| description | This study investigated the effects of breed on the fatty acid compositions of
the <i>Longissimus thoracis et lumborum</i> (LTL) of gilts and barrows.
Although only one muscle was analyzed, the results gave a good indication of
the effect that breed and sex may have on the fatty acid compositions of the
meat. Breed exhibited a significant effect on the fatty acid composition of
pigs, whereas the effects of sex were found to be minor. Higher contents of
intramuscular fat (IMF), C16 : 1, C18 : 1 and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs); darker color of meat; and lower cholesterol
content, drip loss, C18 : 0, C18 : 2, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), n-6 and n-6 : n-3 ratios were found in the LTL
muscle of Pulawska pigs compared with Polish Landrace pigs. Meat of Pulawska
pigs is especially suitable for the production of good-quality, cured and smoked
loin for longer storage. Fat content was higher in barrows than in gilts, and
as a consequence the IMF from barrows had higher saturated fatty acid proportions
and hypercholesterolemic acids (OFAs) as well as lower C18 : 1 than that from gilts. |
