Abstract

The proximate composition, amino acid composition and mineral composition of three different muscles from the legs of seven ostriches were determined. Results indicated that components analyzed remained relatively constant between different muscles. Ostrich meat is characterized by an extremely low intramuscular fat content. Values for water, protein, ash, amino acid and mineral contents are in agreement with values obtained for beef and chicken.
