Mc. Lluch et al., TRANS ISOMERS CONTENTS OF THE FATTY-ACIDS IN MEAT-PRODUCTS .2. ADIPOSE-TISSUE AND INTRAMUSCULAR FAT FROM PORK, Grasas y aceites, 44(2), 1993, pp. 97-100
We give the results obtained for the determination of trans fatty acid
s in subcutaneous and intramuscular fats from different pork samples,
using gas chromatography. Values obtained are low and similar in both
kind of fats, with a mean value of 0.6% of C18:1 trans. A clear influe
nce of animal feeding is detected due to the significant differences o
f this isomer content between samples from different origin. Also, cor
relations have been observed between C18:1 t. content and saturated, m
ono, polinsaturated fatty acids and fat intramuscular contents.
