ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate microbial, chemical, and heavy metal contamination of mechanically deboned chicken (MDC) in Iran. A total of 24 samples of MDC were obtained from meat plants. TBC of the three samples were acceptable. E. coli and S. aureus were detected in 21 and 6 samples, respectively. Three of the samples were contaminated with Salmonella spp. Campylobacter was not detected in any of the samples. The moisture content of MDC was in the range of 41% to 75%. Ash had a range of 0.74% to 1.4%. The maximum protein content of the MDC was 21.98% and fat content was in the range of 2.1% to 20%. The highest PV was 15.18 mEq/kg. All of the samples were polluted with Pb, Cd, and As. In conclusion, MDC had microbial and chemical contamination. It is necessary to develop more strict criteria for control of the chicken paste processing method.

摘要

本研究旨在调查伊朗机械去骨鸡 (MDC) 的微生物、化学和重金属污染。从肉类植物中获得了总共 24 个 MDC 样品。三个样品的 TBC 是可以接受的。分别在 21 个和 6 个样本中检测到大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌。其中三个样品被沙门氏菌污染。弯曲杆菌在任何样品中均未检测到。MDC 的水分含量在 41% 到 75% 的范围内。灰分的范围为 0.74% 至 1.4%。MDC的最大蛋白质含量为21.98%，脂肪含量在2.1%~20%之间。最高 PV 为 15.18 mEq/kg。所有样品均被 Pb、Cd 和 As 污染。总之，MDC 有微生物和化学污染。有必要制定更严格的鸡酱加工方法控制标准。
