The quality of game meat is significantly influenced by the way in which the animal is treated after killing. The recommended way of treating mallard ducks is complete evisceration of the organs of the body cavity. The hygiene quality of meat may be assessed on the basis of changes in biogenic amine concentrations, an increase … [Read more…]
Biogenic amines are found in a large number of foodstuffs. Ingestion of a large quantity of biogenic amines in food may produce negative toxic symptoms in humans. Biogenic amine concentrations in meat are associated with the proliferation of contaminating microorganisms. An increasing concentration of biogenic amines serves as an indicator of the deteriorating hygiene quality … [Read more…]
Biogenic amines are a natural component of living organisms, though in foodstuffs they are primarily indicators of the degradation of proteins. Their formation in meat is frequently seen in connection with the action of contaminating microorganisms during food storage. This study focuses on the influence of various conditions, intravital factors (slaughtered or hunted pheasants) and … [Read more…]
