Composición De Carne De Cerdo en Un Sistema De Producción Natural

Abstract

Swine production in Chile is mainly based on an intensive confinement production system (conventional system). However, in recent years, increasing interest for healthy food has resulted in the use of a natural production system, which is an attractive alternative consisting of an extensive system with access to grassland. The aim of this study was to determine the composition of pork meat produced in a natural system. The pH and proximal analysis of: pork loin (Longissimus dorsi) (n = 54) and pork leg pulp (n = 54) were determined. The profile of fatty acids in loin, leg pulp and
