Normative ruling 32/2010 of the Ministry of Agricultural, Livestock and Food Supply – Mapa: Ratio moisture/protein contents in poultry cuts

The Self-Program and the Program for Prevention and Control of Water Addition Products - PPCAAP aims to assess the moisture content in poultry cuts. This work aims to study the text of the law and the interpretation of data and the results obtained. It was observed that in breast samples without bones and skin results were satisfactory and remain within the limits established by legislation, while in breast samples with bone and skin, although the results obtained are within the interval limits of confidence this sample, the values obtained for moisture obey a normal curve, while the values obtained for proteins since they do not, a fact that may be associated with the grinding of the meat with bones at the time of analysis, raising levels protein in the samples. It follows that it is necessary to revise Instruction 32/2010 for a description of the methodology for quantification of proteins and humidity more specifically as regards the type of material used and detailed manner how the sample is processed for later analysis
