Alimentos ricos em gorduras saturadas, como as carnes, contribuem para o aumento da incidência de obesidade e problemas cardiovasculares, comuns na população brasileira. A carne moída comercializada na maioria dos supermercados é encontrada com diferenças de qualidade e preço, variando, de mesma forma, os seus teores de gordura. O Ministério da Agricultura (DIPOA), fixa como o máximo teor de gordura da carne moída em 15%. O presente trabalho avaliou diferentes tipos de carne moída e os seus teores de gordura em uma rede de supermercados existente no município de Curitiba, Paraná. Constataram-se diferenças significativas (P<0,05) no teor de gordura entre os tipos de carne moída comercializada. A carne de segunda foi a que contribuiu com maior teor de gordura (7,94%), seguido da carne de primeira (5,85%). As carnes moídas a pedido do cliente, como o patinho e alcatra, foram as que apresentaram menores teores de gordura (3,43% e 2,83%, respectivamente), não diferindo entre si.
Evaluation of the fat levels in minced meat marketed at supermarkets
Abstract
Meats with a high level of saturated fats, contribute to the increase of the obesity incidence and cardiovascular problems in the Brazilian population. The minced meat marketed in most of the supermarkets is found with differences of quality and price, varying, in the same way, its fat levels. The Brazilian Agriculture Ministry - DIPOA, through its Annex II, regulates at 15% as the maximum fat level in minced meat. The present work evaluated different types of minced meat and its fat levels in supermarkets from the district of Curitiba, Paraná. Significant differences in the fat level were verified (P<0.05) among the types of marketed minced meat. The second-class minced meat had the largest fat level (7.94%), followed by the meat of first-class (5.85%). The minced meat requested from customers, such as the beef leg and rump steak, had smaller fat levels (3.43% and 2.83%, respectively), not differing from each other but inferior to the others.
