abstract = "Goat meat quality depends on many factors, primarily diet, race, gender, stress, environment,
management. Goat meat contains low quantity of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, and fatty acids
composition depends on nutrition. The main objective of this study was to examine the influence of plantbased
diets from different regions (hilly and plain) on fatty acids composition of fresh goat meat. The fresh
meat is obtained from Balkan goats breed (about 4 years old) originating from hilly and plain regions. Gas
chromatography with flame-ionization detector (GC-FID) and fatty acids methyl esters (FAMEs) derived by
transesterification from fats are used to determine fatty acids profile according to ISO 12966 method.
Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) is noted between values of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
of compared fresh goat meat originating from different regions. The amount of examined monounsaturated
fatty acids is lower in fresh goat meat from plain area. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as alpha-linolenic (n-
3 FA), linolelaidic and linoleic acids are found in higher percentage (1.2%, 0.4% and 3.0%, respectively) in
goat meat from hilly region. The results suggest that plant-based diet consist of different species of herbs
distinctive to certain regions has an impact on the composition and quality of goat meat fatty acids profile.",
