| description | <p>The lipid analysis of commercial lamb's meat, from two main Moroccan production areas Middle
Atlas and highlands of eastern Morocco, was conducted. This study concerns the lipid quality
of sheep meat from Beni Guil (BG) and Timahdite (Ti) as indigenous breeds and that of the
Ouled Djellal (ODj) breed of Algerian origin. To study the effect of the geographical area, the
meat samples from the Beni Guil breed were taken in the two main locations of this breed: in the
region of Ain Beni Mathar (BGA) and that of Tendrara (BGT). The fatty acid profiles of the sheep
meats analyzed showed the following: (i) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) richness was of 12.87 % and
20.59 % respectively for BGA and BGT breeds; (ii) polyunsaturated <span class="inline-formula">∕</span> saturated fatty acid ratios
were ranged between 0.28 to 0.50 respectively for BGA and Ti breed; and (iii) PUFA-<span class="inline-formula"><i>n</i>−3</span> content was
1.71 % for ODj breed and 2.13 % for BGA. Thus, the PUFA-<span class="inline-formula"><i>n</i>−6</span> <span class="inline-formula">∕</span> PUFA <span class="inline-formula"><i>n</i>−3</span> ratios range between 4.92
and 9.6 for BGA and Ti sheep meat, respectively. The cholesterol content was 0.08 % and 0.12 %
of fresh meat respectively for ODj and BGA. Finally, meats of BGA and ODj have similar
thrombogenicity (1.23 and 1.27 respectively) and atherogenicity indices (0.71 and 0.68
respectively). Statistically, these values were significantly higher than those registered for Ti
breed (IT: 1.04 and AI: 0.51). In conclusion, from a nutritional point of view, it can be deduced
that these meats have an interesting lipid quality due to their richness in desirable fatty acid
(UFA <span class="inline-formula">+</span> C18 : 0).</p> |
