Lipid content and fatty acids compositions in commercial cuts of young goat meat

ABSTRACT: Brazil has the largest herd of goats of the American continent, with more than 9 million head. Goat farming is considered a growing and important activity for the economy, mainly in the northeastern region of Brazil .In this research, were determined the lipid content and the composition of fillet and shank fatty acids of young goats, registered in the inspection sector of the Ministry of Agriculture and marketed in the city of Salvador (Bahia). The average percentage of total lipids in the fillet was 1.68±0.04 and in the shank of 4.02±0.09, this is a significant difference between the cuts (P摘要：巴西拥有美洲大陆规模最大的山羊种群，存栏量超900万头。山羊养殖是一项对经济发展兼具重要性与增长潜力的产业，在巴西东北部地区尤为突出。本研究针对经巴西农业部（Ministry of Agriculture）检验部门登记备案、并在巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多市上市销售的青年山羊，测定了其里脊（fillet）与腱子（shank）部位的脂质含量及脂肪酸组成。结果显示，里脊部位的总脂质平均百分比为1.68±0.04，腱子部位为4.02±0.09，不同切割部位间的脂质含量存在显著差异（P
