Study of Water Binding Capacity, pH, Chemical Composition and Microstructure of Livestock Meat and Poultry

Abstract

This paper shows the results of analysis of chemical composition, water binding capacity, pH and microstructure of maral meat, goat meat, lamb, and turkey meat. From the analysis, the high content of protein and ash is observed in turkey meat, fat prevails in lamb, and less amount in maral meat and goat meat. pH value lies between 5.7 (turkey white meat) and 6.4 (goat meat). Low value of water binding capacity is detected in turkey meat (58.2% in red meat, 59.2% in white meat) and high value-in maral meat 79.57%. The morphology and microstructure of meat have some Original Research Article

Fatty Acid Composition of Female Turkey Muscles in Kazakhstan

“…The proximate composition (moisture, fat, ash and protein) was determined according to the standard methods, fully described in (Okuskhanova et al, 2017b). The fatty acid composition was determined at the certified laboratory of limited liability partnership "Nutritest" according to the standard method of GOST 55483-2013 which determine the fatty acids composition by gas chromatography in meat and meat products" (Antipova et al, 2001).…”

Effect of Alkali-Salt Treatment of Meat By-Products on Physical, Chemical and Rheological Properties

“…Biochemical changes happening in meat by-products under the influence of enzymes and microorganisms contribute to the modification of its functional and technological properties, shortening the technological cycle, increasing the nutritional value of the finished product, improving its digestibility and storage stability [7,8].…”

Effect of Food Bio-Additives on Chemical and Amino Acid Compositions of Cooked Sausages

“…It has good taste and technological properties. Structural proteins of muscle tissue -actin, myosin and actomyosin -perfectly bind water and fat, forming a branched structure in the solution, which, during heating, becomes a quasi-solid state, the consistency of the product becomes strong, elastic and at the same time tender [12,13].…”
