Changes of the Physico-chemical Characteristics of Venison Extracts during Chilling Storage

냉장중 사슴육 증탕액의 이화학적 특성의 변화

This experiment was carried out to investigate the changes in pH, proximate composition, pH, VBN, TBA, minerals, and fatty acid of venison extracts, from three slaughtered deers with 180~210 kg live weight (♀, Elk deer, 28~30 months of age) at 4$^{\circ}C$. Proximate composition was not affected by storage periods. The pH, VBN, and TBA ranged from 4.60~4.62, 13.52~15.75 mg%, and 0.20~0/81mg/kg. respectively. The pH, VBN, and TBA gradually increased during storage period (p<0.050. Among minerals, K, P, Na, Mg, and Ca were major mineral contents and the Ca, mg, Na contents significantly decreased (p<0.05) according to the storage period. The major fatty acid found in venison extracts were oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid. Oleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid decreased during storage, but palmitic acid, heptadeanonic acid, and stearic acid increased during the storage. U/S (unsalturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid) ratio tended to decrease during the storage.
