“…In contrast, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and especially ω-3 type PUFAs, have beneficial health effects (Simopoulos, 1997;Connor, 2000). Therefore, great efforts are being made to improve the lipid fraction of meat products, some of them attempting an increment in the PUFA content (Del Nobile, Conte, Incoronato, Panza, Sevi & Marino, 2009;Jiménez-Colmenero, 2007;Lee, Faustman, Djordjevic, Faraji & Decker, 2006;Martín, Ruiz, Kivikari & Puolanne, 2008;Pelser, Linssen, Legger & Houben, 2007;García-Íñiguez de Ciriano, Larequi, Rehecho, Calvo, Cavero & Navarro-Blasco, 2010a;García-Íñiguez de Ciriano et al, 2010b).
