Summary

The flavour of meat from sheep grazing rape (Brassica napusL.) was compared with that from grass-fed sheep in a series of experiments. The occurrence of a strong and unattractive foreign flavour and aroma was confirmed but the intensity of flavour was not consistent. The intensity was apparently unaffected by cultivar, growth stage, length of grazing period or breed or age of sheep.
