As previously mentioned, intramuscular fat from foal meat
is rich in PUFA, since a-linolenic acid represents percentages between
7 and 12% in foal meat (Lorenzo et al., 2014). To this regard,
relatively higher amounts of a-linolenic acid (between 0.32 and
0.44 g/100 g of fat) were found in dry-cured foal sausages.
