To determine the contents of chicken nuggets from 2 national food chains.
Chicken nuggets have become a major component of the American diet. We sought to determine the current composition of this highly processed food.
Randomly selected nuggets from 2 different national fast food chains were fixed in formalin, sectioned and stained for microscopic analysis.
Striated muscle (chicken meat) was not the predominate component in either nugget. Fat was present in equal or greater quantities along with epithelium, bone, nerve, and connective tissue.
Chicken nuggets are mostly fat, and their name is a misnomer.
确定来自 2 个全国性食品连锁店的鸡块的成分。
鸡块已成为美国人饮食的主要组成部分。我们试图确定这种高度加工食品的当前成分。
从 2 个不同的全国性快餐连锁店中随机选择鸡块,用福尔马林固定,切片并染色进行显微镜分析。
无论是哪种鸡块,条纹状肌肉(鸡肉)都不是主要成分。脂肪的含量与上皮组织、骨头、神经和结缔组织相等或更多。
鸡块主要是脂肪,它们的名字是用词不当。
