Goat and sheep meat: fatty acids composition and sensorial characteristics
Abstract
Goat meat is considered a lean meat and its chemical composition is in agreement with current consumer requirements. On the other hand, sheep meat is smoother and juicier. Another sensorial peculiarity is the flavour. The fat amount in animal carcass, the diet applied and its slaughter weight influenced sensorial attributes, which maintained high and positive relations among each other, and negative relations concerning live and slaughter weight. Sensorial analysis of meat reflects the consumer preference for some sensorial attributes, mainly related to the existence of fatty acids and volatile substances in red meat. This revision evaluated the genetic and environment factors effect upon lipid profile, volatile components and sensorial characteristics of goat and sheep meat.Downloads
