According to Gatlin, See, Hansen, Sutton, and Odle (2002), the fatty acid profile of fat deposited in pigs is similar to that given in the diet, although according to Lόpez-Bote and Rey (2001) this concerns primarily adipose tissue. In the present study, regardless of dietary treatment, the iodine value of intramuscular fat (58–60) was lower than the average for pork (68) and much lower than the upper limit appropriate for meat shelf life and processing (Benz et al., 2010 and Benz et al., 2011a).
