Abstract

The fat from subcutaneous tissue samples of Iberian pigs was extracted by solvent (2:1 chloroform-methanol) and by the action of microwave energy. The samples of liquid fat obtained by both extraction techniques were analysed by gas chromatography. Paired comparisons showed no significant differences in fatty acids in suggesting that the fat obtained by the two techniques was the same and that the extraction of fatty acids by microwaves is suitable for quality classification of Iberian pig carcasses.
