Marinating is a simple technological treatment used to improve the tenderness and flavour of meat by soaking it in an aqueous solution which is composed of different ingredients. That also increases water brinding capacity of meat, thus reducing cooking losses and improving meat juiciness. The aim of current research was to investigate a degree of preference of marinated roasted venison meat. The red deer (Cervus elaphus) meat samples were obtained from a local farm “Saulstari 1”. The experiments were carried out in the Latvia University of Agriculture, Faculty of Food Technology. Prepared samples were marinated at 4 ± 2 deg C temperature in the refrigerator for 48 ± 1 h. After marinating, venison meat samples were wrapped in aluminium foil, and cooked on a pre-heated double hotplate grill at 200 ± 2 deg C temperature until ready to eat (45 ± 2 min). The cooked hot meat samples were sensory evaluated. The sensory evaluation was carried out by using the nine point hedonic scale – ISO 4121:2003. The sensory evaluation of meat sample with thyme and juniper berries showed that the degree of preference was not so high (approximately – 6.0 points). For the venison meat preliminary treatment mayonnaise and tomato sauce marinades possibly could be recommended for acquiring better sensory properties of ready to eat product.
