Popis: The influence of muscle on the physicochemical characteristics, proximate analysis, and mineral composition of meat from 10 ostriches (10–12 months old), slaughtered according to commercial abattoir procedures, were evaluated. Muscle had no influence (p > 0.05) on L*-values (32.5), a*-values (11.9), waterholding capacity (11.9%), final pH (pH24) values (6.07), and ash contents (1.12 g/100 g edible meat). However, intramuscular lipid contents varied (p < 0.05) from 0.88 (M. fibularis longus) to 1.44 (M. flexor cruris lateralis) g/100 g edible meat, at a mean value of 1.16 g/100 g edible meat for 10 different muscles. Sodium (34.7 mg/100 g edible meat) and iron (3.14 mg/100 g edible meat) contents, both influenced (p < 0.05) by muscle, possessed substantially lower and higher values, respectively, than values reported for beef and chicken.
