(Elsevier, 2012)This study was designed to compare the quality of veal produced from ‘Tudanca x Charolais’ cross (n=6) and Limousin (n=6) breeds when allowed to feed freely on mountain pastures and suckle naturally from birth to 7 months ... -
Length of concentrate finishing affects the fatty acid composition of grass-fed andgenetically lean beef: an emphasis on trans-18:1 and conjugated linoleic acid profiles
Aldai Elkoro-Iribe, Noelia; Dugan, M. E. R.; Kramer, J. K. G.; Martínez, A.; López Campos, O.; Mantecón, Angel R.; Osoro, K. (2011)Intensively finishing cattle on a high-grain diet is generally used to enhance marbling, whereas extensively finishing on grass is known to provide improved muscle fatty acid profiles. The objective of this study was to ... -
Rapid determination of total CLA concentration in beef fat
Aldai Elkoro-Iribe, Noelia; Rolland, D. C.; Kramer, J. K. G.; Dugan, M. E. R. (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2007-06)[EN]Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has many potential healthful properties, and beef is naturally enriched with CLA. Simple and rapid methods to measure total CLA were investigated to enable sorting of beef carcasses with ... -
Review: Trans-forming beef to provide healthier fatty acid profiles
Dugan, M. E. R.; Aldai Elkoro-Iribe, Noelia; Aalhus, J. L.; Rolland, D. C.; Kramer, J. K. G. (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2011-12)[EN]Trans fatty acids are found naturally in foods, particularly in those derived from ruminant animals, such as beef and dairy cattle. Over the past few decades, human consumption of trans fatty acids has increased, but ... -
Subcutaneous fat composition of youthful and mature Canadian beef: emphasis on individual conjugated linoleic acid and trans-18:1 isomers
Dugan, M. E. R.; Rolland, D. C.; Aalhus, J. L.; Aldai Elkoro-Iribe, Noelia; Kramer, J. K. G. (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2008-12)[EN]A comprehensive evaluation of the fatty acid composition of subcutaneous adipose tissue from beef cattle produced in western Canada was undertaken to determine if the current Canadian grading system is able to distinguish ...
