Previously we have shown that pork from pigs fed high flaxseed containing can be subject to rancidity.\u00a0 The objective of this experiment was to determine if added vitamin E could mitigate this problem.\u00a0 A total of 96 growing pigs were fed one of 3 different diets for 11 weeks prior to slaughter.\u00a0 The diets contained either 0 or 5 % flaxseed or 5% flaxseed plus 200 mg\/kg vitamin E. As expected feeding flaxseed increased the omega-3 fatty acid content of the pork, especially high fat pork products.\u00a0 This was accompanied by the detection of off-flavours such as rancidity.\u00a0 The added vitamin E lessened these negative side-effects although this pork still did not score as high as that from animals fed no flaxseed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
