Abstract:

Two brands of commercial organic mutton produced in Xinjiang were compared for differences in sensory quality, heavy metal, antibiotic, and volatile basic nitrogen contents, pesticide residues and microbiological indexes. Results showed that both brands of Xinjiang organic mutton exhibited high quality and good safety and therefore had tremendous development potential. Meanwhile, some measures were proposed to ensure quality and safety of Xinjiang organic mutton.

Key words: organic mutton, quality, safety, pesticide residue, heavy metal
