Abstract:
Chemically, goat meat had significantly (P < 0·05) less intramuscular fat and significantly (P < 0·001) more moisture than lamb. The sarcoplasmic protein concentration of the goat meat was significantly (P < 0·001) greater than that of lamb while the myofibrillar protein concentration was similar in the two species. Goat meat was darker red in colour than lamb. It had significantly (P < 0·001) superior water-holding capacity and less cooking losses than lamb. Meat flavour was significantly (P < 0·05) less strong in goat meat than in lamb.
