Abstract
Because of specific breeds and conditions of rearing slovenian beef meat differs in composition and quality from beef in other countries. Calculation of beef meat energy values and nutritive quality from data in foreign sources is not accurate and can be misleading. The aim of the research is to investigate systematicaly the composition and nutritive value of slovenian beef meat of different breeds, age categories, sexes, quality market grades and quality categories. Chemical composition, energy value, fatty-acid composition of lipids, the cholesterol and purines contents and mineral composition will be analysed on the chosen pieces of meat. The influence of thermal treatment on the composition, energy value and sensory quality of the meat will be investigated, too.
