Pork fats

U radu su prikazana glavna mjesta nakupljanja masnog tkiva u trupu svinja (tjelesne šupljine, potkožno, između i unutar mišića), opisana je građa masnog tkiva koje dolazi u sastavu mesa s posebnim osvrtom na sadržaj i sastav intramuskularne masti te utjecaj intramuskularne masti na organoleptička svojstva mesa. Opisan je sastav masnih kiselina tjelesnih masti svinja s osvrtom na sastav masnih kiselina triglicerida i fosfolipida intramuskularne masti i leđne slanine te je dat prikaz tipičnog sastava masnih kiselina mišićnog i masnog tkiva konzumne svinjetine. Sadržaji osnovnih omeg-6 i omega-3 kiselina (linolne i alfalinolenske kiseline), kao i nutritivni omjeri masnih kiselina (LA/ALA, n-6/n-3, P/S) u mišićnom i masnom tkivu svinja prikazani su na primjeru nekih modernih i tradicionalnih pasmina svinja i proizvodima.The main fat depots in the pig body (internal cavities, subcutaneous, inter- and intramuscular fat) were reviewed and structure of adipose tissue present in pork meat was described. Content and structure of intramuscular fat were reviewed in particular, as well as its influence on sensory properties of meat. Fatty acid composition of body fats in pigs was explained with special focus on the composition of fatty acids in the triglycerides and phospholipids of intramuscular fat. The characteristic fatty acid composition of muscle and adipose tissue of retail pork was given. The content of the main omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids (linolenic and alpha-linolenic acid) with relevant nutritional ratios (LA/ALA, n-6/n-3, P/S) of fatty acids in pig muscle and back fat were presented through examples of some modern and traditional pig breeds, as well as products
