Abstract

Fatty acid composition and function evaluation of muscle of Qinghai yak calf were analyzed by comparing with adult yak. Meat fat was separated and the fatty acid composition could be measured by gas chromatograph after esterification,using fatty acid methyl ester as standard. The results demonstrated that the MUFA and PUFA of Qinghai yak calf(32.38%,11.59%)were significantly higher than adult yak(P0.01)and the contents of oleic acid,linoleic acid(29.52%,5.72%)were especially high,but SFA of calf yak(53.54%)was remarkably lower than adult yak(61.04%),(P0.05). Both PUFA/SFA and n-6/n-3(0.98%,0.22%)were significantly higher than adult yak(P0.01). The results indicated that Qinghai calf yak had high nutritional value,more balance and the important meaning to the development of yak calf,breeding of yak,deep processing.
