Abstract
The consumer demand for healthy and natural products lead to the increased interest of consuming mountain food products. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physical-chemical and sensory characteristics of 8 dairy products and 11 meat products collected from different mountainous pastures from Romania. The protein content of dairy products varied between 37.39-47.90% d.m., while the fat content ranged between 43.63-49.57% d.m. For meat products, the protein content and fat content ranged between 11.69-70.07% d.m., and 17.58-95.92 % d.m., respectively. The fatty acid composition of mountain products was influenced by the pasture location, a better PUFA content being determined for products obtained from farms situated at a higher altitude. This research highlights that the quality of mountain products is strongly influenced by the pasture effects, the type of product analyzed and the technological process.
