Nutritive and Biological Value of Liver and Blood of Various Slaughtered Animals

Abstract: Offal, such as liver, heart, tongue, kidneys, blood, skin, bone, etc., represents an essential source of protein, vitamin and mineral elements. The present study is an attempt at determining the amino acid composition of horse and beef liver and blood. In general, horse liver was to be a good source of protein (25.06%) compared with beef liver (17.4%). The moisture (74.9%) and fat (3.8) contents were significantly higher (p<0.05) in beef liver, while the ash content of the horse liver was 1.42% compared to 1.3… Show more

“…Results acquired in this study are similar to those reported by Kakimov et al [33], who determined the proximate composition of beef liver, but with higher ash and lower carbohydrate contents (1.8% and 0.60%, respectively). Lower values of fat, moisture, and carbohydrate contents were also found by these authors in horse liver, while the protein content was higher (2.62%, 70.9%, 25.1%, and 0.02%, respectively).…”

“…On the contrary, the highest TPC was found for the liver (121.38 and 140.55 mg GAE/100 g FW for chestnut and commercial feed pigs, respectively). This greater presence of phenolic compounds in liver compared to the muscle tissue could be similar to what occurs with other nutrients, since, for instance, the liver contains important amounts of some vitamins such as retinol (Vitamin A), riboflavin (Vitamin B 2 ), niacin (Vitamin B 3 ), pyridoxine (Vitamin B 6 ), folacin (Vitamin B 9 ), cobalamin (Vitamin B 12 ), ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and tocopherol (Vitamin E) [ 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].…”

“…In spite of that, the antioxidant capacities obtained for the muscles analyzed ( Longissimus thoracis et lumborum , Psoas major , and Biceps femoris ) were very similar to each other, with the greatest difference being found between the muscles and the liver. In this sense, the liver showed antioxidant capacity values much higher than those observed in the muscle tissue in both feedings, which could be due to the liver having interesting amounts of compounds such as vitamins [ 66 , 67 ]. Specifically, for the DPPH analysis, the values showed for the muscles were between 85.77–97.55 µg TE/g FW for the pigs fed chestnut and between 124.23–131.78 µg TE/g FW for pigs fed commercial feed, with the lowest value corresponding to Longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle in both diets.…”

“…However there is still few studies on postmortem changes in beef lungs due to pH, color, and drip loss. The studies in beef liver related to microbiology (Shelef, 1975;Devatkal & Mendiratta, 2006;Hemmat et al, 2013;Alexanyan et al, 2014), nutrition (Li et al, 2014;Kakimov et al, 2018;Biel et al, 2019), and chemical changes (Custódio et al, 2016;Alexanyan et al ,2014) are many recorded. The studies on pH of beef liver had been reported from the abattoir and transported in cool box (<7 ºC) to the laboratory within 3 hours.…”
