Comparison of Intramuscular Fat Composition of Red Muscle and White Muscle

Red Muscle과 White Muscle의 근섬유간 지방질의 조성 비교

Red muscle and white muscle were separated from bovine, porcine and poultry skeletal muscles, respectively. Intramuscular lipids were extracted and fractionated to neutral-, glyco- and phospho-lipid by silica gel chromagraphy and then fatty acid composition were analyzed with gas chromatography. The results obtained were as follows; Total lipid content of red muscle was higher than that of white muscle in case of beef and chicken. In pork, however, total lipid content of white muscle was higher than red muscle The content ratio of neutral lipid to phospholipid revealed a number of distinctions between red and white muscle among animals. There were noteworthy differences in respect of polyunsaturated fatty acid. The intramuscular fat of pork had the higher content of highly polyunsaturated fatty acid such as arachidonic acid in contrast to beef.

1. 섬유간 지방질 함량은 소와 닭의 근섬유의 경우에는 white muscle보다 red muscle에서 높게 나타났으나 돼지 근섬유의 경우에는 white muscle쪽이 높았다. 2. 근섬유간 지질의 분포를 살펴보면 중성지질이 가장 많이 차지하고 극성지질과의 조성비에 있어서는 동물의 종 및 muscle type에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 3. 지방관의 조성에 있어서는 불포화 지방산의 함량비가 두 muscle type 사이에서 다르게 나타났으며 특히 돼지의 근섬유간 지방질에는 고도불포화지방산 함량이 높은 특징을 보였다.
