The study aimed to comparatively examine meats in terms of chemical composition originating from beef, lamb, chicken, and rabbit consumed in Türkiye and to reveal their superior aspects compared to each other and also to determine the place of rabbit meat, which is not commonly consumed among other meats. As material of the study 48 meat samples were used, 12 from each of the beef, lamb, chicken, and rabbit species provided that each of them belonged to a different animal. Moisture, ash, crude protein, and crude fat levels of the meat samples were compared between meat sources. The highest value in terms of fat and ash ratio were determined in lamb meat (P<0.001). Chicken meat had the highest protein ratio. Rabbit and lamb meats were followed, respectively (P<0.001). In terms of moisture beef meat had the highest values and there was no significant differences between other source of meat. In conclusion, as rabbit meat had higher protein ratio and lower fat ratio compared with other meat sources, it would be beneficial to expand the production and consumption. Chicken meat was advised to include in diets of patients suffering from obesity or cardio-vasculer diseases because of the highest protein and lower fat content. Lamb meat should be an indispensable part of diets due to its rich ash content. As the highest moisture content beef it could be preferred for making different kinds of meat by-products and consumed by the majority of people.

Black cumin or Nigella sativa L. is a medicinal plant of the Ranunculaceae family that has enormous importance. It has traditionally been used to cure a lot of diseases since ancient times. In the current study, the effects of different auxins on callus induction and subsequent somatic embryo formation of N. sativa L. cv. Black Diamond were examined. The best result of callus induction was observed when cotyledon explants were incubated in a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L−1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The formation of somatic embryos was achieved efficiently from cotyledon-derived calli cultured on a 2 mg L−1 Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)-containing medium. Furthermore, histological analysis of embryogenic calli was used to detect the presence of different developmental stages of somatic embryos. In contrast to the calli and embryos of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’, which initiated in the dark, light was necessary for the complete differentiation of callus and embryo cultures into shoots/developed plants. Hypocotyl-derived calli and embryos were successfully differentiated on IBA at 2.0, 1.0 mg L−1, and NAA at 2.0 mg L−1. To the best of our knowledge, this work can be considered the first report on the differentiation of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’ somatic embryos into developed plants. Moreover, the metabolic profiles of secondary products of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’ callus and embryo cultures originated from the best auxin treatments identified and were compared with that of intact seeds. Callus cultures of N. sativa ‘Black Diamond’ contained thymoquinone (TQ) in a significant percentage of the peak area (2.76%). Therefore, callus cultures could be used as a perfect alternative source of TQ for pharmaceutical and therapeutic purposes. In addition, fatty acids and/or their esters were recorded as the major components in callus and embryo cultures. These vital compounds could be isolated and used for numerous industrial applications.
