Abstract

Present study was conducted to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics of meat and edible offals (liver and heart) of local breeds of cattle. The samples of cattle meat and edible offals (liver and heart) each of 20 randomly collected from the local market of Hyderabad The samples of meat and offals were examined for pH, water holding capacity, cooking loss, drip loss, moisture, protein fat and ash at the Department of Animal Products Technology, Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam. The average pH (6.02±0.01), water holding capacity (24.90±0.18%), cooking loss (36.85±0.24%),   and drip loss (3.05±0.02%) were found significantly high (P<0.05) in liver than that of muscle tissue (5.74±0.03, 23.61±0.42%, 32.77±0.65% and 1.95±0.16%, respectively) and heart (5.62±0.3, 20.86±0.29%, 30.65±0.26% and 1.69±0.13%, respectively) of the cattle. The average moisture content (75.68±0.22%) was significantly higher (P<0.05) in heart of cattle, followed by the muscle tissue (74.54±0.32%) and liver (71.94±0.11%). While the protein content in muscle tissue (20.65±0.13%) was found comparatively higher (P<0.05) followed by heart (19.89±17%) and liver (19.18±0.19%). The average fat content (6.04±0.13%) in liver was remarkably (P<0.05) higher than that of heart (3.01±0.02%) and muscle tissue (2.57±0.09%). The average ash content (1.25±0.006) of liver was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of muscle tissue (1.15±0.03%) and heart (1.08±0.05%). It is concluded that the muscle meat of cattle consumed at Hyderabad city was high in Protein content whereas low WHC, drip loss, cooking loss and pH indicated low quality in the term of palatability. While high level of fat in edible offals (liver and heart) support them as energetic and palatable products for consumption.
