After the fat is removed, the lamb will not have such a strong smell. In our daily life, we mostly eat sheep meat and goats. Stir-fried vegetables, shabu little fat sheep.

Goats are more popular in Guangdong, and sheep are generally grilled or eaten on lamb skewers.

    The smell of mutton is actually caused by the special digestive system of sheep.

    Sheep are ruminants and have a total of four stomachs, the rumen of which contains a large number of microorganisms for the initial digestion of lipids. In the process of microbial digestion, some volatile fatty acids will be produced, which will be absorbed and integrated into the fat of the sheep, which is the taste of mutton.

    Factors that affect the size of mutton.

    Smell is a characteristic of lamb, but its size is affected by many factors, such as breed, age, gender, location and feeding.

    1. For age and gender, generally speaking, the smell of lamb is far less than that of old sheep, and the smell of ewes is smaller than that of rams.

    2. The influence of varieties and parts is more complex. For breeds, goats have a greater smell and goats have a heavier flavor than sheep. Generally, the smell of Tan sheep is smaller, and the smell of the same sheep and small-tailed Han sheep is heavier. As for the parts, the smell of meat on the waist and buttocks is generally heavier.

    3. For feeding, the sheep fed in the grain house will be more fat than the sheep fed in the grazing or grass-fed. Some sheep eat wild grass and wild Chinese medicine, like most wild goats, and the sheep raised by herdsmen in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Ningxia have a greater smell. Some eat grass for three months, eat grains for three months to fatten and be slaughtered, just like people, eat more miscellaneous, and the smell is naturally smaller.

    For example, Ningxia Tan mutton is basically odorless, because the alkaline vegetation and water sources bred by saline soil can affect the meat quality of mutton. Therefore, a good geological soil and breeding environment are very important.

    The smell of mutton is also hidden in the fat between the meats. According to the classic double-blind experiment, mutton and pork with most of the fat removed are tasted at the same time, and many people cannot tell the difference; Mixing mutton fat with pork, diners agree that they are eating mutton (which is also the way some unscrupulous traders make fake mutton).

    Further research has found that some branched-chain fatty acids contained in lanolin may be the culprits of the smell, especially in the field.

    4-Methylcaprylic acid plays a major role in the special flavor of mutton.

    The production of these branched-chain fatty acids may be due to the unique digestive system of sheep. As a ruminant, sheep have four stomachs, in the first stomach - the rumen, there are a large number of microorganisms, the lipids contained in the plants ingested by sheep are interpreted into fatty acids and glycerol by water with the participation of these microorganisms, and some of the branched-chain fatty acids are finally absorbed and deposited in the body of the sheep by the small intestine.

    In fact, 4-methylcaprylic acid is not unique to sheep: cattle that are also ruminants naturally synthesize 4-methylcaprylic acid, and even many fruits such as apples and strawberries also have their traces, and the slight milky aroma of some strawberries is the effect of this substance. However, when the content of 4-methylcaprylic acid is too high, this aroma is masked by the smell, which is the basic principle of mutton fat.

    Sheep fat contains some fatty acids, which are the main cause of odor. As a ruminant, sheep has a large number of microorganisms in its rumen that react with lipids in ingested food to form fatty acids and glycerol.

    Among them, 4-methylcaprylic acid and 4-methylnonanoic acid in fatty acids are the main substances that cause sheep smell, and the higher the proportion of such substances in sheep, the heavier the smell, and accumulate in the sheep body to form a smell.

    If there is a way to remove the fat from beef, pork, and mutton before cooking, then the meat will taste basically the same in flavor, except for the difference in taste caused by the thickness of muscle fibers. In the ** mentioned later, there are also scientific researchers who mix mutton fat extract into pork, and finally found that pork can also have a strong mutton smell.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-23

    The smell of mutton mainly comes from a type of volatile fatty liver contained in meat fat, such as lanolic acid, lanolic acid, capric acid, etc. These fatty acids are mainly found in sheep tail fat, subcutaneous fat, sheep skin sebaceous gland secretion, as well as fat in the muscle space. Pork, lamb and other meats also contain similar fatty acids, but only in lamb does the content of these fatty acids present a special ratio, combined into a stable complex, which forms a characteristic smell.

    The smell does not determine the quality of lamb.

    In fact, the statement that the more fat the mutton, the better it is, is wrong, and good mutton has almost no smell. First of all, this special flavor has a lot to do with the time it is raised. The raising time is much shorter, and the special taste will be much lighter.

    Secondly, it also has a lot to do with the practice, if you go to northern Xinjiang to eat mutton skewers, you will find that their meat is not fat, in addition to the good mutton, it also has a lot to do with pickling. Their lamb is marinated in onion water, eggs and cumin, and in addition to being sweet and sweet, the egg liquid wrapping the lamb also allows the lamb to retain more of the juice inside.

    There are several places where lamb is famous:

    Xinjiang, Ningxia, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia.

    The mutton from Xinjiang and Qinghai has a slight smell and is not specialized.

    Ningxia and Inner Mongolia have no smell.

    Mutton from Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia has a slight milky aroma.

    A search for the more famous landmark mutton in Ningxia and Inner Mongolia or the mutton that has been on the tip of the tongue on the Chinese show can solve your needs.

    The mutton flavor is too strong, which inevitably affects its deliciousness, and most people don't like it. Therefore, the smell level of mutton has become a major factor in judging the quality of mutton.

    People who love lamb prefer the taste of mutton to the taste of mutton. They say that the stronger the flavor of the lamb, the better it tastes. Those don't know why.

    A good lamb should only have a mutton flavor and no mutton flavor. Maybe some friends are discouraged by the smell of lamb. In fact, the smell of a really good quality lamb is actually very small.

    Of course, it's not the same as good or bad food, and the smell doesn't mean lamb is bad.

    Hello, mutton is originally fat. But some people like this smell and some people don't like it, just like the smell of stinky tofu, some people like it and some people don't like it. If you like the smell, if the mutton does not have a smell, it is not enough to eat it.

    The smell of mutton is related to the way of feeding, the smell of pure grazing sheep is large, and the smell of feed fattening sheep is small. Nowadays, in order to sell more sheep in many pastoral areas, they will also concentrate on fattening for a period of time before selling, so that the smell is greatly reduced. There are very few commercial sheep that have been raised for several years and then sold, almost all of them are lambs that were sold that year, that is, sheep that year, and the smell of sheep is not so strong.
