The article presents the results of the study of the nutritional value of meat cutlets from veal with the addition of cedar nut cake. The chemical and mineral composition of the cake obtained from the seeds of Siberian cedar growing on the territory of Eastern Kazakhstan has been determined. Four variants of cutlets with the addition of 0, 5, 10, and 15% of cedar cake are developed. The results of the analysis show that increasing the amount of cedar oil cake in the composition of meat semi-finished products increases the protein content (P<0.01) but at the same time the fat content in the experimental samples decreases (P<0.01) due to lower fat content in the veal meat. In terms of fatty-acid composition, the cutlets are characterized by high PUFA content (48.08%), followed by MUFA (29.46%) and SFA (22.46%). The developed cutlets are enriched with magnesium (100.4 mg/100 g) and calcium (75.3 mg/100 g), and iron content is 2.78 mg/100 g. The analysis of microstructure showed that cedar nut cake is evenly distributed among the muscle fibers in minced meat. The inclusion of cedar nut cake in the recipe for veal cutlets helps to improve the mineral, amino-acid, and fatty-acid composition and allows this product to be classified as a functional dietary product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
