Different strategies have been considered for achieving
healthier lipid meat products. Most of them entail reducing fat and/or
replacing animal fat with vegetable and/or marine oils to produce a
food more in line with health recommendations: reducing saturated
fatty acids (SFAs) and cholesterol and increasing monounsaturated
fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs, specially
n-3).
