dc.description.abstractSix different muscles from the left legs of 19 African Black ostriches were analysed for cholesterol content and fatty acid composition. Cholesterol content differed (p<0·05) from 56·61 mg/100g in the M. femorotibialis medius to 71·12mg/100g in the M. iliofemoralis. Although the percentage of individual fatty acids differed (p<0·05) between muscles, and variation were found within muscles, the percentage of total saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids were relatively constant between muscles. The M. iliofemoralis presented a w6:w3 ratio of 5·21, while this characteristic was constant around a mean value of 3·93 in all other muscles. © 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
