o:6480 MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA en This study aimed to provide information on levels of magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in 154 meat samples from six species of animals. Samples (chicken, turkey, pork, lamb, equine and beef meat) were gathered from different meat processing facilities in Serbia during 2023. The levels of macro- (Mg, K, Ca) and micro- (Cu, Zn) elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The highest significant mean content (p < 0.05) of Mg was measured in chicken meat. In terms of K and Ca levels, pork and equine meat had the highest values, respectively, and there were no significant differences between other meat species. Equine meat had the highest significant mean levels of Cu while the significantly highest Zn levels were determined in beef meat. The distribution of the elements in meat samples was examined by applying principal component analysis (PCA). macro- elements, micro-elements, 2024-12-11T09:23:44.521Z 44 yes 46 Jasna Djinović-Stojanović Institute of Meat Hygiene and Technology MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4602-0835 Saša Janković Institute of Meat Hygiene and Technology MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA person 0000-0002-5223-6993 Ivana Branković-Lazić Institute of Meat Hygiene and Technology MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA person https://orcid.org/0009-0005-5844-9278 Danijela Vranić Institute of Meat Hygiene and Technology, Kaćanskog 13, 11 00 Belgrade, Serbia MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA person https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7192-488X Jelena Babić-Milijašević Institute of meat hygiene and technology MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA person https://orcid.org/0009-0003-8923-7046 Munevera Begić Faculty of Agriculture and Food Science, University of Sarajevo, Zmaja od Bosne 8, 71000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA person https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9425-8568 Vesna Djordjević Institute of Meat Hygiene and Technology MINERAL COMPOSITION OF MEAT FROM DIFFERENT SPECIES OF ANIMALS FROM SERBIA person https://orcid.org/0009-0008-5187-4089 2024-10 application/pdf 33816 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:6480 no yes 1 70 12 1068391 1552260 71A01 Book of abstract - From hidden threats to innovative assets - transformative capacity of agrifood system Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina 2024-10
