Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate red deer (maral) meat quality based on chemical composition, pH, water-binding capacity (WBC), and amino acid content.Materials and Methods:Maral meat surface morphology measurements were obtained by scanning electron microscopy. Active acidity (pH) was determined by potentiometry. Samples were analyzed for WBC by exudation of moisture to a filter paper by the application of pressure. Chemical composition (moisture, protein, fat, and ash fractions) was obtained by drying at 150°C and by extraction, using ethylic ether, and ashing at 500-600°C. The amino acid composition was obtained by liquid chromatography.Results:Maral meat, with a pH of 5.85 and an average moisture content of 76.82%, was found to be low in fat (2.26%). Its protein content was 18.71% while its ash content was 2.21%. The amino acid composition showed that lysine (9.85 g/100 g), threonine (5.38 g/100 g), and valine (5.84 g/100 g) predominated in maral meat, while phenylalanine (4.08 g/100 g), methionine (3.29 g/100 g), and tryptophan (0.94 g/100 g) were relatively low in maral meat compared to other meats. The average WBC was found to be 65.82% and WBC was found to inversely correlate with moisture content.Conclusion:Low-fat content, high mineral content, and balanced amino-acid composition qualify maral meat as a worthy dietary and functional food.

In this paper, a new technology for meatball production is presented. The ingredients in the formulation used are low value parts of poultry meat (neck and back part), rice, sea cabbage (Laminaria) and carrot. Three variants of meatball were prepared with different weight ratios of Laminaria: variant 1 -15%, variant 2 -10% and variant 3 -5%. The comparative quality and Okuskhanova et al.; ARRB, 13(3): 1-9, 2017; Article no.ARRB.33337 2 organoleptic indicators of meatballs are studied. As a result, when compared with the control meatballs, the developed meatballs have soft consistency, a pleasant flavor, better sensory characteristics and balanced composition. The highest level of protein was obtained in variant 2 (19.7%) while the lowest one was determined in the control sample (10.1%). Variant 2 meatball also showed an increased level of mineral elements -3.11%, compared with variant 1 (2.6%) and variant 3 (1.6%). The moisture content of the developed meatballs varied from 67.1% to 69.3% and these values are much higher than in the control sample (61.64%). Also, the developed meatballs show a higher content of fat compared with the control sample. Different proportions of Laminaria in meatball formulations caused significant changes in content of I, Mg, K and Na. The concentrations of these elements were reduced when the Laminaria weight ratio in meatballs was lowered. Using Laminaria demonstrated a positive effect to the food quality of meatball.

The consumer preference for ready-to-eat foods is growing rapidly, it provides many benefits to health care because it is very rich source of dietary fiber, minerals, and amino acids. The present study was to prepare and evaluate the quality of turkey meat pâté made with a high nutritional value protein-herbal supplement containing cereal flours (oat, rice, corn, and buckwheat). The physicochemical characteristics (pH, aw, color, texture, chemical composition), amino acid profile, sensory and quality analysis for turkey meat pâté were investigated. The use of the protein-herbal supplement decreased lightness (L*) and redness (a*) values but intensified the yellowness (b*) of cooked pâtés. The amount of essential amino acids significantly increased compared to the control sample. The protein-herbal supplement which was developed was proved to be very rich source of unsaturated fatty acids: the content of monounsaturated fatty acids increased by 27.8% and polyunsaturated acids by 0.7% in the final pâté.

Advanced research direction for expanding the range of bakery products is the production of dietary salt-free bread, with the addition of food additives of plant and animal origin. This paper presents the formulation of dietary salt free bread. Flax seeds, pollen, curd whey and DVS Bifidus bacteria preparation are used in preparation of bread. The physical and chemical indicators and sensory profile of dietary salt free bread evaluated. Developed dietary salt free bread contains more protein (9.0 g/100g), carbohydrates (53.4 g/100g), fibers (7.0 g/100g) and minerals (2.5 g/100g) compared with traditional wheat bread.

Milk and milk products are in steady demand and included in the daily human diet. This paper describes the technology and the nutritional and biological value of the combined yogurt for dietary nutrition. The pumpkin puree and oat flour are used as functional vegetable ingredients in the yogurt formulation. Developed yogurt contains 2.8% of protein, 2.0% of fat and 15% of carbohydrates. The protein of yogurt consists of all essential and nonessential amino acids with high level of isoleucine (2.27 g/100g), leucine (3.45 g/100g), valine (2.46 g/100g), proline (3.91 g/100g) and glutamic acid (7.30 g/100g). Among fatty acids the larger parts occupies caprylic (27.45%), capric (20.13%) and lauric (20.15%) acids. The yogurt has a sufficient amount of the important vitamins, such as A, E, D, C and B group.

This article presents the results of mathematical calculations of nutritive value of macaroni product enriched with composite mixture. While creating the paste there was developed a composite mixture containing high-grade wheat flour, buckwheat and flax flour, and a characteristic of its biological value was obtained.
