The following chemical constituents were measured in the ground
and thawed samples of meat according to official methods of analysis
of the AOAC (2003): moisture content by the oven-drying of 2 g samples
at 102 °C to a constant weight (950.46B, see p.39.1.02); crude
protein content by the classical macro-Kjeldahl method (981.10 see
p. 39.1.19); and intramuscular fat content by petroleum ether extraction
using a Soxhlet apparatus (960.39 (a), see 39.1.05).
