title: n-Alkane content of intramuscular lipids of Iberian fresh ham from different feeding systems and crossbreeding.
abstract: n-Alkane content of intramuscular lipids (Biceps femoris muscle) of the Iberian pig have been determined. Thirty-four pigs, divided into four groups, based in the feeding system (Montanera, fed on acorns and pasture; and Pienso, fed on a concentrate feed) and in the genotype (Iberian pure pigs; and Iberian crossbred with Duroc 50%) were studied. n-Alkane content of intramuscular lipids has not been affected by neither crossbreeding nor feeding, although the analysis of feeds administered to the pigs showed greater n-alkane values in pasture (consumed by animals in montanera), than in acorns and concentrate feed.
