SUMMARY:

The Amazon region is known for its rich biodiversity, and the riverside population, which lives along the riverbanks and has an essential relationship with the Amazon rainforest, plays a crucial role in the ecological balance of the region. A diet based on fish and game meat can be critical to the food security of riverside populations, providing proteins and other essential nutrients. However, the scientific literature still lacks comprehensive information on the nutritional composition of these meats, which hinders studies and nutritional interventions in this context. This study aimed to determine the nutritional profile of wild animal meat consumed by the riverside population of the middle Solimoes region of Amazonas. To this end, samples were collected for convenience in three reserves served by the Mamiraua Institute for Sustainable Development: Flona Reserve, Amana Reserve, and Mamiraua Reserve. A total of 93 samples were collected, 58 of which were mammals, 23 of birds and 12 of reptiles. The muscle tissues were analyzed to determine the centesimal composition following the methodology of the official analysis methods of the Official Analytical Collaboration Association. The mineral profile was determined using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. The results were subjected to normality assessment (Shapiro-Wilk). Parametric data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's test, while nonparametric data were evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's test with P < 0.05. Ash determination indicated 1.24 (0.46), 1.29 (0.10), 1.11 (0.22) per 100 g of meat in mammals, birds and reptiles, respectively, with no statistical difference (H(2) = 5.6672; p = 0.0588). Protein content also did not differ between groups (F(2, 22) = 1.905, p = 0.173), with averages per 100 g being 22.46 (1.54), 23.29 (1.82), 22.28 (2.69) in mammals, birds and reptiles, respectively. The determination of lipid content showed 6.06 (1.83), 5.79 (1.50), 6.13 (5.28) per 100 g of meat in mammals, birds and reptiles, respectively, with no statistical difference (H(2) = 3.0085; p = 0.2222). The mineral manganese showed significant differences between mammals and birds (p.adj = 0.0324). Magnesium (p.adj = 0.0195), copper (p.adj = 0.0319) and selenium (p.adj = 0.0137) are present in birds and reptiles. When comparing the meats of mammals, birds and reptiles with meats already commonly present in the population's diet, we can deduce the nutritional similarity between them, and they are considered an excellent nutritional source. The instrument constructed with composition data will support research in the area and will also serve as a basis for future strategies to promote nutritional food security in these communities.
