“…NIRS has been used to determine the total fat and FA composition of rabbit meat (Pla, Hernández, Ariño, Ramírez, & Díaz, 2007), chicken (Berzaghi, Della Zotte, Jansson, & Andrighetto, 2005) and pork (Pérez-Marín, De Pedro, Guerrero-Ginel, & Garrido-Varo, 2009) or pork products (Fernandez-Cabanas, Polvillo, Rodriguez-Acuña, Botella, & Horcada, 2011). Information on the FA analysis of ruminant products by NIRS is relatively scant and mainly concerns FA prediction for milk (Coppa et al, 2010) and cheese (Lucas, Andueza, Ferlay, & Martin, 2008) and for bovine meat (Realini, Duckett, & Windham, 2004;Sierra et al, 2008;Windham & Morrison, 1998).…”
