When expressed in these two ways depending if it is heme content or pigment, heme iron is expressed in g hematine/ 100g muscle, g myoglobin/ 100g meat, g heme iron/ 100 g muscle (are this different?)
I would like to express my results in g of heme iron/ 100 g meat. Which would be the formula to use the factor above?

If you consider that each myoglobin has only one iron atom inside it, and calculate how much myoglobin do you have in 100 grams of muscle. Similarly, if you calculate how much ferritin/hemosiderin do you have in 100 grams of muscle, maybe you can discover what you want, using the results in the factor that you describe in your question.
