The total lipid content revealed a very lean meat (0.99 g/100g of meat), with total cholesterol content averaging 55.6 mg/100g of muscle. The FA profile displayed a very high PUFA level for ruminant meat (30.2g/100g FA). The 18:2 cis-9,trans-11 content was fairly low (0.26% of total FA) compared with other ruminant meats. The comparison of stags and hinds showed more similarities than differences. Nevertheless, hinds displayed superior contents of α-tocopherol and trans MUFA and a better n-6/n-3 ratio than stags.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22695295</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutritional evaluation of the lipid fraction of feral wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) meat.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meat science</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elsevier Ltd</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">89</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">457-461</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consumer increasing demand for wild boar meat and scarceness of data on its lipid fraction justified this study. The psoas major muscle collected from 25 feral wild boars was used to quantify the total lipid, total cholesterol, fatty acid (FA) profile, and vitamin E homologues. Intramuscular fat and total cholesterol contents averaged 4.64 g/100g of meat and 56.9 mg/100g of meat, respectively. No differences were found in FA composition between groups, except for 20:5n-3 that was higher in youngsters. All groups presented small concentrations of rumenic acid in meat (CLA; 0.24% of total FA). FA profile showed considerable resemblance with pork, while the vitamin E profile is marked by high concentrations of both alpha- (17.4 ± 3.3 μg/g meat) and gamma-tocopherols (2.6 ± 1.3 μg/g meat) and by the presence of other vitamin E homologues not previously reported in wild boar meat.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21658850</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fatty acid composition, conjugated linoleic acid isomers and cholesterol in beef from crossbred bullocks intensively produced and from Alentejana purebred bullocks reared according to Carnalentejana-PDO specifications.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meat science</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">72</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">425-436</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The purpose of this study was to characterise and compare the nutritional value of Portuguese Carnalentejana-PDO beef, obtained from Alentejana purebred bullocks reared in a semi-extensive system, with the meat from Alentejana×Charolais crossbred bullocks produced in a conventional intensive concentrate-based system. In addition, seasonal changes in Carnalentejana-PDO beef quality were assessed, by analysing meat samples from animals slaughtered in early autumn and late spring. The results showed that beef-PDO has different intramuscular fat characteristics in comparison with meat from crossbred bullocks fed intensively with concentrate. However, the finishing period of Alentejana purebred bullocks with concentrate seems to attenuate most of the typical grass-fed characteristics of meat fat. Nevertheless, from a human nutrition perspective, Carnalentejana-PDO beef seems to be healthier than that from intensively reared animals since it has a lower n-6/n-3 ratio, although always above the recommended guidelines for human diet, and higher proportions of c9,t11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomer and total CLA relative to saturated fatty acids plus total cholesterol (CLA/SFA+CHR). Furthermore, no seasonal variation in the nutritional quality of beef-PDO was apparent. Taken together, the data indicate that Carnalentejana-PDO beef is of greater nutritional value than intensively produced beef from crossbred bullocks throughout the year.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22061726</style></accession-num></record></records></xml>
