Consequently, greater levels of VE produced meat with
lower (P < 0.001) levels of SFA and greater levels of
unsaturated fatty acids (USFA; P < 0.001), leading to
an increase in the unsaturated/saturated (U/S) ratio (P
< 0.001). No difference was observed by the influence
of different VE feeding durations on neutral fatty acid
profile of LM, with only a tendency (P < 0.10) to increase
C18:1n7 with increased feeding duration (9 wk).
