Effect of different dietary factors on intramuscular fat content in pigs

Tous Closa, Núria 09 November 2012 (has links)
El objetivo de esta tesis es: (1) determinar si el consumidor español asocia la grasa intramuscular (GIM) a la aceptabilidad de la carne de cerdo; (2) incrementar la GIM a través de estrategias nutricionales (adición de acido linoleico conjugado, reducción de vitamina A, reducción de proteína, lisina, suplementación con arginina y leucina). Los resultados mostraron que desde el punto de vista gustativo el consumidor prefiere la carne con un mayor contenido de GIM. Se obtuvo un incremento de la GIM al reducir el nivel de proteína (sin modificar la lisina) o al reducir el nivel de lisina (sin modificar la proteína) y al utilizar una línea genética grasa y no en una línea genética más magra. Se puede concluir que la modificación de la GIM a través de la dieta depende del genotipo, y que las modificaciones de los niveles de proteína y lisina son las más eficaces. / The objective of this thesis was: (1) to test if Spanish consumers associate intramuscular fat (IMF) content with acceptability of pork meat; (2) to increase IMF through nutritional strategies (supplementation with conjugated linoleic acid, reduction of vitamin A, reduction of protein, lysine, supplementation with arginine and leucine). Results showed that from the point of view of taste, consumers prefer the meat with a high IMF content. An increase of IMF was observed when dietary protein or lysine were reduced (without modifying lysine or protein content, respectively) in a fatter but not in a leaner genotype. It can be concluded that modification of IMF content through the diet depends on the genotype, and that changes in dietary protein and lysine levels elicit the greatest response.
