Extract

Biological subcellular membranes (mitochondria and microsome) contain relatively large amounts of phospholipids which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and are readily susceptible to lipid peroxidation. Thus, it is believed that peroxidative changes in meat is initiated at the membrane level. Monahan et al. (1990) have shown that these membranes are particularly rich in α-tocopherol (AT), hence, the effects of increased dietary supply of α-tocopheryl acetate (ATA) and UFA (from full-fat rapeseed; FFR) on AT content, fatty acid profiles and peroxidative changes in porcine mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were studied.
