- Abstract
-
The aim of this work was the quantification of polyphenols in subcutaneous adipose tissue from Iberian
pigs fed in three different production systems during the final fattening phase ("montanera", "recebo" and "pienso").
There were statistically significant differences between the three feeding systems in total phenol content. Total phenol
content was highest in "montanera" (9.11 mg/kg). On the contrary, the pigs that received exclusively a diet based on
compound feed (6.74 mg/kg) showed the lowest levels. Pigs fed on acorn in their initial phase of fattenig and finished
with compound feed (7.95 mg/kg) presented intermediate values. Acorns provide an amount of 9 g of total phenol/kg
of acorn ingested. The HPLC profiles are presented at various wavelengths of the phenolic extracts from acorn
endosperm and adipose subcutaneous tissue. - issue
