The fatty acid composition and cholesterol content of MLLT from the examined pigs are shown in Table 1. In
general,palmitic acid (C16:0) was the most abundant saturated fatty acid (SFA), oleic acid (C18:1 cis-9) the most
abundant monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), and linoleic acid (C18:2 n-6) the most abundant polyunsaturated
fatty acid (PUFA) in the MLLT of the examined pigs. SFA and PUFA were found in significantly higher percentages
in MLLT of SL pigs (43.37% and 11.47%, respectively) than in SBM and WM pigs (p< 0.001). In contrast, MUFA
and unsaturated fatty acids (USFA) were found in significantly higher percentages in MLLT of SBM and WM than
in SL pigs (p < 0.001). Zăhan et al.13showed Mangalitsa pigs contained high levels of palmitic and stearic (SFA),
oleic (MUFA) and linoleic (PUFA) fatty acids.
