“…However, it may be assumed that the total share is slightly above that, mainly due to unreported consumption of small game meat. In line with these predictions, the consumption of wild game may avoid two billion kilograms of CO 2 emissions, or even more [18].…”

This study analyzes the influence of two different types of game meat (deer and wild boar) in relation to quality characteristics and oral processing attributes of skinless sausage. The goal of this study was to compare grilled game-meat-based “ćevap” with conventional pork-meat-based samples. Research comprised of color analysis, evaluation of textural components, testing degree of difference, temporal dominance of sensations, calculation of main oral processing attributes, and examination of particle size distribution. The results show that oral processing attributes are similar in between samples and concur with results of the pork-based sample. This confirms the working hypothesis that it is possible to make game-meat-based “ćevap” fully comparable with conventional pork meat products. In parallel, color and flavor characteristics are influenced by the type of game meat in the sample. Most of the dominant sensory attributes that occurred during mastication were game meat flavor and juiciness.

“…Wild game meat accounts for approximately 2.5% of the protein consumed in the United States. 43 Most of this meat comes from cervids (deer, elk, and moose) and is not subjected to regulatory inspection. 44 This is important because CWD, 45 a prion disease of wild and farmed cervids, is becoming more prevalent in North America (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nwhc/ science/expanding-distribution-chronic-wasting-disease?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects).…”

Detecting Differences in Prion Protein Conformation by Quantifying Methionine Oxidation

A prion's pathogenic character is enciphered in its conformation, which also defines the chemical environments of its amino acids. Differences in chemical environments influence the reactivity of amino acid side chains, in a conformation-dependent manner. Chemical oxidation of susceptible methionines would identify those methionines on the surface of a prion, which would reveal conformation-dependent information. We identified a set of methionine-containing peptides derived from the tryptic, chymotryptic, or tryptic/chymotryptic digestion of recombinant prion protein and the Sc237 strain of hamster-adapted scrapie. We developed a multiple reaction monitoring-based method of quantifying the extent of the methionine oxidation in those peptides. This approach can be used to define a prion's conformation and to distinguish among prion strains, which is an important component of food safety.

“…This harvest yields more than 250 000 tons of meat per year, accounting for 2.5% of the meat consumed in the United States. 2 Unlike meat procured from commercial sources, meat harvested from wild game is not inspected by regulatory agencies. It is presumed that hunters can determine if the animal is fit for consumption by inspection.…”

This harvest yields more than 250 000 tons of meat per year, accounting for 2.5% of the meat consumed in the United States . Unlike meat procured from commercial sources, meat harvested from wild game is not inspected by regulatory agencies.…”

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Cervids and the Consequences of a Mutable Protein Conformation

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease of cervids (deer, elk, moose, etc.). It spreads readily from CWDcontaminated environments and among wild cervids. As of 2022, North American CWD has been found in 29 states, four Canadian provinces and South Korea. The Scandinavian form of CWD originated independently. Prions propagate their pathology by inducing a natively expressed prion protein (PrP C ) to adopt the prion conformation (PrP Sc ). PrP C and PrP Sc differ solely in their conformation. Like other prion diseases, transmissible CWD prions can arise spontaneously. The CWD prions can respond to selection pressures resulting in the emergence of new strain phenotypes. Annually, 11.5 million Americans hunt and harvest nearly 6 million deer, indicating that CWD is a potential threat to an important American food source. No tested CWD strain has been shown to be zoonotic. However, this may not be true for emerging strains. Should a zoonotic CWD strain emerge, it could adversely impact the hunting economy and game meat consumers.
