Biochemical, Oxidative, and Lipolytic Changes during Vacuum-Packed Storage of Dry-Cured Loin: Effect of Chestnuts Intake by Celta Pigs

Table 2

Biochemical, lipolytic, and oxidative parameters of dry-cured loin from Celta pig fed with three finishing diets (chestnut, mixed, and concentrate), after manufacturing process and after 3 and 6 months of vacuum-packed storage.
