ANALYSIS OF CHEMICAL CONSTITUTION OF PECTORAL MUSCLES IN PIGEONS

Abstract

The aim of investigation was to compare of quality meat traits in pigeons of four breeds: King, Strasser, Wrocławski meat and Homing pigeon 28 day old young birds were killed. In chemical analysis pectoral muscle (Musculus pectoralis maior) was used. The following components were examined: total cholesterol, free water, colouring (l*, a*, b*) and pH[sub]24[/sub]. Contents of fat, collagen and cholesterol were on low level in all of investigated breeds what showed the great culinary and dietetic usefulness of pigeon meat. Protein content in pectoral muscles in examined breeds was similar (18,48–19,12%).
