Abstract
Five batches of cooked hams were manufactured using pork legs enriched in polyunsaturated n−3 fatty acids and α-tocopherol from animals fed on diets with the same ingredients excepting the oil source [sunflower oil (batch control, C), linseed oil (L), 1/1 w/w linseed and olive oil (LO) and 20 (C, L and LO) or 200 (LOE and LE) mg/kg diet of α-tocopherol]. A final product was obtained enriched in n−3 fatty acids with a healthier polyunsaturated fatty acid n6/n3 ratio (<3) from all linseed oil-enriched batches than those of the Control (10.5). The only significant differences (p<0.05) found in cooked hams were in the fatty acid composition and the α-tocopherol content.
