“…However, Fe concentration from this study was nearly 50% lower than that reported from Russian reindeer, Arctic Canadian and US caribou [21,25,26]. The highest Fe concentration of 4.6 mg/100 g measured in this study agreed well with that newly reported from a Norwegian study on reindeer meat by Triumf and colleagues [24]. Zinc concentration detected in the present study was in agreement with that previously reported from Norway and nearly two times higher than values reported from Greenlandic reindeer, Arctic Canadian and US caribou [2,21,25,27].…”

Selected Vitamins and Essential Elements in Meat from Semi-Domesticated Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) in Mid- and Northern Norway: Geographical Variations and Effect of Animal Population Density

2012

Meat samples (n = 100) were collected from semi-domesticated reindeer originating from 10 grazing districts in Norway. We aimed at studying concentrations, correlations, geographical variations and the effect of animal population density on vitamins A, B3, B7, B12 and E, and calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, chromium and cobalt. Mean concentrations of vitamins A, B3, B7; B12 and E were <5 µg, 6.6 mg, <0.5 µg, 4.7 µg and 0.5 mg/100 g wet weight, respectively. Concentrations of calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, chromium and cobalt were 4.7 mg, 2.8 mg, 6.4 mg, 19.4 µg, 1.7 µg and 0.5 µg/100 g wet weight, respectively. Vitamin E and selenium were the nutrients that exhibited the largest geographical variations (p < 0.05), although no geographical gradient was observed for any of the studied nutrients. Age had a significant effect on zinc and selenium concentrations. Iron was significantly positive correlated with calcium (r = 0.3416, p < 0.01) and vitamin B12 with zinc (r = 0.35, p < 0.05). Reindeer from districts with low animal population density had significantly higher selenium concentration than those from districts with medium and high population densities (p < 0.01). Reindeer meat contained higher vitamin B12, iron, zinc and selenium concentrations when compared to Norwegian beef, lamb, mutton, pork and chicken meat.

“…Concentration of vitamin E (α-tocopherol) detected in the present study (0.5 mg/100 g) was comparable to that previously reported in reindeer meat from Norway and Sweden, lower than that of 0.84 mg/100 g reported from Finland and higher than that of 0.15 mg/100 g reported from Arctic Canada [2,18,19,20,24]. …”

“…In contrary, in our experiment, the raw material was obtained from young animals (calves) at different ages (6–12 months), which may explain a relative big variation between the groups and the lower ARP capacity compared with earlier results . Higher ARP values in meat from adults than from calves, probably due to the longer grazing period, were also reported by Triumf et al Neither packaging methods nor storage time influenced the free radical scavenger activity of reindeer meat, which confirms the efficient packaging and oxidative stability of reindeer meat.…”

“…The lack of evident differences in the meat colour evaluated by the panel may be due to the dark and intense colour of the reindeer meat compared with beef, as differences due to the packaging method were detected in instrumental measurements of the colour. Furthermore, the age of the reindeer calves varied (6–12 months), and the colour of the reindeer meat is also depending on the age …”

The impact of different packaging methods [vacuum, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) (60% CO2 and 40% N2) and MAP + CO2 emitter] on the quality of fresh reindeer meat (M. semimembranosus) stored at 4°C for 21 days was investigated. Colour and odour of the meat, drip loss, pH, microbial content, antioxidant capacity and cooking loss were measured. The MAP + CO2 emitter resulted in prolonged microbial shelf life compared with vacuum and MAP without CO2 emitter as lower level of total viable counts was detected after 13 and 17 days. Samples stored with CO2 emitter also had lower drip loss. Samples stored in vacuum had significant lower L*‐value, higher a*‐value and lower intensity of freshness (odour and colour) compared with those stored in MAP and MAP with CO2 emitter. However, MAP with a gas‐to‐product volume ratio of 1 : 1 seems to be too low in quality preserving. Increased partial pressure by adding a CO2 emitter improved bacterial inhibition compared with vacuum and traditional MAP. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
