Abstract

The definition of meat has evolved over time. In the King James Version of the Bible, meat was used to refer to food in general (John 4:8, Romans 14:7, and Mathew 3:4). Items required for the fulfillment of the law of the ceremonial meat offering were flour, oil, and frankincense (Leviticus 6:14–23). Currently, meat is defined as the flesh of animals used for food (Lawrie and Ledward, 2006). In practice, the definition is restricted to several dozens of the 3,000 mammalian species often widened to include the musculature organs such as the liver, kidney, brain, and other edible tissues (Lawrie and Ledward, 2006). Additionally, the American Meat Science Association has defined meat as skeletal muscle and its associated tissue (including nerves, connective tissue, blood vessels, skin, fat and bones) and edible offal derived from mammals, avian, and aquatic species deemed as safe and suitable for human consumption. Inevitably, the latter clarifies the definition by widening the range of tissues useful as meat. Ghana is located on the West Coast of Africa 10° north of the equator with a population of 25 million people as of the last census in 2012 and more than 40 languages and 75 different dialects. Ethnic groups in Ghana comprise the Akan (47.5%), Mole-Dagbon (16.6%), Ewe (13.9%), Ga-Dangme (7.4%), Gurma (5.7%), Guan (3.7%), Grusi (2.5%), MandeBusanga (1.1%), and other (1.6%) and are sharply distinguished by distinctly different languages (Ghana Statistical Services, 2012). The Akan languages (Twi, Asante, and Fante) are the most commonly spoken. The of-
加纳的肉是什么
肉的定义随着时间的推移而演变。在钦定本圣经中,肉一般用来指食物(约翰福音4:8,罗马书14:7,马太福音3:4)。为了满足礼仪性肉祭的律法,所需要的物品是面粉、油和乳香(利未记6:14-23)。目前,肉被定义为用于食物的动物的肉(Lawrie和Ledward, 2006)。在实践中,这一定义仅限于3000种哺乳动物中的几十种,经常扩大到包括肌肉组织器官,如肝、肾、脑和其他可食用组织(Lawrie和Ledward, 2006)。此外,美国肉类科学协会将肉定义为骨骼肌及其相关组织(包括神经、结缔组织、血管、皮肤、脂肪和骨骼)和可食用的内脏,这些内脏来自哺乳动物、鸟类和水生物种,被认为是安全且适合人类食用的。不可避免地,后者通过扩大可用作肉的组织范围来澄清定义。加纳位于赤道以北10°的非洲西海岸,根据2012年的最后一次人口普查,人口为2500万,有40多种语言和75种不同的方言。加纳的少数民族包括Akan族(47.5%),Mole-Dagbon族(16.6%),Ewe族(13.9%),Ga-Dangme族(7.4%),Gurma族(5.7%),Guan族(3.7%),Grusi族(2.5%),MandeBusanga族(1.1%)和其他(1.6%),并因不同的语言而明显区分(加纳统计服务,2012)。阿坎语(Twi, Asante和Fante)是最常用的语言。的-
