of Meat

9. Meat consists of water protein and fat, with a few
minerals and some B vitamins.
1. Protein – high-quality protein is the major
constituent of meat after water, accounting for about
20 percent of its weight. Meat consists 7 grams of
protein per ounce
2. Fat – content can vary widely, according to the
grade of meat and its cut.

10. 3. Carbohydrates – meat contains very little
carbohydrates. Glycogen, found in liver and
muscle tissue, is present when the animal is
alive, but the glucose that make up the
glycogen is broken down to lactic acid
during and after slaughter

11. 4. Vitamins – meat is an excellent source of
certain B vitamins — thiamin (B), riboflavin
(B²), pyridoxine (B⁶), cobalamin (B¹²), and
some folate. Niacin is obtained from
tryptophan, an amino acid plentiful in meats
and milk.

20. Marinades
Good marinades will add flavor to your favorite meat
and make it more tender and juicy. Making a
marinade is very simple. All you need are three basic
components. The first is an acid, such as lemon juice,
vinegar, yogurt, or wine. The acid is important as it
breaks down the meat and tenderize it. The second is
oil. This protects and preserves the food while
marinated and also when its being cooked.

21. The third is any herb and/or spice. This is what gives a marinade its unique
flavor and zest. Feel free to experiment by grouping one or more
ingredients from each component.
Here are some general guidelines for marinating:
• Meat and poultry are generally marinated for 2 hours up to 2 days.
• Seafood and fish should be marinated for no loner than one hour.
• Use a non-reactive container steer clear of aluminum, copper, or cast iron.
• Wait for your marinade to cool down before pouring over the meat of
your choice.
• Always refrigerate your meat while its marinating
• Never reuse marinades!

Meat
1. It tenderizes
connective tissue
if moisture is
present and
cooking is slow.

protein. Even meats
low in connective
tissue can be tough
and dry if cooked at
excessively high heats
for too long.

24. 3. High heat
toughness and
shrinks protein and
result in excessive
moisture lost.

25. 4. Roast cooked at low
temperature shrink less and
loss less moisture.
5. Moist heat penetrates
meat quickly. To avoid over
cooking, meat should be
simmered, never boiled
