Journal ArticleDOI
Fat deposition, fatty acid composition and meat quality: A review
J. D. Wood,MB Enser,AV Fisher,G.R. Nute,P.R. Sheard,R. I. Richardson,SI Hughes,F. M. Whittington +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a major factor is the total amount of fat and that phospholipid, where 18:2n-6 is located, declines as a proportion of muscle lipid and the proportion of neutral lipid, with its higher content of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a high-linolenic acid diet on lipogenic enzyme activities, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in the growing pig.
TL;DR: Inclusion of linseed (flaxseed) in swine diets is a valid method of improving the nutritional value of pork without deleteriously affecting organoleptic characteristics, oxidation, or color stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of dietary oils and protein level on pork quality. 1. Effects on muscle fatty acid composition, carcass, meat and eating quality
TL;DR: The results suggest that PKO and PO could be used in tropical developing countries as cheaper alternatives to SBO for the production of good quality and healthy pork, but their limits of inclusion need to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotype with nutrition interaction on fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat and the relationship with flavour of pig meat
N. D. Cameron,M. Enser,G.R. Nute,F. M. Whittington,J.C Penman,A. C. Fisken,A.M. Perry,J. D. Wood +7 more
TL;DR: The selection lines responded in a similar manner to the different diets, such that there was little evidence for genotype with nutrition interactions for fatty acid concentrations of neutral lipids and phospholipids.
Journal ArticleDOI
A reduced protein diet induces stearoyl-CoA desaturase protein expression in pig muscle but not in subcutaneous adipose tissue: relationship with intramuscular lipid formation.
TL;DR: The results suggest that an increase in intramuscular but not subcutaneous adipose tissue fatty acids under the influence of a RPD is related to tissue-specific activation of SCD expression, and it is suggested that the SCD isoform spectra in pig sub cutaneous adiposes tissue and muscle might be different.
