Abdul Rehman Khan, Tayyaba Tallat, Tahseen Ghous and Habib-ur-Rehman

Determination of fats in different types of meat was carried out. These results showed that crude fat contents in beef, mutton, poultry and fish were 8.00, 13.04, 12.00 and 8.00 % respectively. Acid value of beef, mutton, poultry and fish was 2.5, 2.72, 1.6 and 8.00 respectively. Saponification number of the fats from these animals was 189, 180, 183 and 185 respectively. Iodine values were 45.3, 46.7, 60.0 and 109.2 respectively. The women of different age groups; 20-40 years, 30-40 years, 40-50 years and 50-60 years consume 9.9, 7.8, 5.4 and 4.6 % of fat through diet per day. This study also indicates that with increase in age dietary fat intakes decrease. By determining the remaining components of food like carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals, a proactive food chart can be developed that will be helpful to control the complications of diet among the different groups of women.
