“…Macroelement content in meat products Canned meat occupies an important place in the diet of members of the Serbian Armed Forces. Canned products are of high quality, with preserved nutritional and energy values, sensory properties, and shelf life of at least four years (Stojanović et al, 2021). The content of macroelements during the storage period from one month (m) to six years (y) is shown in Table 1.…”

“…Cylindrical tinplate cans were used for filling the canned meat products: 1) two-piece cans, Ø 73×29.5, for LP of 100 g; 2) three-piece cans, Ø 73/70×43, for SP of 150 g, and 3) three-piece cans, Ø 99/96×63, for BG, PR, and MB of 400 g. The tinplate quality was corresponding to the European standards, with additional requirements related to the thickness of the sheet, the tin's application, and the application and quality of the varnish (Stojanović et al, 2021). The canned food was produced according to military requirements.…”

“…Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), with the iCapQ mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Germany), was used for macroelement analysis, as described in our previous work (Stojanović et al, 2021). All samples were measured in duplicate, and metal content was presented as an average.…”

Macroelements such as Na, K, Ca, and Mg play a significant physiological role, and their inadequate intake has been linked to severe diseases, such as high blood pressure. Data on risk assessment for human health in Serbia, from the intake of these macroelements through the consumption of canned food, are minimal. Therefore, the content of Na, K, Ca, and Mg in five types of canned meat that members of the Serbian Armed Forces regularly use was examined. Macroelements were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in cans of beef goulash, pork ragout, spam, liver pate, and meatballs in tomato sauce, which were stored from one month to six years. The sodium content was significantly higher than the potassium content in all types of food, so the Na/K ratio below 1, desirable for good health, was not found in any of the analyzed products. Also, a significant number of samples had an unfavorable Ca/Mg ratio above 1. However, due to the low consumption of canned food by members of the Serbian Armed Forces, its contribution to the average daily intake of macroelements is almost negligible. The concentration of macroelements decreased with the shelf life, while a significant source of Ka and Mg, among analyzed ingredients, was ground red pepper.
