title: [Fatty acid content of the lipid fraction of the meat from deer and roe deer].
abstract: Investigations were carried out on musculus longissimus dorsi as sampled from 8 deer, weighing 90 to 120 kg, and from 10 fallow deer, weighing 25 to 35 kg, hunted in the autumn-winter season of 1983-1984. Fatty acid determination was performed via gas chromatograph Pye Unicam, model 104, supplied with a flame-ionization detector. It was found that the average content of fatty acids in the lipid fraction of m. longissimus dorsi from deer in percent to the total amount of fatty acids was 1.82% for myristic acid, 0.21% for tetradecenic acid, 30.17% for palmitic acid, 1.88% for palmitoleic acid, 19.42% for stearic acid, 43.18% for oleic acid, 3.32% for linoleic acid, while the ratio between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids had a numerical value of 1.06. With fallow deer the average amount of fatty acids in the lipid fraction of m. longissimus dorsi in percent to the total amount of fatty acids these figures were 3.46, 0.59, 30.48, 2.44, 20.15, 40.41, 2.47%, and 1.18, respectively. With both species of animals traces were also found of linolenic and arachidonic acids.
