The meat underwent slow oxidative deterioration over 9 days of storage. However, the
Carob 15% treatment increased meat susceptibility to lipid oxidation across storage (P= 0.03), while the dietary
treatment did not affect meat colour stability. In conclusion, feeding pigs with carob pulp could represent a strategy,
in the Mediterranean areas, to naturally improve meat nutritional value and to promote the exploitation of
this local feed resource.
