheisari et al, 2009;Al-Bachir and Zeinou, 2009). However, content of Longissimus thoracis muscle in Bactrian camel is similar to those of dromedary Longissimus thoracis (16.8%) muscle (Abdelhadi et al, 2012).…”

The objective of this study was to determine chemical composition of Infraspinatus, Triceps brachii, Longissimus thoraces, Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus, and Semimembranosus muscles from nine Bactrian carcasses (2-3 years of age). The left side muscles were collected and kept in a chiller (3-4ºC) for 48 hrs then stored at -20ºC. Chemical analyses were carried out to determine moisture, crude protein, fat (ether extract), ash, essential and non-essential element contents. The Infraspinatus, Triceps brachii, Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus muscles had significantly higher moisture content than Longissimus thoraces muscle. The range of variation in protein content among the muscles was from 17% (Longissimus thoraces) to 18.8% (Semitendinosus). The Longissimus thoraces muscle had significantly higher fat content than other muscles. The Longissimus thoraces muscle had significantly lower phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium contents than Infraspinatus, Triceps brachii, Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus muscles. Small variation in iron, zinc, lead, cadmium, copper, cobalt and magnesium contents were found among selected muscles. This study indicated that muscle location of the Bactrian camel may have an effect on its chemical composition.

“…In the current study, K was the most abundant macro-mineral in Sudanese camel muscles followed by P, Na, Mg and then Ca. Similar trends of macro-minerals in the dromedary camel LT muscle were reported by Kadim et al (2006) and El-Faer et al (1991). Sodium expressed on fresh tissue in camel meat increased with increased age in the four different muscles, LT (149-159 mg/100 g) followed by BF (141-159 mg/100 g), SM (141-155 mg/100 g) and ST (139-157 mg/100 g).…”

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of age (3-4 and 6-7 years old) on concentration of amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and collagen in the longissimus thoraces (LT), biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles of 12 Sudanese camels. There were significant effects of age and muscle type on moisture, fat and protein contents. The LT muscle had significantly (P < .05) higher fat than other muscles. The proportion of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids, which ranged from 1 .0 to 1.07, was above the minimum ratio of 4.0 recommended to reduce the risk of coronary diseases in humans. The most abundant essential amino acid in camel muscles was lysine, followed by leucine, phenylalanine, Isoleucine, threonine and methionine. Muscles from 6-to 7-yearold camels had slightly higher insoluble collagen than those from 3-to 4-year-old camels. There was a general trend for mineral content of camel meat increasing with age with significant effect on Ca and Pb concentrations. The Sudanese camel meat is also an important source of several vitamins. This study indicated that concentrations of nutrients among muscles were affected by age and the knowledge of these factors allow for better marketing and processing of camel meat. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Phosphorus (P) embedded in trade was estimated as the product of a commodity-specific coefficient of P content and the mass of the commodity as reported in FAOSTAT (2016). Data for P coefficients were obtained from online databases (www.feedphosphates.com) and scientific literature (Text S1 and Table S1; El-Faer et al, 1991;Hong et al, 2011;Maertens et al, 2005;Quynh et al, 2005;Soltner, 1979;Swaney & Lassaletta, 2015).…”

There is growing evidence that the release of phosphorus (P) from "legacy" stores can frustrate efforts to reduce P loading to surface water from sources such as agriculture and human sewage. Less is known, however, about the magnitude and residence times of these legacy pools. Here we constructed a budget of net anthropogenic P inputs to the Baltic Sea drainage basin and developed a three-parameter, two-box model to describe the movement of anthropogenic P though temporary (mobile) and long-term (stable) storage pools. Phosphorus entered the sea as direct coastal effluent discharge and via rapid transport and slow, legacy pathways. The model reproduced past waterborne P loads and suggested an~30-year residence time in the mobile pool. Between 1900 and 2013, 17 and 27 Mt P has accumulated in the mobile and stable pools, respectively. Phosphorus inputs to the sea have halved since the 1980s due to improvements in coastal sewage treatment and reductions associated with the rapid transport pathway. After decades of accumulation, the system appears to have shifted to a depletion phase; absent further reductions in net anthropogenic P input, future waterborne loads could decrease. Presently, losses from the mobile pool contribute nearly half of P loads, suggesting that it will be difficult to achieve substantial near-term reductions. However, there is still potential to make progress toward eutrophication management goals by addressing rapid transport pathways, such as overland flow, as well as mobile stores, such as cropland with large soil-P reserves.Plain Language Summary All life depends on phosphorus (P), which is why it is an important crop fertilizer. Humans generally consume more P than needed and the excess ends up in sewage systems. Past management of P in fertilizer and human sewage has led to the accumulation of P in soils and sediments of lakes and streams. This accumulation is called "legacy" P because it can leak for decades to downstream lakes and coastal areas where it contributes to environmental problems. We developed a model to understand P dynamics for the entire drainage basin of the Baltic Sea since 1900. This model included a rapid transport pathway that represented sources such as runoff from cropland and a slow pathway that represented leakage from mobile legacy sources. The model suggests that loss from the mobile pool contributes about half of current waterborne inputs to the sea; as a result, it could be difficult to make substantial near-term reductions. However, there are opportunities to meet environmental goals by slowing the accumulation of P in the landscape and by implementing measures that address the rapid transport pathway, such runoff from cropland, and the mobile stores, such as cropland with large soil-P reserves.
