The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of unconventional food resources on the quality of
pig meat. 90 pigs of which 20 were slaughtered at 180 days old for meat quality evaluation. It came
out from the study that the highest L* and b* were obtained in A0 commercial feed, while the
highest a* was recorded in A3 (P < 0.05). From 45 minutes to 24 h post-mortem, the highest pork
hue value was recorded in A2, whereas the highest chromaticity was found in A0. The pH 45 and
pH 24 of Mld (Muscle Longissimus dorsi) were lower in control group than in experimental groups.
The cooking loss and water-holding capacity of the meat from A4 were higher than those of other
treatments. Luminance, redness, yellowness, chroma values and pH of the pork had increased during
the post-mortem aging time for the both diet treatments while the hue value decreased (P <
0.05). Nutritionally, the protein content, the fat content, the dry matter content and the ash content
varied respectively from 24.45% to 26.87%, 0.52% to 1.6%, 26% to 27.5% and 1.1% to 1.79% with
the highest protein contents found in meat from unconventional feed A4 (P < 0.01) while the highest
fat content (1.6%) was obtained from meat of the control group A0 (P < 0.001). The texture of
the meat from the control group was better than those of experimental groups (P < 0.01). Overall,
unconventional diet based on Azolla and Moringa improves technological and nutritional pork
quality. |
