Fatty acid and volatile compounds from salami manufactured with yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) extract and pork back fat and meat from pigs fed on diets with partial replacement of maize with rice bran

Four batches of salami were manufactured. Back fat and meat from pigs fed on diets with maize or maize partially substituted with rice bran (maize/rice bran, 62/38, w/w) were used to prepare two different batches, M and M/RB, respectively. The other two batches (M-YM or M/RB-YM) were prepared as batch M or M/RB, added a yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) extract. Salamis did not show differences in percentual general composition, texture analysis or sensory features. The TBAR values were affected by the storage time. The use of yerba mate extract controlled the lipid oxidation. eral, salamis M/RB and M/RB-YM showed higher concentrations of C18:2 n − 6, C18:3 n − 3 and polyunsaturated n − 6 and n − 3 fatty acids. Salamis M and M-YM showed high C18:1 n − 9, and saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid contents. Volatile compounds from lipid oxidation were the most abundant in salamis M/RB and M, while volatiles from fermentation were dominant in salamis M-YM and M/RB-YM.
