The lipid profile at 7 days was generally related (P b 0.01, Table 5)
with the hardness and springiness of mortadellas at 7 days of storage,
adhesiveness at 30 days (P b 0.05) and hardness and fracturability at
60 days (P b 0.01). On the other hand, cohesiveness, adhesiveness,
and chewiness throughout storage were mostly independent of the
physicochemical properties and fatty acid profiles of mortadellas at
7 days.
