ВЕТЕРИНАРНО-САНИТАРНАЯ ЭКСПЕРТИЗА МЯСА СИБИРСКОЙ КОСУЛИ (СAPREOLUS PYGARGUS (PALLAS, 1771) И СЕВЕРНОГО ОЛЕНЯ (RANGIFER TARANDUS) ЯКУТИИ
The objective of research is to conduct an examination of the meat of Siberian roe deer and reindeer to identify possible threats to human health, to determine the suitability of roe deer and venison for human consumption in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents. Objectives: to study the organoleptic properties of roe deer and venison; to conduct microscopic, physicochemical studies of meat; to conduct a luminescent analysis; to study the radioactive background of meat; to determine the content of nitrates in meat samples. Based on the results of laboratory studies, it was established that, according to organoleptic properties, roe deer and reindeer meat belongs to the fresh category. Roe deer meat has a bright red drying crust, the structure of muscle fibers is thin, bright red, reindeer meat has a dark red drying crust, muscle fibers are dark red. Each type of meat has a certain specific smell and taste. In physicochemical studies (by reaction with copper sulfate, peroxidase, Nessler reagent, pH value), roe deer and venison meat were classified as fresh and corresponded to the indicators of healthy animals. The data of luminescent and bacterioscopic analysis also indicate the freshness and safety of meat samples. The value of the radiation background of roe deer meat is 0.17 μSv/h, venison – 0.4 μSv/h with a norm of 0.5 μSv/h. The content of nitrates is within the standardized indicators: roe deer meat – 192 mg/kg; venison – 152 mg/kg (MPC – 200 mg/kg). The conducted veterinary and sanitary studies indicate the freshness and good quality of roe deer and venison meat samples, which allows people to eat meat without restrictions.
