Survey of the fatty acid composition of Canadian beef: Backfat and longissimus lumborum muscle

Aldai Elkoro-Iribe, Noelia; Dugan, M. E. R.; Rolland, D. C.; Kramer, K. G. (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009-09)

[EN]A survey of Canadian retail beef was undertaken with emphasis on the trans fatty acid (TFA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers, and compared with current health recommendations. Thirty striploin steaks were ...

Phenotypic correlations of fatty acid composition among intramuscular, subcutaneous and intermuscular fat tissues in concentrate-fed beef cattle of differing genotypes

Aldai Elkoro-Iribe, Noelia; Dugan, M. E. R.; Osoro, K.; Wang, Z.; Crews, D. H.; Li, C. (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009-03)

[EN]In an attempt to predict intramuscular fatty acid composition using easily accessible fat depots, between-tissue correlations were studied in 75 Asturiana de los Valles bulls with different levels of muscular hypertrophy, ...

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 ...

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 ...
