Abstract
Samples of intramuscular fat were collected from six males Fallow Deer living wild, in order to control the total cholesterol content (according to Boach, 1988) and the fatty acid composition by means of gas chromatography, HPLC and TLC. Total lipids resulted mainly composed by phospholipids, free fatty acids and cholesterol. Fatty acid composition resulted dissimilar to that of domesticated ruminants, mainly because lower oleic acid and CLA content and because the occurrence of branched fatty acids (7%) in proportions greater than those normally found in ruminant tissue lipids. Unsaturated fatty acids resulted 63% of total fatty acids, PUFA represented 80% UFA. The n-3/n-6 ratio was unbalanced toward n-6 (0.25). Linoleic and arachidonic acids were 23.5% and 13.4% respectively. The total cholesterol content was 102 mg/100g fresh meat.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
