THE MINERAL CONTENT of young and old avian muscles, in mature bovine and porcine tissues destined for processing, and in selected meat products and additives was determined. Inter‐ and intra‐species variations in mineral composition were found among all the muscle tissues investigated. Muscle‐to‐muscle variation was found to be highly significant for all but one of the minerals analyzed in the avian (K) and bovine (P) muscle tissues and all but three (Fe, Ca, P) in the porcine tissues. The mineral content of three major meat products and four meat additives are reported. The least variability in tissue mineral content was found when the data was expressed on a dry weight, fat free basis.
