Abstract:
Wild boar meat has well balanced with nutrients
and comprised with unique sensory attributes and meat
quality parameters, however, limited information and
studies have been performed on nutritional quality and meat
quality parameters. The proximate composition of wild boar
meat, mainly protein and fat contents were ranged at 21.6-
24.11% and 2.27-2.62% respectively. The composition of
fatty acids in wild boar has obtained higher values for
unsaturated fatty acids particularly mono unsaturated fatty
acids; nonetheless, investigation on availability of essential
amino acids was scarce. Wild boar meat was darker colour,
less tender and pH ranged at 5.44-5.71. Further,
sophisticated studies will promote the consumption rate of
wild boar meat among consumers that ultimately provide an
opportunity to industries to enhance their production.
