fat is very important for fl avor development,
while the composition in fatty acids mainly
depends on the feed given to pigs (Jim é nez -
Colmenero et al. 2006 ) and the crossbreed
used (Armero et al. 2002 ). Any undesirable
aroma or oxidative development (i.e., rancidity)
must be detected before processing.
Hams are usually boned before brine
injection.
