Game meat and high-resolution magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy: a traditional foodstuff versus a novel analysis technology

Abstract

Implications - The inclusion of game meat could diversify the meat market; hence, carcass merit and meat quality parameters must be standardized to ensure consumers’ requirements. - Enhancing both consistency and accuracy on game meat quality parameters implies the implementation of new technologies. - The metabolic profile of game meat obtained by High-Resolution Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HR-MAS NMR) Spectroscopy together with multivariate analysis is a powerful tool to characterize game meats according to the species of origin.
