Abstract

Sarajevo kebabs are a traditional specialty of the national cuisine of Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the current Regulations, they belong to the group of meat products made from shredded shaped meat. Some sources claim that the production and sale of kebabs in Sarajevo (Stari Grad Baščaršija) has been present for centuries. There are no written traces, although it is quite realistic to assume that kebabs were brought to our area by the Ottomans during their conquests. Even though the Banja Luka and Travnik cevapi are also famous in Bosnia and Herzegovina today, the Sarajevo ones have the greatest reputation and tradition. They are part of Sarajevo's identity and culture. Films have also been made about Sarajevo kebabs. They are an unavoidable tourist offer of the City of Sarajevo for many tourists from all over the world. It has long been a well-known maxim among tourists that if you haven't tried kebabs from Baščaršija, you haven't even been to Sarajevo. Although Sarajevo kebabs are known all over the world, they are even ranked in the top 10 best dishes in the world, they are still not protected at the national level. The goal of this research is to establish certain qualitative parameters of Sarajevo kebabs, which will be used in the product protection process. According to current regulations, it is possible to protect Sarajevo kebabs with the mark of guaranteed traditional specialty. In the paper, research was carried out on the physical, sensory and chemical characteristics of Sarajevo kebabs. On the basis of the conducted research, statistically significant (p<0,05) differences were found in all examined parameters. Particularly significant differences were found when determining the physical parameters. The length of kebabs was in the interval from 51,92 to 63,92 mm. Sensory quality also had considerable variation. Regarding the chemical parameters of the quality of Sarajevo kebabs, the most significant fluctuations were found in the fat content. This parameter varied from 13.44 % to 24.65 %. Statistical analysis established certain correlative relationships, especially in the relationships of sensory assessment with physico-chemical quality parameters. Based on the conducted research, there is a need to standardize the production technology, in order to start the process of protecting this traditional meat product.
