RESEARCHES ON THE CHARACTERIZATION OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF REFRIGERATED MEAT FROM WILD BOAR SAMPLED FROM THE N-E PART OF ROMANIA

ncreased attractiveness for hunting sports related to media continues and intense coverage requires a scientific argument in terms of quality for the exclusivity of this source of protein. The specific features of game meat are a direct consequence of its morphological and physic-chemical peculiarities, which is in close correlation with the wild part of cohabitation. This work aims, is to analyze the data by the intrinsic value of wild boar meat, harvested by shooting in the N- E parts of Romania. Meat samples, collected from different muscle regions were subjected to determine the chemical composition (protein, fat, water, and collagen). Postharvest pH evolution of meat was determined at 2o C in refrigerated conditions of biological material. The physical and chemical studied parameters showed a higher nutritive-biological value (22,2% proteins in. longissimus dorsi muscle) compared to the one obtained from domestic animals, related with a minimum content in total fat, fact that places this raw material as a value alternative protein in human nutritio
